[Intro]
G Em C Am

[Verse]
        G
The Indians send signals
                Em
from the rocks above the pass
       C
the cowboys take positions
           Am
in the bushes and the grass

        Eb
The squaw is with the Corporal
           Cm
she is tied against the tree
       Eb
she doesn't mind the language
             Cm
it's the beating she don't need
       Eb
she lets loose all the horses
                 C
when the Corporal is asleep

[Chorus]
             G
And he wakes to find the fire's dead
        Em
and arrows in his hats
        C
and Davy Crockett rides around
        F
and says it's cool for cats
                   G                        Em
it's cool for cats (cooool for cats)

[Verse]
         G
The Sweeney's doing ninety
                    Em
'cuz they've got the word to go
         C
they get a gang of villans
        Am
in a shed up at Heathrow

              Eb
They're counting out the fivers
                Cm
when the handcuffs lock again
Eb
in and out of Wandsworth
               Cm
with the numbers on their names
       Eb
it's funny how their missus'
             C
always look the bleeding same

[Chorus]
         G
And meanwhile at the station
               Em
there's a couple of likely lads
         C
who swear like how's your father
                   F
and they're very cool for cats
                          G                       Em
they're cool for cats (cooool for cats)

[Verse]
      G
To change the mood a little
                Em
I've been posing down the pub
      C
on seeing my reflection
       Am
I'm looking slightly rough

   Eb
I fancy this, I fancy that
   Cm
I want to be so flash
   Eb
I give a little muscle
          Cm
and I spend a little cash
       Eb                                C
but all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash

[Chorus]
        G
And by the time I'm sober
          Em
I've forgotten what I've had
        C                                         F
and everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat
              G                          Em
cool for cats (coooool for cats)

[Extended Vamp Break]
Em

[Verse]
G
Shake up at the disco
          Em
and I think I've got a pull
   C
I ask her lots of questions
               Am
and she hangs on to the wall

   Eb
I kiss her for the first time
        Cm
And then I take her home
         Eb
I'm invited in for coffee
          Cm
And I give the dog a bone
        Eb
She likes to go to discos
             C
But she's never on her own

[Chorus]
   G
I said I'll see you later
          Em
And I give her some old chat
       C
But it's not like that on the TV
F
When it's cool for cats
                   G                          Em
It's cool for cats (coooool for cats)
