Queen- Cool Cat (Deacon/Mercury)
Album- Hot Space
Comments: I worked this out playing open chords on an acoustic, if you're playing
electric and want it to sound exactly John plays on the record you probably want
to play the song with barre chords high up the neck.
Key of E
[E-A]You're taking all the sunshine away
[E-A]Making out like you're the mainline - I knew that
[F#M]Cos you're a cool cat Tapping on the toe with a [B]new hat
[A]Just cruising - driving along like the [B]swing king
[E-A]Feeling the beat of my heart
[E-A]Feeling the beat of my heart
[F#m]You're a cool cat Coming on strong with all the [B]chit-chat
You're al[A]right hanging out and stealing all the [B]limelight
[A-B]Messing with the beat of my heart
[B]Messing with the beat of my heart
[C#m-D]
[C#m]You used to be a mean kid Making such a deal of [D]life
[C#m]You were wishing and hoping wand waiting to really hit the big [D]time
[C#m]But did it happen, happen, no You're speeding too f[D]ast
[F#m]Slow down Slow down You'd better[A] slow down
[D]Slow down
[E-A-E-A]
[E-A]You really know how to set the mood
[E-A]And you really get inside the groove
[F#m]Cool cat Tapping on the toe with a n[B]ew hat
[A]Just cuising Driving along like the sw[B]ing king
Feeling the b[A]eat of my heart[B]
Feeling the beat of my [C#M]heart - ye[D]ah yeah
[C#m-D]Feeling the beat of my heart
[C#m-D]Feeling the beat of my heart
[C#m-D]Feeling the beat of my heart
[E-A]Feeling the beat of my heart
Fades on repeated E-A progression
