[D] [C] On a morning [Bm] from a [Em] bogart movie In a country [Bm] where they turn [Em] back time
You go strolling [G] through the crowd [Em] like Pete Dillard [Am] contemplating a crime
[D] She [C] comes out [Bm] of the sun [Em] in a silk dress running [B] off a water car [C] in the rain
[B] Don't bother [Em] asking for explanation [Am] she will tell you that she came [D] in the year [C] of the [D] cat

[G] But she [Bm] doesn't give you time [Em] for questions as [C] she locks [Bm] up your [Em] lock and hers
And you follow [Bm] to the other's [Em] fence of which direction [Am] completely [D] disappears
[C] By the blue [Bm] tile walls [Em] near the market [Am]
stalls [B] with a hint that she [C] leads you to
These [B] days she [Em] says I'm feeling my life just [Am] like a river running through [D] the year of [Em] the cat

[D]
[C] But the drum [Bm] beat strains [Em] of the night remain [B] and the rhythm of the new fun [C] day
