Am7     E7sus4         Am7
Catlong sighs holding Kitty's black
E7sus4 Am7 E7sus4 Am7
tooth
E7sus4       Am7       E7       Am7
She left to marry some top cat, ain't it the
    E7sus4 Am7  E7sus4 Am7
cold truth
E7         Dm                        Am
And there hasn't been a tally since Sally
left the alley
       Dm
Since Kitty left with Big Pretty things have
   E7sus4    E  E7sus4 E7
got pretty thin
     F6                         Fmaj7
It's tight on this fence since them young
                  Dsus4 D A  E D A E
dudes are muscling in

Am7         E7sus4      Am7
Jack Knife cries 'cause baby's in
  E7sus4 Am7 E7sus4 Am7 E7sus4
a bundle
Am7              E7sus4
She goes running nightly,
 Am7                 E7sus4  Am7 E7sus4 Am7
lightly through the jungle
E7       Dm
And them tin cans are exploding out in the
 Am
ninety-degree heat
    Dm                            E7sus4      E
Cat somehow lost his baby down on Bleecker Street
      Dm7
It's sad but it sure is true
Gsus4             G
Cat shrugs his shoulders, sits back and sighs
C               Em7 Fmaj7 G         Am
Ooh, what can I do? Ooh, what can I do?
C               Em7 Fmaj7 G         Am
Ooh, what can I do? Ooh, what can I do?

Am7     E7sus4     Am7      E7sus4  Am7 E7sus4
Catlong lies back bent on a trash can
         Am7           E7sus4               Am7
Flashing lights cut the night, dude in the white
      E7sus4  Am7 E7sus4  Am7
says he's the man
E7       Dm                                 Am
Well you better learn to move fast when you're
young or you're not long around
    Dm                            E7sus4      E
Cat somehow lost his Kitty down in the city pound
       Dm7         F7        Esus4 E Esus4 E
So get right, get tight, get down
     Esus4
Well who's that down at the end of the alley?
 Esus4              E
She's been gone so long
Esus4            E
Here she comes, here she comes
Esus4            E
Here she comes, here she comes
Esus4            E
Here she comes, here she comes
Esus4            E
Here she comes, here she comes

Chorus:
F#m
Kitty's back in town (Here she comes now)
D                A
Kitty's back in town (Oh-oh all right)
F#m

    Dsus4                  D         Dsus4  D
Now Cat knows his Kitty's been untrue
     A                      F#m
And that she left him for a city dude
       D             E7
Well she's so soft, she's so blue
Gsus                    G
When he looks into her eyes
Gsus                   G
He just sits back and sighs
C               Em  F    G          Am
Ooh, what can I do? Ooh, what can I do?
C               Em  F    G          Am
Ooh, what can I do? Ooh, what can I do?
C               Em  F    G          Am
Oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
C               Em  F    G          Am
