The ^GIndians send signals, ^G/F#from the ^Emrocks above the pass, ^Em/D The ^Ccowboys take position ^C/Bin the ^Ambushes and the grass, The ^Ebsquaw is with the Corporal, she is ^Cmtied against a tree, She ^Ebdoesn't mind the language, it's the ^Cmbeating she don't need, She ^Eblets loose all the horses when the ^CCorporal is asleep, And he^G wakes to find the fire's ^G/F#dead, and ^Emarrows in his hat, ^Em/D And ^CDavy Crockett rides around and ^Fsays, "It's cool for cats, It's cool for ^Emcats---!" ^A (Cool-----for cats!)

[Verse 2]

The ^GSweeney's doing 90, '^G/F#cause they've ^Emgot the word to go, ^Em/D They ^Cget a gang of villains ^C/Bin a ^Amshed, up at Heathrow, They're ^Ebcounting out the fivers, when the ^Cmhandcuffs lock again, ^EbIn and out of Wandsworth, with the ^Cmnumbers on their names, It's ^Ebfunny how their missus' always ^Clooks the bleeding same, And ^Gmeanwhile, at the station ^G/F#there's a ^Emcouple of likely lads, ^Em/D Who ^Cswear like 'how's your father', and they're ^Fvery cool for cats, They're cool for ^Emcats---! ^A (Cool---- for cats!)

[Verse 3]

To ^Gchange the mood a little ^G/F#I've been ^Emposing down the pub, ^Em/D On ^Cseeing my reflection, ^C/B I'm ^Amlooking slightly rough, I ^Ebfancy this, I fancy that, I ^Cmwanna be so flash, I ^Ebgive a little muscle, and I ^Cmspend a little cash, But ^Eball I get is bitter, and a ^Cnasty little rash, And, ^Gby the time I'm sober, ^G/F#I've for - ^Emgotten what I've had, ^Em/D And ^Ceverybody tells me that it's ^Fcool to be a cat, Cool for ^Emcats----! ^A (Cool---- for cats!)

^GShake up at the disco, ^G/F#and I ^Emthink I've got a pull, ^Em/D I ^Cask her lots of questions, ^C/Band she ^Amhangs on to the wall, I ^Ebkiss her for the first time, and ^Cmthen I take her home, I'm in - ^Ebvited in for coffee, and I ^Cmgive the dog a bone, She ^Eblikes to go to discos, but she's ^Cnever on her own, I ^Gsaid, 'I'll see you later!', ^G/F#and I ^Emgive her some old chat, ^Em/D But ^Cit's not like that on the TV, ^Fwhen it's cool for cats, It's cool for ^Emcats---! ^A (Cool---- for cats!)
