Porcupine Tree - Nine Cats guitar chord

NINE CATS (S. Wilson - A. Duffy)

Am D

The butterfly sailed on the breeze

Fmaj7 E

Past a field of barbed wire trees

Am D

Where golden dragons chased around

Fmaj7 E

Pampered poppies on the ground

C Am Fmaj7

Two silver trout sat way on high

C G Am Fmaj

And watched a royal samurai

C Am Fmaj7

Plant two black orchids in a box

C G Am Fmaj7

And strap it to a laughing fox

Am D

A minstrel bought a crooked spoon

Am D

He gave it to a blue baboon

Am D

Who filled it full of virgin snow

Fmaj7 G Am

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
