Version 1[Intro] A [Verse] D C G G,F,D I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs, D C G G,F,D I know you're no scare-eyed honey. D C G There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs, but A Its no hanging matter, A It's no capital crime. D C G G,F,D Yes I can see that you're 15 years old. D C G G,F,D No I don't want your i.d. D C G Yes I can see that you're so far from home, but A Its no hanging matter, A Its no capital crime. [Chorus] A C Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat C G Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that G D Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat, I bet A Bet your mama don't know ya scream like that A I bet your mother don't know that you spit like that. [Verse] D C G G,F,D You look so weird and you're so, so far from home D C G G,F,D But you really miss your mother D C G Don't look so scared I'm not no mad-brained bear, but A But its no hanging matter A C INTO BREAK It's no capital crime, oh yeah.... [Break] G,D,A [Bridge] A I bet your mama don't know that you scratch like that A I bet your mother don't know you bite like that. [Verse] D C G G,F,D You say you got a friend, and she's wilder than you D C G G,F,D Why don't you bring her upstairs D C G If she's so wild then she can join in too A Its no hanging matter A It's no capital crime [Chorus] A C Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat C G Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that G D Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat A I bet your mama don't know you can bite like that A I bet she never saw ya scratch my back [Lead break & fade all] A
