The Cat And The Moon

A          G      A     G
There’s an inn of old renown
A          G      A
Where they brew a beer so brown
A         G       A        G
Moon came rolling down the hill
    A        G        E         
One Hevnsday night to drink his 
A
fill.

A                   D      G
On a three-stringed fiddle there
A                   G
Played the Ostler’s cat so fair
A                   D         G
The hornèd Cow that night was seen
   A            E       A
To dance a jig upon the green.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
E
Called by the fiddle to the
E
Middle of the muddle where the
A
Cow with a caper sent the
D         G
Small dog squealing.
E
Moon in a fuddle went to
E
Huddle by the griddle but he
A
Slipped in a puddle and the
G          D
World went reeling.

[Chorus]
A              D
Downsides went up- hey!
A             E
Outsides went wide.
A
As the fiddle
D
Played a twiddle
A                       E      A
And the Moon slept till Sterrenday.
A            D
Upsides went west- hey!
A               E
Broadsides went boom.
A
With a twiddle on the fiddle
       D
In the middle by the griddle
        A               E      A
And the Moon slept till Sterrenday.

[Verse 2]
A                 D       G
Dish from off the dresser pranced,
A                 D     G
Found a spoon and gaily danced.
A                  D             
Horses neighed and champed their 
G
bits
        A         G        E     
For the bloodshot Moon had lost 
   A
his wits.

      A                D          
Well, cow jumped over, Dog barked 
G
wild,
A                  D       G
Moon lay prone and sweetly smiled.
A                   D       G
Ostler cried, “Play faster, Cat!
        A              E          
Because we all want to dance like 
A
that.”

[Pre-Chorus 2]
E
Gambol and totter till you’re
E
Hotter than a hatter and you
A
Spin all akimbo
       D        G
Like a windmill flailing.
E
Whirl with a clatter till you
E
Scatter every cotter and the
A
Strings start a-pinging as the
G          D
World goes sailing.

[Chorus 2]
A            D
Downsides go up- hey!
A           E
Outsides go wide.
A
You can clatter
          D
With your platter
        A               E      A
But the Moon slept till Sterrenday.
A          D
Upsides go west- hey!
A             E
Broadsides go boom.
       A
With a batter and a clatter
        D
You can shatter every platter
        A    N.C             E A
But the Moon slept till Sterrenday.
