This is a good one. I play it for my cat all the time. Crank up the reverb
and play it clean. Some of you might want to sing Strat Cat Strut.
could someone send this to Nevada FTP?

Oooh Oooh
Am G F E7
Black and orange stray cat sittin' on a fence.
Am G F E7
Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent.
Am G F E7 G7 (tacet)
I'm flat broke but I don't care, I strut right by with my tail in the air.
Dm C Bb A7 Dm C Bb A7
Stray cat strut I'm a lady cat, Tom cats say hey man that's that.
Dm C Bb A7 Dm (tacet)
Shoe thrown at me from a mean old man. Get my dinner from a garbage can.
[Verse 2]
Dm Am7 Dm Dm7
I don't bother chasing mice around. I slink down the alley looking for a fight
B7 E7 Am G
howlin' to the moonlight on a hot summer night. Singin' the blues while the
F E7 Am G F E7 Am G
other cats cry. Watching me with those envious eys. I wish I could be as
F E7 Am(tacet)
care-free and wild, but I got cat class and I got cat style.
