Gino Paoli (born 23 September 1934) is an Italian singer-songwriter.
Paoli was born in Monfalcone, but moved very early to Genoa.
After several different jobs, he was called by Ricordi with his friends Luigi Tenco and Bruno Lauzi. His first success was the single "La gatta". This was followed by "Sapore di sale", arranged by Ennio Morricone. In the same year he attempted suicide by shooting at his heart, but he survived.
In 1974 he returned with the LP I semafori rossi non sono Dio, followed by Il mio mestiere (1977).

[F]C'era una [Dm]volta una [Gm7]gatta che a[C7]veva una macchia [F]nera sul [Dm]muso e una [Gm7]vecchia sof[C7]fitta vicino al [F]mare con [Dm]una fi[Gm7]nestra a un [C7]passo dal cielo [F]blu. [Dm][Gm7][C7]
Se la chitarra suonavo la gatta faceva le fusa ed una stellina scendeva vicina vicina poi mi sorrideva e se ne tornava [F]su. [Dm][Gm7][C7][F]
[Am]Ora non abito pi? [Bm7]l?;[E7] tutto ? cam[Am]biato, non abito pi? [D5-]l?. [C]Ho una casa bel[Dm]lissima, bel[G7]lissima come vuoi [Gm7]tu.[C7]
Ma io ripenso a una gatta che aveva una macchia nera sul muso, a una vecchia soffitta vicino al mare con una stellina che ora non vedo pi?.
