[Intro] B7 B7 E A E [Verse 1]
       E                          B7
Little Bennie had a cat that they wouldn't let him keep

                                     E  A           E
So he put her up for sale at a price he thought was cheap

   A                         E
He took her to a neighbor to ask him for advice

          B7              A             B7       A       B7
He said, "Leave the kitty here. She can help me with the mice."
[Chorus]
        E                  B7
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away

                                 E
She was sitting on the porch the very next day

    A                  E
The cat came back, she didn't want to roam

    B7                   E     A     E
The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.
E E E E [Verse 2]
     E                        B7
Then Bennie met a man who was driving way out West

                                 E       A       E
He would take the cat along as a special honored guest

    A                             E
The steering wheel was wobbly, he drove into a tree

    B7             A              B7     A     B7
The car was just a total wreck as anyone could see
[Chorus]
        E                  B7
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away

                                 E
She was sitting on the porch the very next day

    A                  E
The cat came back, she didn't want to roam

    B7                   E     A     E
The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.
E E E E [Verse 3]
   E                            B7
So Bennie bought a gun from the Human Cannonball

                               E     A  E
He put the cat inside with Tri-Nitro Toluol

A                               E
When he pulled the trigger, the cannon made a roar

    B7               A                    B7         A     B7
The neighbors all surrendered 'cause they thought it was a war
[Chorus]
        E                  B7
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away

                                 E
She was sitting on the porch the very next day

    A                  E
The cat came back, she didn't want to roam

    B7                   E     A     E
The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.
E E E E [Verse 4]
     E                        B7
Then Bennie gave the cat to a man who had a bomb

                                   E      A        E
When he took the cat away, she was acting cool and calm

    A                          E
And then the bomb exploded, it made an awful sound

     B7                        A            B7      A     B7
They searched and searched for ages but the man was never found
[Chorus]
        E                  B7
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away

                                 E
She was sitting on the porch the very next day

    A                  E
The cat came back, she didn't want to roam

    B7                   E     A     E
The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home.
[Outro] B7 B7 E A E
