Belle and Sebastian – The Cat With The Cream (Ukulele)

C
Sitting at the old kitchen table

                      Am
Peace and health and dreams

                C
Mother's up the stairs with her aging 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
