[Intro 1] [E][Am][C][D][F#dim][D][A][D][A][Am] Macavity's [C]a mystery cat, he's [Verse 1] [D] called the hidden [Ebdim]paw [E]For he'[Am]s the master cri[C]minal who [D]can defy the law [Ebdim]He's the [E]bafflemen[Am]t of Scotland [G]Yard, the Fly[F#dim]ing Squad's despair[F] For [E]when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not [Am]there![C][Ebdim][F#dim] [F#m][F#dim][Ebdim][C][Am][C][Am][C][E] [Verse 2] [Am] [C] Macavity, Macavity, there's [D]no one [Ebdim]like Macavity He's [Am]broken every [C]human law, he [D]breaks the law of [Ebdim]gravity His [Am]powers of lev[C]itation would [D]make a fakir [Eb]stare [Ebdim]But when you reach the[D] scene of [F]crime [E]Macavity's not there! [Am]You may [Cdim]seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air But I [Am]tell you once and once [D]again[E] Macavity's not [Am]there! Macavity's a ginger [C]cat, he's [Verse 3] [D] very tall and [Ebdim]thin [E]You would kno[Am]w him if you saw[C] him for his [D]eyes are [Ebdim]sunked in [E]His bro[Am]w is deeply lin[A]ed with thought, his [Am]head is highly domed [A]His coa[D]t is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed [E]He sways his [F#m]head from s[F#dim]ide to side[E] with movements like a snake [Ebdim]And when you [E]think he's half asle[Bb]ep,[D] [E]he's [Am]always wide [C]awake [Verse 4] [D]Macavity, Macavity, there's no one [Ebdim]like Macavity For [Am]he's a fiend in [C]feline shape, a [D]monster of de[Ebdim]pravity You may [Am]meet him in a [C]by- [Am]street, you may [D]see him in [Ebdim]the square But [E]when [D]a crime's discovered then [E]Macavity's not the[D]re! [Verse 5] [C]He's out[Ebdim]wardly re[F#dim] spectabl[F#m]e,[F#dim] [Ebdim]I know he[C] ch[Am]eats at card[E]s[G] [Am]And his [C]footprin[Eb]ts are n[F#dim]ot found[F#m] in[Ebm] [C]any[Am] files of Scotlan[E]d Yard[D]'s[Am] [E]And whe[Cdim]n the larde[F#dim]r's looted [Cdim]or the jewel case is rifled Or when the milk is missing or an [F#dim]other peke's been sti[E]fled Or the [Am]greenhouse glass [G]is broken [Gsus4]and the trellis p[F#dim]ast repair [F]The[Am]re's the wonder of [C]the thi[Am]ng Mac[A]avi[D]ty's not [A]there![E] [Verse 6] [Am][F#dim] Macavity, Macavity, there's [D]no one [Ebdim]like Macavity There [Am]never was a [F#dim]cat of such de[D]ceitfulness and [Ebdim]suavity He [Am]always has [C]an alib[Am] i and [F#dim]one or two to spare[F] What ever [E]time the [Am]deed took [F]place Macavity's not [Am]there! [Verse 7] And they say that [Cdim]all the cats[Ebdim] whose [Cdim]wicked deeds are widely [F#dim]known I might [D]mention [G]Mungojerrie, I might [C]mention [E]Griddlebone Are [Am]nothing more than [G]agents for the [F#dim]cat who all the time[Fdim] Just con[E]trols the operations: the Napolean of [E]cri[Am]me![C] [Verse 8] [D]Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like [Am]Macavity He's a fiend in [C]feline shape, a [D]monster of de[Ebdim]pravity You may [Am]meet him in a by- street, you may [F#dim]see him in the s[F]quare But [E]when a crime's dis[Am]covered [E]then Macavity [F]Macavity, Macav[Bb] ity,[E] Macavity [Verse 9] [Am]When[Gsus4][F#dim][F] a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
