LAm DO LAm
It's a hanging day, in Wolfcity (?), Wyoming,

There's gonna drop Cat Balou

Right through the gallows floor
LAm DO
Well she killed a man in Wolfcity, Wyoming,
DO
In Wolfcity, Wyoming
FA DO
She killed a man, it's true
SOL
And that is why they're hanging
(silence) C
They're hanging Cat Balou

She has the smile of an angel

She fights like the devil

The eyes of an angel

She fights like the devil

The face of an angel

I say she's the devil
SOL DO
She's mean and evil through and through
SOL DO
Cat Ballou, Cat Ballou
SOL DO
She's mean and evil through and through
LAm
Then there came to town
DO DO
A gun deadly and frightening
DO DO
A gun quicker than lightning
FA DO
The fastest gun you've seen
G (silence)
It was the gun in the hand of
DO
Steely Kitchelean (???)
LAm
Just one look at him
DO DO
And folks starting to shake
DO DO
Wild, wild as a snake
FA DO
Proud and fierce and mean
G (silence)
There was no man who was tougher
DO
As tough as Kitchelean
DO
He had the eyes of a killer
LAm
As cold as the devil
FA SOL
The look of a killer
FA SOL
The look of the devil

The face of a killer
LAm
That man was the devil
SOL DO
Just wild and ornery and mean
SOL DO
Kitchelean, Kitchelean
SOL DO
The fastest gun you've ever seen
(repeat the same chords as before)
Then she road away
Just to where now was a mystery
But Cat roamed into history
Lent (?) her legend rule
She was the queen of the outlaws
Her highness Cat Balou
Cat Balou, Cat Balou
And now the story is all through
Cat Balou, Cat Balou
Say farewell to Cat Balou
