Bm          G             D 
Dear uncle sold her into, into the 
 A               G   D  A Bm 
purest kind of slavery. 
Bm                G          D 
Hood-eyed little middlemen profited from 
 A              G        D  A Bm 
damaged goods along the way. 
A             A                    G          A 
Good angels brought her back to a last Nepal summer. 
A         A                G            D 
Debased, hollow-faced, a smile might become her. 
Bm               G          D 
Now she's cosied up, cosied up and 
 A                G             D        A Bm 
comforted in the warm flush of September. 
A            A 
Gone before winter. 
A                A 
Wondering as to might-have-beens. 
A           A           Bb         A 
Somebody's daughter in sanctuary, waiting.

Bm            G              D 
Seen through softer case of kindness, 
 A                G     D   A Bm 
far and further still away, 
Bm              G                     D 
from time-warp Victorian zoos where staring 
A    G         D  A Bm 
ice cream gameboys play. 
A          A               G       A 
Big paws, word claws and swishing tails. 
      A       A            G      D 
More damaged goods in the market sails. 
Bm            G           D 
Too proud for anger, too late for 
 A       G         D      A Bm 
hate: resigned in dignity. 
A            A 
Gone before winter. 
A        A 
Purring might-have-beens. 
A           A         Bb        A 
Somebody's kitten in sanctuary, waiting.
