Standard (EADGBE)
I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs,
I know you're no scare-eyed honey.
There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs, but
Its no hanging matter,
It's no capital crime.
Yes I can see that you're 15 years old.
No I don't want your i.d.
Yes I can see that you're so far from home, but
Its no hanging matter,
Its no capital crime.
Chorus
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat, I bet
Bet your mama don't know ya scream like that
I bet your mother don't know that you spit like that.
You look so weird and you're so, so far from home
But you really miss your mother
Don't look so scared I'm not no mad-brained bear, but
But its no hanging matter
INTO BREAK
It's no capital crime, oh yeah....
Break
I bet your mama don't know that you scratch like that
I bet your mother don't know you bite like that.
You say you got a friend, and she's wilder than you
Why don't you bring her upstairs
If she's so wild then she can join in too
Its no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I bet your mama don't know you can bite like that
I bet she never saw ya scratch my back
Lead break & fade all in A
