Verse 1:

        G        G/B    Am             G         G/B     Am
Cat's a-sleeping in the sun, eyes take heed; the colours call.
         G        G/B       Am            G      G/B      Am
Sunlight patterns touch the wall, red ker-chiefs sail and fall.

Cat's a-sleeping in the sun.

Interlude:

Am

Verse 2:

       G    G/B    Am             G      G/B      Am
Dragon kite in the sky, wheel and turns, spin and fly.
            G         G/B   Am               G        G/B   Am
Attacked by rooks and never fail, to cry the sound of fairy tales.
           G       G/B    Am
The cat is walkin' in the sun.

Interlude:

Am,

Am, G  G/B (x6)

Verse 3:

        G       G/B    Am             G      G/B     Am
All the pebbles I have seen; precious stones for Col-leen.
      G      G/B    Am                G       G/B        Am
Every minute I pass through, with the grooves spent with you.
           G       G/B    Am
The cat is yawning in the sun.

Verse 4:

         G       G/B    Am                G    G/B     Am
Jewelled castles I have built, with freak feel-ings of guilt.
        G          G/B    Am             G          G/B     Am
And the words stab to the hilt, pick the flower and it will wilt.
        G        G/B    Am
Cat's a-shifting in the sun.

Verse 5:

      G     G/B     Am            G      G/B Am
Mario-nette dangles dead, insensi-tivity is  fed.
       G  G/B      Am         G      G/B           Am
By the TV wizard's wand; once in the spell, you're conned.
        G       G/B    Am
Cat's a-smiling in the sun.

Verse 6:

        G        G/B    Am             G         G/B     Am
Cat's a-sleeping in the sun, eyes take heed; the colours call.
         G        G/B       Am            G      G/B      Am
Sunlight patterns touch the wall, red ker-chiefs sail and fall.
        G       G/B   Am
Cat's a-smiling it to me.

Outro:

Am, G  G/B (x10), Am
