The Cat With The Cream

C Sitting at the old kitchen table Am Peace and health and dreams Stretching out in the darkness C Mother's up the stairs with her ageing new boyfriend Dm Cathy's staying in to make sure nothing happens G All aboard the freak parade F I cover up my head and pray C I'm praying for the light C Down amongst the old city chambers Am Men in frocks debate all the policy changes C Everybody bet on the boom and got busted Dm Everybody bet and in the government trusted G Grubby little red MP F Yellow flapping hopelessly Am Tory like the cat with the cream E Tory like the cat with the cream Am I studied you in history C I studied in the library Dm F In days of old when knights were bold Am C They'd settle it with swords and shields Dm F In days of old when knights were bold C It's settled by the king C Praying for a friend is contagious Am Especially when it comes at the old kitchen table C Listening for the swoosh of his quickening paces Dm Watching for the smile on the bravest of faces G How I wish you'd read to me F Verses rich in swallows and trees C To get me though the night C Waiting at the old kitchen table Am Listening for my code, listening for my instructions C Surely now I'm here, I am destined for greatness Dm I want to be the Queen pulling kids out of rivers G All aboard the freak parade F I cover up my head and pray Am I'm praying for the cat with the cream E I'm praying for the cat with the cream Am I studied you in history C I studied in the library Dm F In days of old when knights were bold Am C They'd settle it with swords and shields Dm F In days of old when knights were bold C It's settled by the king Cb5 It's settled by the king C It's settled by the king Cb5 C It's settled by the king
