Al Stewart - Year of the cat

On a ^Fmorning from a ^EmBogart ^Ammovie In a ^Fcountry where they ^Emturn back ^Amtime You go ^Fstrolling through the ^Emcrowd like ^AmPeter Lorre Contem^Dmplating a crime^G She comes ^Fout of the ^Gsun in a ^Amsilk dress running Like a ^Ewatercolor in the ^Frain Don't bother ^Easking for ^Amexplanations She'll just ^Dmtell you that she came^G In the year of the ^Fcat^{Em Am F Em Am F Em Am Dm G}

She ^Fdoesn't give you ^Emtime for ^Amquestions As she ^Flocks up your ^Emarm in ^Amhers And you ^Ffollow till your ^Emsense of ^Amwhich direction Comp^Dmletely disappears^G By the ^Fblue tiled ^Gwalls near the ^Ammarket stalls There's a ^Ehidden door she leads you ^Fto These days she ^Esays I ^Amfeel my life Just like a ^Dmriver running through^G The year of the ^Fcat^{Em Am F Em Am F Em Am Dm G}

Well she ^Elooks at you so ^Fcoolly And her ^Ceyes shine like the ^Gmoon in the sea She comes in ^Eincense and patc^Fhouli So you ^Ctake her to ^Bbfind what's ^Fwaiting in^Gside The year of the ^Fcat^{Em Am F Em Am F Em Am Dm G F Em Am F Em Am F Em Am Dm G}

Verse 3 ^{F Em Am F Em Am F Em Am Dm G} Well ^Fmorning comes and ^Emyou're still ^Amwith her And the ^Fbus and the ^Emtourists are ^Amgone And you've ^Fthrown away your ^Emchoice and ^Amlost your ticket So you ^Dmhave to stay on^G But the ^Fdrumbeat ^Gstrains of the ^Amnight remain In the ^Erhythm of the new born ^Fday You know ^Esometime you're ^Ambound to leave her But for ^Dmnow you're going to stay^G In the year of the ^Fcat^{Em Am F Em Am F Em Am Dm G} Mm year of the ^Fcat^{Em Am F Em Am F Em Am Dm G C F C F A Dm G}
