Chords for The Ad-dressing of the Cats | Cats the Musical

[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] You've heard of _ several [A] _ _ kinds of cat, and [G] _ my _ opinion [Fm] _ _ [Eb] now is that you [F] should _ [Bb] need no
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] interpreter to _ understand our [F] _ _ _ character. _
[Bb] You've _ learned enough to [F] _ _ [G] take the [Dm] view [Gm] that
cats are _ [F] [Eb] very much like [Cm] you.
[Bb] You've seen us [Dm] both [Gm] at work and _ games [Bb] and _ learned about
[Gm] our proper _ _ names, [Bb] our _ habits and [Gm] our _ _ habitat.
_ [Bb] But _ how would you _ _ address [Eb] _ _
a [Bb] _ _ cat? _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
So [Bb] _ _ first your _ _ memory, _ _ [Gm] I'll _
_ [Bb] jog [Eb] and _ [Bb] say [Cm] a [Bb] cat [F] is _ _ _ [Eb] not _ [Bb] a _ dog.
[Eb] So _ [Bb] say _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a _ dog _ _ _ and say a [Cm] [Bb] cat [F] is _ not a _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ dog.
With _ cats _ _ some [Eb] say one rule is [Bb] _ true. _
_ _ _ [C] Don't _ [F] speak till _ you _ _ [C] are _ _ spoken _ [F] to. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Myself, I do _ [G] not _ [Gm] hold with that.
I [E] _ say you should _ [Am] address _ a cat, but [Gb] _ always _ keep in [Bm] _ mind that he _ [Em] _ resents _ _ _ _ _ familiar.
_ [Gb] If _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
you bow _ _ _ and [E] _ taking _ _ _ off [B] your _ _ _ _ hat, [Db] _ address _ _ [Gb] him _ _ in _ this _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ form. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ Before _ a cat [Gb] will _ _ _ condescend to [Abm] treat you [B] as [E] a trusted _ friend, [B] some _ little [Gb] token [Abm] _
_ of _ esteem [A] is _ needed [B] like [Gb] a dish of cream.
And [B] you might now [Ebm] and [Gb] then supply _ [Abm] some _ caviar [B] [E] or _ Strasburg _ pie, [B] some _ farted grouse [Abm] or salmon _ paste.
[B] He's sure to have [Abm] his personal taste.
[B] And so in time [Abm] you'll reach your aim [B] and call _ _ him _ [Dbm] by _
_ [B] his _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ name. _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ [B] _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ [E] But [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ [B] _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
in time you'll _ _ expect the [E] evidence [B] _ _
[E] is [B] of _ [Gb] _ _ respect.
[E] So _ _ [B] is _ _ his _ and _ that [Abm] is _ _ _ [B] that. _
[E] And [B] that's [E] how [B] you _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ address [E] _
_ _ _ _ a cat. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Cm] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ [F] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [N] _
