Verse 3:
Catlong lies back bent on a trash can
Flashin' lights cut the night into white cities of neon [?]
Well you better move fast when you're young or you're not long around
Cat somehow lost his Kitty down in the city pound
Dm7 F7 Esus4 E Esus4 E
So get right, get tight, get down
(4:45):
Esus4 E
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, here she comes, here she comes)
the whole gang is watching her
Esus4 E
(Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes, here she comes)
F#m |
Kitty's back in town (here she comes now) | [4X]
D A A/G# |
Kitty's back in town (oh, oh, all right) |
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Cat knows his Kitty's been untrue
Amaj7 F#m
And that she left him for a city dude
D E
Well she's so soft, she's so blue
Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
When he looks into her eyes he just sits back and sighs

Ooh what can I do, ooh what can I do?
Ooh what can I do, ooh what can I do?
Oh oh oh oh oh, all right

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, all right, oh all right) [6X; fade 6th time]
