Squeeze - Cool For Cats
For me, this song is easier in D
D
The Indians send signals
Bm
from the rocks above the pass
G
the cowboys take positions
Em
in the bushes and the grass
Bb
The squaw is with the Corporal
Gm
she is tied against the tree
Bb
she doesn't mind the language
Gm
it's the beating she don't need
Bb
she lets loose all the horses
Gm
when the Corporal is asleep
D
And he wakes to find the fire's dead
Bm
and arrows in his hats
G
and Davy Crockett rides around
Em
and says it's cool for cats
D Bm
it's cool for (cool for cats)
D
The Sweeney's doing ninety
Bm
'cause they've got the word to go
G
they get a gang of villians
Em
in a shed up at Heathrow
Bb
They're counting out the fivers
Gm
when the handcuffs lock again
Bb
in and out of Wandsworth
Gm
with the numbers on their names
Bb
it's funny how their missus
Gm
always look the bleeding same
D
And meanwhile at the station
Bm
there's a couple of likely lads
G
who swear like how's your father
Em
and they're very cool for cats
D Bm
they're cool for (cool for cats)
D
To change the mood a little
Bm
I've been posing down the pub
G
on seeing my reflection
Em
I am looking slightly rough
Bb
I fancy this, I fancy that
Gm
I want to be so flash
Bb
I give a little muscle
Gm
and I spend a little cash
Bb Gm
but all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash
D
And by the time I'm sober
Bm
I've forgotten what I've had
G Em
and everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat
D Bm
cool for (cool for cats)
D
Shape up at the disco
Bm
and I think I've got a pull
G
I ask her lots of questions
Em
as she hangs on to the wall
Bb
I kiss her for the first time
Gm
And then I take her home
Bb
I'm invited in for coffee
Gm
And I give the dog a bone
Bb
She likes to go to discos
Gm
But she's never on her own
D
I said I'll see you later
Bm
And I give her some old chat
G
But it's not like that on the TV
Em
When it's cool for cats
D Bm
cool for (cool for cats)
