Verse 1:
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 a tree
She Eb doesn’t mind the language
it’s the Cm beating 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 dead and Em arrows in his hat
And C Davy Crockett rides around and F says it’s cool for cats
It’s cool for Em cats! (Cool for A cats!)
Verse 2:
The G Sweeney’s doing 90 ‘cause 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 looks the bleeding same
And G meanwhile at the station there’s a Em couple of likely lads
Who C swear like ‘how’s your father’ and they’re
F very cool for cats
It’s cool for Em cats! (Cool for A cats!)
Verse 3:
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 wanna 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
It’s cool for Em cats! (Cool for A cats!) A | A | A
Bridge:
Ad-libbed |: Em | Em | Em | Em 😐
Verse 4:
G Shake up at the disco and Em I think I’ve got a pull
I C ask her lots of questions and she Am hangs on to the wall
I Eb kiss her for the first time and Cm then I take her home
I’m in Eb vited in for coffee and I Cm give her 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 Em I 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 ca-a-a-ats! (Cool for A cats!)
