Morph The Cat

The intro and the first two verses can be played as the 
following as tabbed-which may require a certain degree 
of co-ordination, or the use of a sequencer to record 
the bass line. Throughout the verses it could be played
with the Em and Dm chords over a G bass..or simply with
just a G7 or G9 throughout ( as would be the case in most
commercially released sheet music.) And with any format 
such as this, it is recommended one initially play along
with the recording a few times 
in order to get the timing down.

small case letters above chord symbols 
indicate individual notes:
c4: middle C, and notes above in that octave...
c5: C above middle C
c3: C below middle C  etc.
numbers behind notes will only be indicated 
when notes enter another octave or begin a new line

High above Manhattan town 
What floats and has a shape like that 
Fans like us who watch the skies 
We know it's the Morph the Cat 

Gliding like a big blue cloud 
From Tomkins Square to Upper Broadway 
Beyond the park to Sugar Hill 
Stops a minute for latte' 

   Em7
He oozes down the heating duct 
Swims like seaweed down the hall 
He briefly digs your wiggy pad 
And seeps out through the wall

What exactly does he want 
This Rabelasian puff of smoke 
To make you feel all warm and cozy 
Like you heard a good joke 

Like you heard an Arlen tune 
Or bought yourself a crazy hat 
Like you had a Mango Cooler 
Ooh- Morph the Cat
