Alright, so the song is originally in the key of G, using the chords G, C, and F.
that order. I have tabbed the song 3 steps higher, in the key of A using the chords A, F#m,
E. This is because I like to sing along (I'm a girl with a voice naturally higher than
original key), and I don't have a capo at the moment. To play it in the original key,
substitute the chords in the order above. Hope it isn't too confusing! Play well and
love. This is a great song.

I knew a woman once
giving birth to kittens and mice
and as you know their eating habits
Those poor mice had to die
so the kittens were born
full of their brothers and sisters
And they were punished swiftly
though they did not know why
They thought they were food
they did not know what they'd done
And I was a person once
sending off unread letters
receiving no reply
never bothering asking why
I had a heart once
full of fire and passion
but the summer took it away from me
And autumn has come to retrieve it
autumn has come to retrieve it
And I was a man once
When I was six-years-old
but now I am just a boy
pretentious and brash and bold
The kittens were murdered
thrown into burlap sacks
and weighted down with rocks
in a river deep and black
And they went to Heaven.
They went to Heaven.
