	Am	C	Am
	It's a hanging d	ay, in Wolfcity	(?), Wyoming,

	C	F	C
in	Wolfcity, Wyoming, in	189	4

	G
There's gonna d	rop Cat Balou

(silence) C

Right through the gallows floor

	Am	C
Well she	killed a man in	Wolfcity, Wyoming,

	C
In	Wolfcity, Wyoming

	F	C
She	killed a man, it's	true

	G
And that is	why they're hanging

(silence) C

They're hanging Cat Balou

	C
She has the s	mile of an angel

	Am
She f	ights like the devil

	F	G
The	eyes of an	angel

	F	G
She	fights like	the devil

	C
The	face of an angel

	Am
I sa	y she's the devil

	G	C
She's m	ean and evil through and t	hrough

	G	C
Cat Ballou	, Cat Ballou

	G	C
She's me	an and evil through and t	hrough

	Am
Then there	came to town

	C	C
A g	un deadly and frig	htening

	C	C
A g	un quicker than li	ghtning

	F	C
The f	astest gun you've	seen

G (silence)

It was the gun in the hand of

	C
Steely Kitchelean (???)

	Am
Just one l	ook at him

	C	C
And f	olks starting to s	hake

	C	C
Wi	ld, wild as a s	nake

	F	C
Pr	oud and fierce and m	ean

G (silence)

There was no man who was tougher

	C
As tough as Kitchelean

	C
He had the e	yes of a killer

	Am
As c	old as the devil

	F	G
The l	ook of a k	iller

	F	G
The l	ook of the	devil

	C
The f	ace of a killer

	Am
That	man was the devil

	G	C
Just w	ild and ornery and m	ean

	G	C
Kitchelean	, Kitchele	an

	G	C
The fas	test gun you've ever se	en

(repeat the same chords as before)

Then she road away

Just to where now was a mystery

But Cat roamed into history

Lent (?) her legend rule

She was the queen of the outlaws

Her highness Cat Balou

Cat Balou, Cat Balou

And now the story is all through

Cat Balou, Cat Balou

Say farewell to Cat Balou
