INTRO: Ride on A

D	   C		        G	           F
I hear the click clack of your feet on the stairs
D	      C   	    G      F
I know you're no scare eyed honey
D	      C			G
There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs
A
But it's no hanging matter
A
It's no capital crime

D     C               G                  F
I can see that you're fifteen years old
D          C           G   F
No I don't want your I.D.
D         C               G
And I can see that you're so far from home
A
But that's no hanging matter
A
It's no capital crime

C
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
G
Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
D
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
A
Bet your mama don't know you scream like that
A
I bet your mother don't know that you spit like that

D           C                      G                F
You look so weird - I sense you're so far from home
D       C                      G       F
But you don't really miss your mother
D           C             G
You look so scared I'm no mad brained bear
A
But it's no hanging matter
A                           C
It's no capital crime - Oh, yeah

G   D  A

A
Bet your mama don't know you scream like that
A
I bet your mother don't know that you spit like that
 
D		  C		G		F
You say you got a friend, she's wilder than you
D		    C	        G	F
Well, why don't you bring her upstairs
D	    C			 G
If she's so wild she can join in too
A
But it's no hanging matter
A
It's no capital crime

C
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
G
Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
D
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
A
Bet you mama don't know you scream like that
A
I bet your mother don't know that you can bite like that
A
I'll bet she never saw you scratch my back
