[Intro] Cm G [Verse 1]
Cm The black cat Gfirecracker Cmsnapped back Gbaseball cappin' CmCola-cola Gsippin' on the Cmsuds wearing Gpenny loafers. His CmSunday best Gain't good enough forCm the rest of the Gworld. F Yet, he Gstands in line and Fwaits on his Cmturn. G Cm G The Cmcomplex, Gdisconfigured Cmman, unasGsociated, Cm G Cm G F` Agitated with the careful investigator taking notes. He slowly tiptoes Cmtowards the dark. G
[Chorus]
AbWatercolor sunset Cmpainted before his eyes. The Abgateway has been opened, to the Gwonders of his mind. AbHe was a non-believer, Cmnow without a doubt. He Ablooks up at the clouds, the chemical Gswirls fading in and out.
Cm G Cm G [Verse 2]
The Cmpeacekeeper Gdrafted into Cmwar, with a Gloaded rifle. CmUnaware of Gconsequences Cmcold war ended Gwith a spaceship Cmhas kind of Gshakers. He has Cmbeen programmed Gto believe a Flie. Yet, he stands there with a gun on the Cmfront line.
[Chorus]
AbBlood red color sunset, Cmpainted before his eyes. The Abveil has been lifted, as he Gwatches his friends drop like flies. Ab He was a non-believer, Cmnow without a doubt. He Ablooks down at his paws, the guts he Ghad spluttered on the ground.
Yeah, Abyeah! Yeah, Gyeah! Yeah, Abyeah! Yeah, Gyeah!
[Verse 3]
The family Ggot the letter, it was aCm message, clear and true. The Abhero, he had fallen, for the Cmred, white, and blue. Ab He was a non-believer, Cmnow without a doubt. His Abbody lays six feet under the ground. The Gblack cat's nine lives, they ran out.
