Genesis – All In A Mouses Night (Guitar)

C#
I can't see you but I know you're there

C#                             B6/C#
Got to get beside you cos it's really cold out here

C#
Come up close to me you'll soon be warm

C#                         B6/C#                  C#
Hold me tightly like we're sheltering from a storm

B6/C# A6/B  B6/C# A6/B
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah

F#m
Think I might go out for a stroll

Bm
Into the night, and out of this hole

                C#m
Maybe find me a meal

F#m
Walking along this new shag pile

Bm
Presents a problem all the while

           C#m
Nearly the door

C Em/B Am    G     Am
       Suddenly he bumps into wood, the door is closed

  Am
A voice from the bed, he'll be exposed

G#
Which way to run, must make for the hole

    Fm7                                            G    Em
The light's been turned on, he's blind as a mole in coal

Eb
Now I can see they're coming at me

                                                  D    D6
They've blocked off my door, I haven't a chance in hell

C#
Come on baby let the poor thing go

C#                         B6/C#
I'm not sleeping with that thing around here, no

C#
Alright then, I'll fetch a box from below

C#                           B6/C#              C#
Guard him carefully, they're very quick you know

B6/C# A6/B  B6/C# A6/B
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah

    F#m
The door's been opened, my chance to escape

Bm
Must run out quick, better sorry than late

               C#m
I'm out on the stairs

     F#m
They won't catch me now, I've the run of the house now

     Bm
I'll make it downstairs and into the breadbin

              C#m
That would be nice

C Em/B Am    G     Am
       Suddenly he bumps into fur, that's very unwise

  Am
A cat is much quicker than men and their eyes

    G#
The chase that ensues can have only one end

  Fm7                                         G    Em
Unless outside help steps in for our friend in need

Eb
But now the cat comes in for the kill

                                          D          D6
His paw is raised, soon blood will spill, yes it will

C#
Hard luck mouse, this is the end of your road

    C#                              B6/C#
The signpost says inside me, let me bear your heavy load

C#
But it's not to be, that final pounce

C#                    B6/C#                 C#
Knocks a jar upon his head, and lays him out

B6/C# A6/B  B6/C# A6/B
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah

C   D    G#       F       G
But it's all in a mouse's night

        G#     F           G
To take on all those who'd fight

C       F           Bb          C
There I was with my back to the wall

C               F                   Bb       Eb
Then comes this monster mouse, he's ten feet tall

     G#maj7    C#maj7   F#    Ebdim7
With teeth and claws to match

                 G7
It only took one blow
