[Intro] A [Verse]
D          C                   G                 G,F,D
I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs,

D             C             G    G,F,D
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           G,F,D 
Yes I can see that you're 15 years old.

D          C           G  G,F,D
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.

A

But you really miss your mother

D             C                 G
Don't look so scared I'm not no mad-brained bear, but

A

A                         C INTO BREAK

You say you got a friend, and she's wilder than you

D             C           G     G,F,D
Why don't you bring her upstairs

D           C                 G
If she's so wild then she can join in too

A
Its no hanging matter

A
It's no capital crime
[Chorus]

Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat

C  G
Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that

A
I bet your mama don't know you can bite like that

A
I bet she never saw ya scratch my back
