[Verse]
     C              Bm7    Em   
On a morning from a Bogart movie
     C                  Bm        Em  
In a country where they turn back time
       C                     Bm7        Em            
You go strolling through the crowd like   Peter Lorre
Am                    D
Contemplating a crime 


[Chorus]
          C          Bm7      Em                
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
       B7                C   
Like a watercolor in the rain
             B7     Em              
Don't bother asking for explanations
            Am       Am7          
She'll just tell you that she came
D7                    C  
  In the year of the cat

Am A7 D7 D
      


[Verse]
C                    Bm       Em       
She doesn't give you time for questions
       C        Bm          Em  
As she locks up your arm in hers
        C            Bm7           Em             
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Am                    D
Completely disappears 
       C          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
            Am                    D7
Just like a river running through  
D               C  
The year of the cat

D Em C D Em C D Em
          
Am Am7 D7
      


[Verse]
          B               C    
While 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 patchouli
       G           D    F      C       D     
So you take her to find what's waiting inside
                C  
The year of the cat


[Chorus]

[Verse]
D7   D C             Bm               Em      
Well  morning comes and you're still with her
        C           Bm7          Em  
And the bus and the tourists are gone
           C           Bm                 Em              
And you've thrown away your choice you've lost your ticket
   Am          Am7     D
So you have to stay on 
        C        Bm7            Em          
But the drumbeat strains of the night remain
       B                     C  
In the rhythm of the newborn day
         B7              Em                
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
    Am                           D
But for now you're going to stay 
                   C  
In the year of the cat
