Here Kitty Kitty

[Intro ]
Am    E7    Am 


 
Am                                Dm 
Long ago there lived a man named Daniel 
Am                                   E 
Known throughout the land for being wise 
       Am                         Dm 
Placed in a foreign country as a governor 
       Am               E             Am     E 
'Cause God knew Daniel wouldn't compromise 
 

 
Am                           Dm 
Also in this land were many princes 
          Am                              E 
Who knew Daniel was the favorite of the king 
      Am                                Dm 
They tried to find a fault or two that this man had 
     Am           E            Am 
But Daniel never failed at anything 
 

 
      Dm                                 Am 
There had to be some way that they could get him 
      Dm                                Am 
They watched him as he prayed three times a day 
      Dm                      E     Am 
They plotted and they planned, then to the palace ran 
     Dm                              E 
And King Darius heard those princes say 
 

 
    Am                                    Dm 
Oh king, we've all been talking you're a righteous dude 
     E                              Am 
Why don't we take a month or so to worship you? 
                                     Dm 
And if someone finds another God to pray to, then 
      Am                E              Am            F 
We'll let him spend an evening in the lions' den 
 

 
    Bbm 
The king was very flattered 
     Ebm 
His crown got way too tight 
  Bbm                                 F 
Before he knew it, he'd signed the decree 
          Bbm 
But when Daniel heard about the law 
    Ebm 
He didn't change his life at all 
      Bbm              F             Bbm 
Just knelt to pray so everyone could see 
 

 
Bbm 
And when they saw Dan praying 
          F 
They knew he would soon be dead 
    Bbm 
But when they threw him to the lions 
Ebm              Ab 
This is what he said 
 

 
Db 
Here kitty kitty (Here kitty kitty) 
        B                         Gb 
Let me pet your mane; aren't you glad I came? 
     Db 
Oh, here kitty kitty (Here kitty kitty) 
         B                Gb       Ab 
Looking hungry there, but I don't care 
    Bbm                    Fm 
I'm not gonna fear with my God right here 
          Gb                       Db 
And He's keeping your mouths shut tight 
Ebm                  Bbm 
Oh what a pity, you great big kitties 
       F7          F      Bbm 
Ain't gonna get a meal tonight 
 

 
Bbm 
The king could hardly sleep that night 
   Ebm 
He knew what he'd done wasn't right 
Bbm                          F 
Why had he been overcome by pride? 
   Bbm 
So in the morning, he arose 
Ebm 
Hurriedly threw on his clothes 
     Bbm              F              Bbm       F# 
Went down beside the den and called inside 
 

 
    Bm 
Oh Daniel, are you still awake? 
    Em 
Or have I made a great mistake? 
Bm                                  F# 
Can you tell me please? I've gotta know 
      Bm 
Then Daniel called up from the den 
      Em 
Your catfood I have never been 
    Bm                F#         Bm 
For my God's with me everywhere I go 
 

 
Bm 
And if you make another law 
      F# 
That says that I can't pray 
     Bm 
I'll see my friends down here again 
     Em              A 
And once again I'll say 
 

 
D 
Here kitty kitty (Here kitty kitty) 
        C                         G 
Let me pet your mane; aren't you glad I came? 
     D 
Oh, here kitty kitty (Here kitty kitty) 
         C                 G       A 
Looking hungry there, but I don't care 
    Bm                     F#m 
I'm not gonna fear with my God right here 
          G                        D 
And He's keeping your mouths shut tight 
Em                   Bm 
Oh what a pity, you great big kitties 
       F#7         F#     Bm 
Ain't gonna get a meal tonight 
 

Outro 
Em                   Bm 
Oh what a pity, you great big kitties 
       F#7         F#     Bm 
Ain't gonna get a meal tonight 

Em  F#  Bm
