_ old black cat, he passed away [Eb] this morning [Bbm] He [Eb] never knew what [Bbm] a hard [C] day [Bbm] was
_ Woke up late and he [Eb] doesn't stunt [Bbm] in rooves If questioned, why?
Answered, [C] just because _ [Gb] He never spoke much, _ [Db] preferring [C] silence
[Gb] Eight last lives was all [Ab] he had [Gb] _ Occasionally sneaked some [Bbm] [Ab] Sunday [Db] [C] dinner
[Gb] He wasn't good and he [Ab] wasn't bad

My old black cat wasn't much [Eb] of a looker [Bbm] You could pass him by, [Eb] just [Bbm] a quiet [C] [Bbm] shadow
Got pushed around by all [Eb] the other [Bbm] little guys Didn't seem to mind much, [Eb] just the way [C] life [Bb] goes
[Gb] Had it about in [Bbm] furry [Ab] _
[Db] [Gb] slippers Didn't make any special [Ab]
friends
[C] [Gb] He played it cool with [Bbm] [Ab] wide-eyed [Db] [C] innocence [Gb] Receiving gladly what the good [Ab] Lord sends
