Cool For Cats

Cool for Cats - Squeeze

[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)
