D#m7 G#
[Verse]
F#maj7 Fm A#m
On a morning from a Bogart movie
F#maj7 Fm A#m
in a country where they turned back time
F#maj7 Fm A#m
you go strolling through the crowd like
D#m7 G#7
Peter Lorre contemplating a crime.
F#maj7 Fm A#m
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress
F F#
running like a water color in the rain.
F A#m
Don't bother asking for explanations.
D#m7 G#
She'll just tell you that she came
in the Year of the Cat.

D#m7 G#
[Verse]
F#maj7 Fm A#m
She doesn't give you time for questions
F#maj7 Fm A#m
as she locks up you arm in hers.
F#maj7 Fm A#m
And you follow 'til your sense of
D#m7 G#7
which direction completely disappears.
F#maj7 Fm A#m
By the blue-tiled walls near the market stalls
F F#
there's a hidden door she leads you to.
F A#m
"These days," she says, "I feel my life just
D#m7 G#
like a river running through
the Year of the Cat."

[BRIG#GE] (lead-in: D instead of D7)
F F#
Well she looks at you so cooly
C# G#
and her eyes shine like the moon
in the sea.
F F#
She comes in incense and pathchouli
C# B
so you take her to find what's
F#/A# G#
waiting inside
the Year of the Cat.

D#m7 G#
[Verse]
F#maj7 Fm A#m
Well morning comes and you're still with her
F#maj7 Fm A#m
and the bus and the tourists are gone.
F#maj7 Fm A#m
And you've thrown away your choice and
D#m7 G#7
lost your ticket so you have to stay on.
F#maj7 Fm A#m
But the drumbeat strains of the night
F F#
remain in the rhythm of the newborn day.
F A#m
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
D#m7 G#
but for now you're gonna stay
in the Year of the Cat.

What makes this song sound so great is the piano riffs, the sax, the
solos, and, of course, Al Stewart's voice. But you can still have fun
with this tune singing solo with a sweet soundin' acoustic in hand.
