The Cat Came Back


 3   4  -3  -3    3   3
Now old mis-ter john-son

 3     4     4  -3  3
Had trouble of his own

3   4   4  -3  3   3   2
He had an old yel-low cat

  2    -1   3    3    3   3
That would-n’t leave its home

3    3    4   4   -3  -3   3
He tried ev-‘ry-thing he knew

 3   4   4   -3 -3 3
To keep the cat a-way

 4   5   5  5  5  5 -4  4
He took it up to Can-a-da

 -4   5   5  5   5   5
And told it for to stay


(CHORUS)
 
 4   -4  5    4    4   -4  5  5   6   6
But the cat came back the ver-y next day

 6   -5  5    4    4
The old cat came back

   -5   -5 -5 -5 -6  -6
Thought he was a gon-ner

 -6  6    6   7
The cat came back

  7    7   -6   7   -7 -6  7
Cause he could-n’t stay a-way

ENJOY!!
