Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The[Em][C][Am]
[G]Indians send signals
from [Em]the rocks above the pass
The cow[C]boys take position [G]in the
[Am]bushes and the grass
[Eb]The squaw is with the corporal,
she is [Cm]tied against the tree
[Eb]She doesn't mind the language,
it's the [Cm]beating she don't need
[Eb]She lets loose all the horses
when the [C]corporal is asleep
And he [G]wakes to find the fire's
dead and [Em]arrows in his hats
And [C]Davy Crockett rides around
[F]and says it's cool for cats
It's cool [Em]for cats [Am](cool for
[G]cats)

[Verse 2]
The Sweeney's doing ninety 'cause
they've [Em]got the word to go
They [C]get a gang of villains in
[Am]a shed up at Heathrow
They're [Eb]counting out the fivers
when the [Cm]handcuffs lock [Eb]again
In and out of Wandsworth with
[Cm]the numbers on their names
It's [Eb]funny how their missus
always [C]look so bleeding same
And [G]meanwhile at the station there's
[Em]a couple of likely lads
[C]Who swear like, "How's your father?"
and they're [F]very cool for cats
They're cool [Em]for cats [Am](cool for [G]cats)

[Verse 3]
To change the mood a little I've
been [Em]posing down the pub
On see[C]ing my reflection,
I'm [Am]looking slightly rough
I [Eb]fancy this, I fancy that, I [Cm]wanna be so flash
I [Eb]give a little muscle and
[Cm]I spend a little cash
But [Eb]all I get is bitter and a [C]nasty little rash
And [G]by the time I'm sober I've
for[Em]gotten what I've had
And [C]everybody tells me that
it's [F]cool to be a cat
Cool for [Em]cats [Am](cool for[Em][Am][Eb][Bb][Em]
[Am][Em]
[G]
[Em]
[G][Em]
[Am][Em][Em][Em]
[Am]cats[G])

[Verse 4]
Shape up at the disco and [Em]I
think I've got a pull
I [C]ask her lots of questions and
she [Am]hangs on to the wall
I [Eb]kiss her for the first time and
[Cm]then I take her home
I'm in[Eb]vited in for coffee and
[Cm]I give the dog a bone
She [Eb]likes to go to discos but
she's [C]never on her own
[G]I said I'll see you later and
[Em]give her some old chat
But [C]it's not like that on the TV
[F]when it's cool for cats
It's cool for cat[Em]s (co[Am]ol for cats)
