Intro: [G] [Em] [C] [Am]


The [G] Indians send signals from the [Em] rocks above the pass 
The [C] cowboys take position in the [Am] bushes and the grass 
The [Eb] squaw is with the corporal she is [Cm] tied against the tree 
She [Eb] doesn't mind the language it's the [Cm] beatings she don't need 
She [Eb] lets loose all the horses when the [C] corporal is asleep 
And he [G] wakes to find the fire's out and [Em] arrows in his hats 
And [C] Davey Crocket rides around and [F] says it's cool for cats 
It’s cool for [Em] cats (cool for [Am] cats) x2


The [G] Sweeney's doing ninety cos they've [Em] got the word to go 
They [C] get a gang of villains in a [Am] shed up at Heathrow 
They're [Eb] counting out the fivers when the [Cm] handcuffs lock again 
[Eb] In and out of Wandsworth with the [Cm] numbers on their names 
It's [Eb] funny how their missus always [C] look the bleeding same  
And [G] meanwhile at the station there's a [Em] couple of likely lads 
Who swear [C] like how's your father and they're [F] very cool for cats 
They’re cool for [Em] cats (cool for [Am] cats) x2


To [G] change the mood a little I've been [Em] posing down the pub 
On [C] seeing my reflection I'm [Am] looking slightly rough 
I [Eb] fancy this I fancy that I [Cm] want to be so flash 
I [Eb] give a little muscle and I [Cm] spend a little cash 
But [Eb] all I get is bitter and a [C] nasty little rash 
And [G] by the time I'm sober I've for[Em]gotten what I've had 
And [C] everybody tells me that it's [F] cool to be a cat 
Cool for [Em] cats (cool for [Am] cats) x2


[G] Shake up at the disco and I [Em] think I've got a pull 
I [C] ask her lots of questions as she [Am] hangs on to the wall 
I [Eb] kiss her for the first time and [Cm] then I take her home 
I'm [Eb]invited in for coffee and I [Cm] give the dog a bone 
She [Eb] likes to go to discos but she's [C] never on her own 
I [G] said I'll see you later and I [Em] give her some old chat 
But [C] it's not like that on the TV [F] when it's cool for cats 
It’s cool for [Em] cats (cool for [Am] cats) x2
[Em] cool for [Am] cats [G]!
