     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.

    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."

         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.

     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.
