Many thanks to all that came along last night

Hope to see all you others soon

You've all done very well

Here's that song I warbled last night

The Tuba Cat - (who was too butch and got thrown out of the local brass band)

There lived a /cat who /loved to /play              C           G        F        G
The /tuba /every /satur/day                      C         Am        F        G
While /other /cats would /mind their /ways    C    G        F        G
This /cat was /forced /to say                      C           F        C

Chorus
Oh, why don't they /love me /so                      G           F        C
I play so well, when I /play /solo            G           F        C
But the cat was too /butch                       C           Am
And the band said /no                              Am        G
So the cat played /on his /own                      F           G        C

The tuba /cat en/joys a good/ fight              C           G        F        G
Drinking and /farting /all the /night              C         Am        F        G
Talking about /football and /motorbikes              C           G        F        G
But the /band said, /that's not right              C           F        C

Chorus
Oh, why don't they /love me /so                      G           F        C
I play so well, when I /play /solo              G           F        C
But the cat was too /butch                      C           Am
And the band said /no                              Am        G
So the cat played /on his /own                      F           G        C

I've been thrown /out of the /local brass /band           C        G    F   G
They tell me it's /time to /make a /stand           C        Am   F        G
Your type of /cat is /not the right /brand           C        G    F        G
It's /hard to under/stand                           C        F        C

Chorus
Oh, why don't they /love me /so                      G           F        C
I play so well, when I /play /solo              G           F        C
But the cat was too /butch                      C           Am
And the band said /no                              Am        G
So the cat played /on his /own                      F           G        C
