G F Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono, G F G Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream like wind. G F China cat! G F China cat! G F China cat! G F Scratching at my door. Solo over D C D Verse 2: Crazy cat peekin' through a lace bandanna, Like a one-eyed Cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack. A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle, To a double-E waterfall over my back. China cat! China cat! China cat! Scratching at my door. At this point, the whole tune modulates from G to E. Play Bob's intro part starting on Fret 9 of the B string. |------------------------|------9-10p9---------------------| |----------9----9-10-12--|--12---------12--10-12p10-9------| |---9-9h11---11----------|-----------------------------11--| |------------------------|---------------------------------| |------------------------|---------------------------------| |------------------------|---------------------------------| E D |-----------------------------------------| |------------10--9------------------------| |--9-9-11-11-------11--9------9--11-------| |-------------------------12---------10---| |-----------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------| E D |--------|----------------------------|----9-10p9---------| |--------|-----------9------9--10--12-|-12---------12--10-| |-9h11-9-|-9--9--11-----11------------|-------------------| |--------|----------------------------|-------------------| |--------|----------------------------|-------------------| |--------|----------------------------|-------------------| E D |----------------------------------------------------------| |--12--10--9--------------------10--9----------------------| |-------------11--9--9--11--11---------11--9-----9h11--9---| |--------------------------------------------12------------| |----------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------| E D Solo over E Move to B A B Verse 3: Comic book colors on a violin river Cryin' Leonardo, words from out a silk trombone. I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls, In the eagle-winged palace of the Queen Chinee. China cat! China cat! China cat! Scratching at my door.
