Intro: C7+ D Em 3x
Am7 D7
C7+ Bm Em
On a morning from a Bogart movie
C7+ Bm Em
in a country where they turned back time
C7+ Bm Em
you go strolling through the crowd like
Am7 D7
Peter Lorre contemplating a crime.
C7+ Bm 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
in the Year of the Cat.
INSTRUMENTAL (INTRO)
C7+ Bm Em
She doesn't give you time for questions
C7+ Bm Em
as she locks up you arm in hers.
C7+ Bm Em
And you follow 'til your sense of
Am7 D7
which direction completely disappears.
C7+ Bm 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 D
like a river running through
the Year of the Cat."
INSTRUMENTAL (INTRO)
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
the Year of the Cat.
INSTRUMENTAL
C7+ Bm Em
Well morning comes and you're still with her
C7+ Bm Em
and the bus and the tourists are gone.
C7+ Bm Em
And you've thrown away your choice and
Am7 D7
lost your ticket so you have to stay on.
C7+ Bm 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
in the Year of the Cat.
INSTRUMENTAL and fade
