I flew around the world
F#m D
All the way from East Kentucky
Bm A
In a split pea shell
D A
I was chewing on a soda cracker
F#m D
She was chewing on some chewing tobacco
Bm A
In a split pea shell
[Chorus]
D F#
The moon's on fire, the bird's in a cage
G A
The dog's all bark yeah, the band don't play
D A Bm A G
Heaven knows this cruel little girl
D A D
Katie, Katie Cruel
[Verse]
D A
I've been feeling fine
F#m D
Ever since my execution
Bm A
Living in my own abyss
D A
Away from the miracle weapon
F#m D
Away from the revolution
Bm A
Waiting on a phantom's kiss
[Chorus]
D F#
The moon's on fire, the bird's in a cage
G A
The dog's all bark yeah, the band don't play
D F#
The yard's on fire, the inmates scream
G A
I'm leaving today up this split pea street
D A Bm A G
Heaven knows this cruel little girl
D A D
Katie, Katie Cruel

The moon's on fire, the wind's in the grave

The clocks are ticking, jump in place

The bells are ringing, a doll thinks back

The puppies roar, the planet's trashed
D A Bm A G
Heaven knows this cruel little girl

Heaven knows it's cruel

Katie is a a cruel little girl
