1º Verso:
     C7+          Bm7       Em
On a morning from a Bogart movie
     C7+              Bm7           Em
in a country where they turned back time
       C7+                  Bm7     Em
you go strolling through the crowd like
                    Am7           D7
Peter Lorre contemplating a crime.
          C7+       Bm7          Em
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress
               B                  C
running like a water color in the rain.
             B         Em
Don't bother asking for explanations.
            Am7                    D
She'll just tell you that she came
                   C7+  D  Em  (3x)  Am7   D7
in the Year of the Cat.
2º Verso:
    C7+            Bm7           Em
She doesn't give you time for questions
       C7+        Bm7         Em
as she locks up you arm in hers.
        C7+            Bm7       Em
And you follow 'til your sense of
                   Am7                 D7
which direction completely disappears.
       C7+       Bm7            Em
By the blue-tiled walls near the market stalls
          B                         C
there's a hidden door she leads you to.
                  B       Em
"These days," she says, "I feel my life just
       Am7                   D7
like a river running through
                  C7+  D  Em  (3x)  Am7   D7
the Year of the Cat.
         B                 C
Well she looks at you so cooly
        G                   D
and her eyes shine like the moon
in the sea.
             B                 C
She comes in incense and pathchouli
       G           F
so you take her to find what's
C/E            D
waiting inside
          [(C7+  D  Em)  (3x)  Am7 D7] [2X]

3º Verso:
     C7+            Bm7                Em
Well morning comes and you're still with her
        C7+          Bm7        Em
and the bus and the tourists are gone.
            C7+             Bm7        Em
And you've thrown away your choice and
                        Am7              D7
lost your ticket so you have to stay on.
         C7+         Bm7             Em
But the drumbeat strains of the night
              B                     C
remain in the rhythm of the newborn day.
              B         Em
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
        Am7                   D
but for now you're gonna stay
                    C7+  D  Em  (3x)  Am7   D7
in the Year of the Cat.
