D-Chords: Strum once then quickly switch to next chord (makes sense when you hear the song)
G D Em D
The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass
C G Am
The cowboys take position in the bushes and the grass
Eb Cm
The squaw is with the corporal she is tied against the tree
Eb Cm
She doesn't mind the language it's the beatings she don't need
Eb C(barre)
She lets loose all the horses while the corporal is asleep
G D Em D
And he wakes to find the fire's out and arrows in his hat
C F
And Davey Crocket rides around and says he's cool for cats
(background singers)
Em Am
Coooool for caaaats
G
The Sweeney's doing ninety
D Em D
'Cos they've got the word to go
C
They get a gang of villains
G 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(barre)
Always look the bleeding same
G
And meanwhile at the station
D Em
There's a couple of likely lads
D C
Who swear like how's your father
F
And they're very cool for cats
They're cool for cats
(background singers)
Em Am
Coooool for caaaats
Stays the same for the rest of the song.
