"THE CAT" (from the cd "CRISS" ep)
standard tuning
comments: This tune as far as I know is only availble on the Limited
Edition EP "CRISS". The cd only had 5 tracks. Among the 5 tracks, it
had a new acoustic version of "Beth". Peter started this band in the
early 90's. Later in 1995, Peter would be sued by Tony Nicole Tony
records for "breach of contract", when he reunited with KISS for the
reunion tours. This, I think is a very cool tune. Keep an eye on the
repeats, and the bass line is pretty much tabbed all the way through.
The bass sound is awesome. Enjoy!!

(CRISS, MONTAGUE, MILLER, STONE)
I was born a long time ago
Way down in the ghetto
I used a life in 68
Had a gun to my head, now there's 8.
But you know I really don't give a damn
Cause I got 7 more lives to spare. yeah yeah yeah
The Cats got 9 lives he do.
The Cats got 9 lives he do. ohh ooh ohh he do
I got real wild in 78
I didn't know if I'd make the gates
I met a witch in San Antone
I pulled my knife to her head and she left me alone.
So now I've got to count me lives day by day
But it really doesn't matter to me
I got 6 anyway
The Cats got 9 lives he do.
The Cats got 9 lives he do.
The Cats got 9 lives he do.
The Cats got 9 lives he do.
(solo)
Mary, Mary quite contrary
How does your garden grow baby
With silver bells and cotton shells
Who knows whatever else.
Eniy meany miny moe, catch a monkey by the toe.
Listen to this one now,
Gene and Paul went up a hill to fetch a pail of water.
Gene fell down and broke his crown and Paul came tumbling over yeah
oh yeah oh yeah yeah yeah yeah.
The Cats got 9 lives he do.
The Cats got 9 lives he do. 1,2,3,4
The Cats got 9 lives he do. one more time
The Cats got 9 lives he do.
