LAm RE
The butterfly sailed on the breeze
FAmaj7 MI
Past a field of barbed wire trees
LAm RE
Where golden dragons chased around
FAmaj7 MI
Pampered poppies on the ground
DO LAm FAmaj7
Two silver trout sat way on high
DO SOL LAm FAmaj
And watched a royal samurai
DO LAm FAmaj7
Plant two black orchids in a box
DO SOL LAm FAmaj7
And strap it to a laughing fox
LAm RE
A minstrel bought a crooked spoon
LAm RE
He gave it to a blue baboon
LAm RE
Who filled it full of virgin snow
FAmaj7 SOL LAm
And watched it in the afterglow
Fat toad stood in his ballet shoes
Teaching sixteen kangaroos
How to skip across a lake
They found it hard to stay awake
A pharaoh played a merry tune
And watched nine cats dance on the moon
I didn't know what all this meant
I didn't know why I'd been sent.
The Insignificance version of Nine Cats has the following additional verse at the end:
I threw 5 clocks down on my bed
The chimes danced out on golden threads
And turned to footprints on my wall
Sequined tears began to fall
