all cats are grey

by robert smith, simon gallup, and laurence tolhurst

i am too paranoid to transcribe the keyboard chords to this song because i

am not too sure if they are keyboard chords, so instead i will do the

simple bass line. i think the keyboard plays the bass line (of course

with long gloom), but i am just not too sure about that. i do not know.

so without futher adieu here is the bass tab for that it.

this is the basic verse:

G -4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1---------------------------------

D ---------------------------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

A -----------------------------------------------------------------

E -----------------------------------------------------------------

the alternate part (or chorus is)

G -----------------------------------------------------------------

D -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-

A -----------------------------------------------------------------

E -----------------------------------------------------------------

(after this part the bass plays:

G -----------------

D -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-

A -----------------

E -----------------

this goes on I think four times after the chorus. it also goes on forever

at the end of the song, then finishes for that grand piano ending.

the lyrics, i assume are:

i never thought that i would find myself

dead amongst the stars

the colours are all red

begging to crush me

no shapes sail on the dark deep lakes

and no flags wave me home

in the caves

all cats are grey

in the caves

the textures coat my skin

in the death cell

a single note

rings on and on and on

(i really am not sure about those lyrics, so it may be left open to

interpretations. bye-bye for now).
