E [Verse] E I confess that I killed the cat B That cat was speckled and fat F# It was an angry cat A But I thought it was laughing [Verse] E I confess that I hit my brother B Then I trapped my mother F# And then I struck my sister A Her nose was bleeding [Verse] E I confessed to the priest one day B He said undress your soul and go away F# I undressed and what did he say A He started his laughing [Verse] E I recall a big black bird B Flapping his wings B F# The sound was heard over the town F# As he pounced on me A I wasn't breathing [Chorus] F# E I did it, I said it, I did it, I said it all the time F# E I did it, I said it, I did it, I said it all the time [Verse] E I've cried a million tears B I've been crying through the years F# Too many wines and too much beer A I'm feeling dozy [Verse] E I know that I'm not the one B I'm a rebel and a rebel is alone F# Wherever you go you'll find the same A They're always breeding [Verse] E And you reach out and you say that you're mine B You make me much better B And I'm waiting on time F# For the time come when I feel like you A So optimistic [Verse] E I confess I killed the cat B That cat was speckled and fat F# Oh it was an angry cat A It was laughing [Chorus] F# E I did it, I said it, I did it, I said it all the time F# E I did it, I said it, I did it, I said it all the time
