Intro
Cmaj7 D Em (x3) Am7 D7
Verse
On a Cmaj7morning from a BmBogart Emmovie
In a Cmaj7country where they Bmturned back Emtime
You go Cmaj7strolling through Bmthe crowd Emlike
Peter Lorre Am7contemplating a D7crime.
She comes Cmaj7out of the Bmsun in a silk Emdress
Running like a Bwater color in the Crain.
Don't bother Basking for Emexplanations.
She'll just Am7tell you that she Dcame
In the Year of the Cat.
Cmaj7 D Em Am7 D7 (x3)
Verse
She Cmaj7doesn't give you Bmtime for Emquestions
As she Cmaj7locks up Bmyour arm in Emhers.
And you Cmaj7follow 'til Bmyour sense Emof
Which direction Am7completely D7disappears.
By the Cmaj7blue-tiled Bmwalls near the Emmarket stalls
There's a Bhidden door she leads Cyou to.
"These days," Bshe says, "I Emfeel my life just
Like a Am7river running Dthrough
The Year of the Cat."
Cmaj7 D Em Am7 D7 (x3)
Bridge
Well she Blooks at you so Ccooly
And her Geyes shine like the Dmoon in the sea.
She comes in Bincense and Cpatchouli
So you Gtake her to Ffind what's Cwaiting Dinside
The Year of the Cat.
Verse
Well Cmaj7morning comes and Bmyou're still with Emher
And the Cmaj7bus and the Bmtourists are Emgone.
And you've Cmaj7thrown away Bmyour choice Emand
Lost your ticket Am7so you have to stay D7on.
But the Cmaj7drumbeat Bmstrains of the Emnight
Remain in the Brhythm of the newborn Cday.
You know Bsometime you're Embound to leave her
But for Am7now you're gonna Dstay
In the Year of the Cat.
