Cm          Bb            Ab      G7

I strut right by with my tail in the air

Stray cat strut I'm a ladies cat

I'm a feline Casanova hey man that's that
      Fm          Eb           Db       C7    
Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man

Get my dinner from a garbage can

[chorus:]
Fm             Fm7               Cm    
I don't bother chasing mice around
Fm
I slink down the alley looking for a fight
 D7                           G7                                 
howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Cm             Bb                     Ab        G7      
Singing the blues while the lady cats cry
Cm           Bb               Ab            G7
Wild stray cat you're a real gone guy.
Cm                  Bb     Ab            G7           
I wish I could be as care-free and wild

Cm  {let ring}
but I got cat class and I got cat style.
