They say cats have 9 lives

That is an old thought, Egyptian Gods

Shakespeare wrote of them in Romeo and Juliet
Dm A2 Gsus
There resilience and dexterity deified
[Verse 2]

An anchient proverb: A cat has nine lives.

For three he plays,
Dm Em
for three he strays
Dm G Gsus
and for the last three he stays
[Verse 3]
Dm A2 Em
But what about dogs, only one

There are no stories of dogs with extra lives
Dm Em Dm
Until now, I have a story to tell
Dm G Gsus
The three Lives of my 4 pawed shadow
[Verse 4]

The first year of separation

Dm Am G Gsus
Jane and I together in our print businesses
[Verse 5]
Dm A2 Em
Our shop next to TLU across Court Street
Dm A2 Em
One day I walked to TLU for business
Dm A2 Em
Shadow and I often walked that campus for pleasure
Dm G Gsus
This time me alone
[Verse 6]
Dm A2 Em
AS I was walking back he bolted out the door
Dm A2 Em
Making a bee line for me
Dm A2 G Gsus
In the middle of Court Street he and a SUV met
Dm A2 Em
Shadow going 15 the SUV 45
[Verse 7]
Dm A2 G Gsus
He rolled underneath came up sitting on his butt
Dm A2 G Gsus
Thought he was crippled, Looked at me , looked back
Dm A2 Em
Got up and quickly retreated to the shop
Dm G
SUV just kept going
[Verse 8]
G Dm A2 Em
Got inside Shadow sitting trembling in a pool of pee
G Em D2
I thought he was a dead dog
G Em D2 Dm
Put him in the Sports car off to Dr Grantham, A fast drive
Dm A2 Em
A couple of scrapes he was fine
[Verse 9]
G Gsus
Two months later Thanksgiving
G Gsus
I have them all over to the house
G Gsus
Even the ones not in my family
G Gsus Dm
I cooked a huge meal, it was a disaster
[Verse 10]
Dm A2 Em
Monday morning Shadow pooping and throwing up blood
Dm A2 Em
Took him to the vet, pancreatitis it was bad
Dm G Gsus
Think lapped up the Turkey deep fat fry
G Gsus A2 Dm
3 solemn days at the vet he came home, weak but just fine
[Verse 11]
Dm A2 Em
Finally New Year’s Eve, alone
Dm G Gsus
A broken Christmas, Mike Jane on a biker ride to Arizona
G Gsus G F#m
Kenneth with friends, No one there I decided to get drunk
G Gsus
Woke up about eight on the couch
[Verse 12]
G Gsus
One problem my shadow was not there
G Gsus
Tried to remember did I let him out and forget
G Gsus
He never strays; I was frantic when through the whole house calling
G Gsus
Then outside John Mike come help
[Verse 13]
Dm A2 Em
By eleven I stopped going to Sam’s to get Compacter bags
Dm A2 Em Dm Em
Noting else to do, In the study I heard a thumping
Dm A2 Em Dm
That familiar rhythm, shadow tail wagging in the closet
Dm A2 F#m
Hiding behind the closed bifold doors
[Verse 14]
Dm A2 Em
He hated fireworks always came to me for comfort
[Verse 1]
Dm A2 Em
Last night drunk on the couch I was none
Dm A2 Em
He and I went to Sam’s got 5 boxes of those compactor bags
Dm A2 Em
Never went there again
[Verse 15]
Dm A2 Em
A ponding head, a dreadful morning God had taught me a lesson
Dm A2 Em
When it seemed all I had was gone, it was not
Dm A2 Em
Shadow he took and saved three times
Dm A2 Em
Without shadow I never would have made the first few years
[Verse 16]
Dm A2 Em
God is sovereign, something we say
Dm A2 Em
Not something we really understand
Dm A2 G Gsus
He is in charge of everything there is no such thing as serendipity
Dm A2 Em F#m
That just Jesus part of all, always there His loving hand
[Verse 17]
Dm A2 Em
He often uses evil or a bad things to get our attention
Dm A2 Em
Took 3 times but He finally got mine
Dm A2 Em
Be thankful for all you have even when you think all is lost
Dm A2 F#m
It is not, Jesus always there taking care of us
[Verse 18]
F#m Dm A2 Em
In ways few understand, life is not all good
Dm A2 Em
The bad even under his rule
Dm A2 Em
All for a simple reason
Dm A2 Em F#m
He wants us to Love Him as He loves us.
[Outro]
Dm A2 Em
Shadow had three lives more if needed to get my attention.
Dm A2 Em G Gsus
Jesus loving rule always there perceived by few
Dm A2 Em G Gsus
Jesus loving rule always there perceived by few
G Gsus
Think about it
