[Verse 1]
---------------------
D     Cmaj7          Bm       Em D
 On a morning from a Bogart movie
     Cmaj7              Bm
In a country where they turn back time
Em D      Cmaj7                 Bm        Em
   You go strolling through the crowd like  Peter Lorre
Cmaj7  Am
Contemplating a crime
D          Cmaj7         Bm         Em
 She comes out of the sun  in a silk  dress running
       B7                Cmaj7
Like a watercolor in the rain
               B7      Em
Don't bother asking for  explanations
            Am
She'll just tell you that she came
D
 In the year of the cat

[Verse 2]
---------------------
D    Cmaj7                Bm        Em   D
 She doesn't give you time  for questions
       Cmaj7         Bm
As she locks up your arm in hers
Em D        Cmaj7           Bm         Em             Cmaj7
    And you follow till your  sense of which direction
    Am
Completely disappears
D       Cmaj7           Bm         Em
 By the blue tiled walls  near the market stalls
            B7                      Cmaj7
There's a hidden door she leads you to 
           B7             Em
These days,  she says, "I feel my life
              Am
Just like a river running through"
D
 The year of the cat



[Bridge]
---------------------
D          B7                 C
 Well, she looks at you so coolly
            G               D
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
             B7            C
She comes in incense and patchouli
       G            F              C
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
D
 The year of the cat

[Verse 3]
---------------------
D     Cmaj7             Bm                Em D
 Well morning comes and you're still with her
        Cmaj7          Bm        Em  D
And the bus and the tourists are gone
           Cmaj7           Bm           Em              Cmaj7
And you've thrown away your  choice and lost your ticket
       Am
So you have to stay on
D        Cmaj7           Bm            Em
 But the drumbeat strains  of the night  remain
             B7
In the rhythm  of the newborn day
Cmaj7           B7               Em
   You know sometime you're bound  to leave her
        Am
But for now you're going to stay
D
