The Cat Empire – Lullaby chords
Chords:
In the song, Felix sings in a very loose, free style. Due to this it's hard to place exactly where you change the chord just by looking at the words here- but as long as you know the beat, you'll be fine. The second verse and chorus have the same chord pattern as the first verse and chorus. The final chorus is the same again, except with a key change. Also, in the first verse there is a bit where there is no music, just words. At these points, I've put the chords in brackets. They are optional. I've left out the instrumental trumpet solo chords. Sorry if the lyrics are wrong- I copied it straight from another website without checking first. My bad! ------------------------------- Intro:F# C# G#m C#I cannot say ‘oh sweetness’F# C# G#m C#like he couldF# C# G#mcause I cannot play a lullabyC# F# C# G#m C#like it shouldF# G#m C# x2 Verses:F#I used to cry but now I have to laughG#mbecause she’s got that tormentC#to a fine artF#smart like a foxyG#m and craf-ty-as-a-cat i’m looking up as i’m lying on my backF#bite the beastif i want a big piece of the pieG#mbut she’s taken the feastC#in the blink of an eyeF#I can-not-jus-ti-fywhat’s going onG#m- it feels so rightC#when it seems so wrongF#like a plot hatchedin the sweet spot of that trap (G#m) - ask what she’s schemes(C#)she say ‘oh this and that’(F#)then she snaps like a camerain black with a flash (G#m) puts the drum in the drama(C#)the hand in the clapF#she’s a map with no bearingsattached - noG#msafety-in-this-matchC#fire you can’t catchF#then zap I was struck by thatbolt before dawnG#mthen by breakfast honeyC#we was signed and swornG#m A#m B C#F# C#I’ll give you all night movie marathonG#m C# F# C#G#m C#and a triple expresso so you can stay awakeF#it might be late - butC# G#mit’s never too late for that lovinC# F# C# G#m C#my sexy babeF# C#something always telling meG#m C#‘save prayers before dawn’F# C#cos what happens when I’m with youG#m C#makes me shake my head then smile and yawnF# C#I’m worn out but I’m beamingG#m C#and it seems that we are dreamyF# C# G#m C#as we head out through that strange old morning door(Verse Two) (Chorus Two) Key change sequence: Cm Dm Bb Eb F Final Chorus: up 4 semitones F# becomes Bb C# becomes F G#m becomes Cm Outro: Bb Eb/F F
