[Intro 1]
[D][G][E][G]

[Verse 1]
A [D]black cat crossed my path
first thing [A]today[D]
Nex[G]t thing I knew
[D]my baby left [A]an d went [D]away
[A]Baby, [D]my baby was happy,
swingin' as could be
When I wasn't kissin' her,
[G]she[Em] was kiss[A]in' me[D]
Everything [A]was [D]swingin' along,
I thought I had it made
We both agreed on everything
[Em]that the other did or [G]say
Till that old [D]black cat crossed my path
First thing today,
that old [A]black cat crossed my path
First thing today,
[D]swinging his black hat on my back
First thing [G]today,
next thing I knew,
[D]my baby [E]left [G]and w[A]ent[F#] away[Bm][D][A][D]
[A][D][Bm][D][A][G][D]
[G][D][E][A][D][G]
[Eb]I've been callin' my baby,
I found out where she's at
I asked her when she'd be back home,
but she wouldn't an[Ab]swer [Eb]that
I've just received a telegram
to bring me happy net
She'll arrive at half -past five
[F]on the [Eb]cannonballing [Ab]straightway
[Eb]Black Cat,
don't you cross my path today
[Bb]Black Cat,
don't you [F]cross my path [Eb]again
Black Cat, don't you cross my path again
[Ab]Cause if you d[Eb]o,
I've got a [Bb]grave to put [Eb]you in
Cause if you do,
all your nine [F]lives won't [Eb]help you then
Cause if you do,
I got a [F]grave to put [Eb]you in

[Outro 1]
