Verse 1:

  Am7add2 Bm7/E [etc.]
  Catlong sighs holdin' Kitty's black tooth
                     [1: E7#9]
  She left to marry some top cat, ain't it the cold truth

  Am         Dm7                       Am7
  And there hasn't been a tally since Sally left the alley
         Dm7                                       Esus4       E  Esus4  E
  Since Kitty left with Big Pretty things have got pretty thin,
	yeah yeah
        Dm7                        F7                     (Dsus4/A)
  It's tight in this business and young dudes are musclin' in

  Dsus4/A   D/A           A   F#m  E      [2X]
    / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 2:

  Big Jack Knife cries cause baby's in a bundle
  She goes runnin' nightly, lightly through the jungle
  And them tin cans are explodin' down in the ninety degree heat
  Cat somehow lost his baby down on Bleeker Street

       Dm7 [N.C.]
  It's sad but it sure is true
  Gsus4           G         Gsus4           G
  Cat shrugs his shoulders, sits back and sighs

Chorus:

  C             Em7   F   G         Am
  Ooh what can I do, ooh what can I do?

  Ooh what can I do, ooh what can I do?

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]

  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

Coda (5:40):

  C             Em7   F   G         Am
  Ooh what can I do, ooh what can I do?
  Ooh what can I do, ooh what can I do?
