Stray Cat Blues
(The Rolling Stones)


A chord to start


D C G G,F,D
I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs,
D C G G,F,D
I know you're no scare-eyed honey.
D C G
There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs, but
A
Its no hanging matter,
A
It's no capital crime.


D C G G,F,D
Yes I can see that you're 15 years old.
D C G G,F,D
No I don't want your i.d.
D C G
Yes I can see that you're so far from home, but
A
Its no hanging matter,
A
Its no capital crime.

Chorus
A C
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
C G
Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
G D
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat, I bet
A
Bet your mama don't know ya scream like that
A
I bet your mother don't know that you spit like that.


D C G G,F,D
You look so weird and you're so, so far from home
D C G G,F,D
But you really miss your mother
D C G
Don't look so scared I'm not no mad-brained bear, but
A
But its no hanging matter
A C INTO BREAK
It's no capital crime, oh yeah....


Break: G,D,A

A
I bet your mama don't know that you scratch like that
A
I bet your mother don't know you bite like that.

D C G G,F,D
You say you got a friend, and she's wilder than you
D C G G,F,D
Why don't you bring her upstairs
D C G
If she's so wild then she can join in too
A
Its no hanging matter
A
It's no capital crime


A C
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
C G
Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
G D
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
A
I bet your mama don't know you can bite like that
A
I bet she never saw ya scratch my back


Lead break & fade all in A

I think Bill Wyman took a little too much courage from this song.
