THE MEERCATS
DEAD THINGS
VERSE ONE: G/C/Am/Am  
Dead cat lying in my backyard
Dead cat lying in my backyard
Looks like he's been dead awhile
Looks like he's been dead awile
Now pick him up, put him in a bag
Then in a big box, it makes me sad
But it looks like he's been dead awhile
CHORUS G/C/Am/D  
Dead things, in my backyard
Dead things, can't go too far
Dead things, in m backyard
VERSE TWO G/C/Am/Am  
Dead cat lying in a bag
Dead cat lying in a bag
Dead cat lying in a bag, in a box, in my hands
And it looks like he's been dead awhile
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE THREE G/C/Am/Am  
Dead cat lying in my backyard
Dead things lying in my backyard
Dead cat lying in my backyard
Dead things can't go too far
Dead things can't go too far
