[Verse]
D C G GFD
,,
I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs,
D C G GFD
,,
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 GFD
,,
Yes I can see that you're 15 years old.
D C G GFD
,,
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

Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat, I bet

Bet your mama don't know ya scream like that

You look so weird and you're so, so far from home
D C G GFD

But its no hanging matter

You say you got a friend, and she's wilder than you
D C G GFD

Why don't you bring her upstairs
D C G
If she's so wild then she can join in too

Its no hanging matter
A
It's no capital crime
[Chorus]

Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
