[INTRO] C D Em 3x
Am D

[Verse]

          C                      Bm         Em
On a morning from a Bogart movie
       C                             Bm                 Em
in a country where they turned back time
             C                               Bm          Em
you go strolling through the crowd like
                               Am                  D
Peter Lorre contemplating a crime.
                  C              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.
                 Am                             D
She'll just tell you that she came

in the Year of the Cat.

[INSTRUMENTAL] C D Em 3x
Am D

[Verse]

       C                        Bm                Em
She doesn't give you time for questions
           C                   Bm            Em
as she locks up you arm in hers.
               C                     Bm        Em
And you follow 'til your sense of
                                Am                      D
which direction completely disappears.
            C               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
           Am                         D
like a river running through

the Year of the Cat."

[INSTRUMENTAL] C D Em 3x
Am D

[BRIDGE] D

                 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                D
waiting inside

the Year of the Cat.

[INSTRUMENTAL] C D Em
Am D

[Verse]

        C                           Bm                     Em
Well morning comes and you're still with her
              C                     Bm          Em
and the bus and the tourists are gone.
                       C                      Bm           Em
And you've thrown away your choice and
                                     Am                  D
lost your ticket so you have to stay on.
              C                    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
             Am                            D
but for now you're gonna stay

in the Year of the Cat.
