Verse
CM7 Bm Em
On a morning from a Bogart movie,
CM7 Bm Em
in a country where they turned back time
CM7 Bm Em
you go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Am7 D7
contemplating a crime.
CM7 Bm Em
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress
B7 C
running like a ,water color in the rain.
B7 Em
Don't bother asking for explanations.
Am7 D
She'll just tell you that she came
CM7 D6add9/F# Em[3x] Am7 D7 D7sus
in the Year of the Cat.
CM7 Bm Em
She doesn't give you time for questions
CM7 Bm Em
as she locks up your arm in hers.
CM7 Bm Em
And you follow 'til your sense of which direction
Am7 D7
completely disappears.
CM7 Bm Em
By the blue-tiled walls near the market stalls
B7 C
there's a hidden door she leads you to.
B7 Em
"These days," she says, "I feel my life
Am7 D
just like a river running through
CM7 D6add9/F# Em [3x] Am7 D7 D7sus
the Year of the Cat."
Bridge
B7 C
Well she looks at you so cooly
G D
and her eyes shine like the moon in the sea.
B7 C
She comes in incense and pathchouli
G F C D
so you take her - to find what's waiting inside
CM7(no5) D6add9/F# E(no3) [3x] Am7 Am7addG D7 D7sus
the Year of the Cat.

Verse
CM7 Bm Em
Well morning comes and you're still with her
CM7 Bm D7
and the bus and the tourists are gone.
CM7 Bm Em
And you've thrown away your choice and lost your ticket
Am7 D7
so you have to stay on.
CM7 Bm Em
But the drumbeat strains of the night remain
B7 C
in the rhythm of the newborn day.
B7 Em
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
Am7 D
but for now you're gonna stay
CM7 D6add9/F# Em [3x] Am7 D7 D7sus4
in the Year of the Cat.
