Verse
On a [CM7]morning from a [Bm]Bogart [Em]movie,
in a [CM7]country where they [Bm]turned back [Em]time
you go [CM7]strolling through the [Bm]crowd like [Em]Peter Lorre
contem[Am7]plating a crime.[D7]
She [CM7]comes out of the [Bm]sun in a [Em]silk dress
running like a [B7]water color in the [C]rain.
Don't bother [B7]asking for [Em]explanations.
She'll just [Am7]tell you that she came[D]
CM7(no5) D6add9/F# E(no3)[3x] Am7 Am7addG D7 D7sus4
in the Year of the Cat.
She [CM7]doesn't give you [Bm]time for [Em]questions
as she [CM7]locks up your [Bm]arm in [Em]hers.
And you [CM7]follow 'til your [Bm]sense of [Em]which direction
com[Am7]pletely disappears.[D7]
By the [CM7]blue-tiled [Bm]walls near the [Em]market stalls
there's a [B7]hidden door she leads you [C]to.
"These days," [B7]she says, "I [Em]feel my life
just like a [Am7]river running through[D]
CM7(no5) D6add9/F# E(no3) [3x] Am7 Am7addG D7 D7sus4
the Year of the Cat."
Bridge
Well she [B7]looks at you so [C]cooly
and her [G]eyes shine like the [D]moon in the sea.
She comes in in[B7]cense and path[C]chouli
so you [G]take her - to [F]find what's [C]waiting in[D]side
CM7(no5) D6add9/F# E(no3) [3x] Am7 Am7addG D7 D7sus4
the Year of the Cat.

Verse
Well [CM7]morning comes and [Bm]you're still with [Em]her
and the [CM7]bus and the [Bm]tourists are gone.[D7]
And you've [CM7]thrown away your [Bm]choice and [Em]lost your ticket
so you [Am7]have to stay on.[D7]
But the [CM7]drumbeat [Bm]strains of the [Em]night remain
in the [B7]rhythm of the newborn [C]day.
You know [B7]sometime you're [Em]bound to leave her
but for [Am7]now you're gonna stay[D]
