As recorded by Cat Stevens (From the 1975 Album NUMBERS) [Intro] Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm N.C. Dm F G A Dm [Verse 1]
Dm                Am        Bb    
Once I had a dream, that worried me

A              Dm    F
Like a drunken guillotine

C              E            Am
Lingering just above my head

Dm     C    F    A
Why, why, why, why?

Bb      F Bb        C
Why was I born "The Nine"

A      E         Am
Cursed repeatedly

Bb        F    Bb          C
Who would know if I should die.

Am     E        Am
No one needed me
[Interlude]
Dm
Doo doo doo doo doo

A
Doo doo doo doo doo

Dm
Doo doo doo doo doo

A
Doo doo doo doo doo

Am      Dm
Doo doo doo doo doo

F       G       A
Doo doo doo doo doo
[Verse 2]
Dm F     C             Em                 A
Dark and empty was the place to which I'd come

Dm F     C              Em                A
Cold and silent was the house my name was on

D    Bb F  C     Em            A
Nine rooms and a tomb in every one

  Dm F     C             Em                 A    Dm
S'dark and empty was the place to which I'd come
[Verse 3]
Dm                   Am       Gm
All at once my bones began to change

A              Bb     F
I was tall and young again,

Bb       C    Am      E      A
Sweet as rain falling on the snow

Dm    C    E    A
Who, who, who, who?

Bb     F   C
Who is he, who am I, and

Am        E         Am
What laid in between?

Bb      F Bb      C    Am     E        A D
How can I say goodbye? No one let me in

            G        C   G   D  F#m
Can't see no need for Nine no more

             B       E        A
Now it's too late to open the door.
[Outro] Dm Am Gm A Dm A D A Dm G A G
