Cathouse Blues

           Am   D   G  Em
I got the cathouse blues
            Am         D            G
I wear the highest of high heel shoes
 G7   C     D          G     G/F#    Em     
Ooh, ooh darling it’s hard to be surrounded
           Am         D           D7       G
Where the women are lazy and the men are rude.

          Am          D          G
I got the cat walk, don’t talk blues
           Am             D            G
I creep on cat’s feet, I don’t speak loose
   G7  C        D       G      G/F# Em
Your…self in velvet, forget we ever met
            Am            D    D7    G    G7
I got the closed-in, the cathouse blues.

Am     D   G    G/F#   Em
Blue-grey… Eyes that   say
   G        G/F#      Em
I guess you don’t remember
    G        G/F#     Em
I guess that I was younger
Am   D       G    G/F#   Em
Touché… The cat sleeps alone
       G     G/F#   Em
Sleeps only in the sun
     Am     Am/B      C                  D
But she’ll awake the night and she’ll be gone.


             Am   D    G
Singing the cathouse blues
            Am       D        G
I need some new red velvet shoes
             C            D
I’m still a dreamer’s fancy
      G       G/F#    Em
They say I’m pretty classy
            Am           D        G  G/F#  Em
I’m just a feline silky cat come true
            Am           D        G  G/F#  Em
I’m just a feline silky cat come true…
            Am           D        G  G/F#  Em
I’m just a feline silky cat come…true…
