Mean Eyed Cat Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I give my [D]woman half my
money at the general store
I said, now buy a little groceries,
and [A]don't spend no more
But she [D]paid ten dollars for a ten- cent hat
And bought [G]some store- bought cat

[Verse 2]
food for a mean- eyed cat
[A]When I give her ten more dollars for a
one- way ticket
[D]She was mad as could be
Then I bet ten more that if
she ever left
She'd come a- crawlin' back to me

[Verse 3]
When [D]I woke up this mornin'
and I turned my head
There wasn't a cotton- pickin'
thing [A]on her side of the bed
I [D]found a little note where
her head belonged
It said, [G]dear John, honey,
baby, [A]I'm long gone
[D]

[Verse 4]
When [G]I heard a whistle blowin',
and the big wheels a- turnin'
I [D]was scared as I could be
I put on my overalls and I
[G]headed for town
Gonna [A]bring her back with me
[D]

[Verse 5]
I asked the man down at the station
if he'd seen her there
I told him all about her pretty eyes and [A]long,
blonde hair
[D]He spit his tobacco, said, I'll be dad- blamed
I believe [G]I did see her leavin'
on the [A]Eastbound train
[D]

[Verse 6]
I bought [G]a round- trip ticket
on the Eastbound train
I was [D]broke as I could be
But when I come back,
I gotta [G]buy another ticket
Gotta [A]bring her back with me
