Verse
[C#]I can't see you but I know you're there
[C#]Got to get beside you cos it's [B6/C#]really cold out here
[C#]Come up close to me you'll soon be warm
[C#]Hold me tightly like we're [B6/C#]sheltering from a storm[C#]
[B6/C#]Aaah, [A6/B]aaah, [B6/C#]aaah, [A6/B]aaah
[C] [D]
Pre-Chorus
[F#m]Think I might go out for a stroll
[Bm]Into the night, and out of this hole
Maybe find me a [C#m]meal
[F#m]Walking along this new shag pile
[Bm]Presents a problem all the while
Nearly the [C#m]door
Chorus
[C] [Em/B] [Am][G]Suddenly he [Am]bumps into wood, the door is closed
A [Am]voice from the bed, he'll be exposed
[G#]Which way to run, must make for the hole
The [Fm7]light's been turned on, he's blind as a mole in[G] coal[Em]
[Eb]Now I can see they're coming at me
They've blocked off my door, I haven't a chance in[D] hell[D6]
Verse
[C#]Come on baby let the poor thing go
[C#]I'm not sleeping with that [B6/C#]thing around here, no
[C#]Alright then, I'll fetch a box from below
[C#]Guard him carefully, they're [B6/C#]very quick you know[C#]
[B6/C#]Aaah, [A6/B]aaah, [B6/C#]aaah, [A6/B]aaah
[C] [D]
Pre-Chorus
The [F#m]door's been opened, my chance to escape
[Bm]Must run out quick, better sorry than late
I'm out on the [C#m]stairs
They [F#m]won't catch me now, I've the run of the house now
I'll [Bm]make it downstairs and into the breadbin
That would be [C#m]nice
Chorus
[C] [Em/B] [Am][G]Suddenly he [Am]bumps into fur, that's very unwise
A [Am]cat is much quicker than men and their eyes
The [G#]chase that ensues can have only one end
[Fm7]Unless outside help steps in for our friend in[G] need[Em]
[Eb]But now the cat comes in for the kill
His paw is raised, soon blood will spill, [D]yes it will[D6]
Verse
[C#]Hard luck mouse, this is the end of your road
The [C#]signpost says inside me, let me [B6/C#]bear your heavy load
[C#]But it's not to be, that final pounce
[C#]Knocks a jar upon his [B6/C#]head, and lays him out[C#]
[B6/C#]Aaah, [A6/B]aaah, [B6/C#]aaah, [A6/B]aaah
[C] [D]
Bridge
[C]But [D]it's [G#]all in a [F]mouse's [G]night
To take [G#]on all [F]those who'd [G]fight
Outro
[C]There I [F]was with my [Bb]back to the [C]wall
[C]Then comes this [F]monster mouse, he's [Bb]ten feet [Eb]tall
With [G#maj7]teeth and [C#maj7]claws to [F#]match[Ebdim7]
It only took one [G7]blow
