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.

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