called the hidden paw

For he's the master criminal

who can defy the law
Ebdim 
E 
Am 
G 
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard,

the Flying      Squad's despair

Verse 2
Am 
C 
D 
Macavity, Macavity, there's no
Ebdim 
one like Macavity
Am 
C 
He's broken every human law,
D 
Ebdim 
he breaks the law of gravity
Am 
C 
His powers of levitation would
D 
Eb 
make a fakir stare
Ebdim 
D 
But when you reach the scene of
F 
E 
crime Macavity's not there!
Am 
Cdim 
You may seek   him in the basement,
you may look up in the air
Am 
D 
E 
But I tell you once and once again
Am 
Macavity's not there!
C 
Macavity's a ginger cat, he's

Verse 3
D 
Ebdim 
very tall and thin
E 
Am 
C 
You would know him if you saw
D 
Ebdim 
him for his eyes are sunked in
E 
Am 
A 
His brow is deeply lined with thought,
Am 
his head is highly domed
A 
D 
His coat is dusty from neglect,
his whiskers are uncombed
E 
F#m 
F#dim 
E 
He sways his head  from side     to side
with movements like a snake
Ebdim 
E 
Bb 
D 
And when you think he's half asleep,
E 
Am 
C 
he's always wide awake

Verse 4
D 
Macavity, Macavity, there's
Ebdim 
no one like Macavity
Am 
C 
For he's a fiend in feline shape,
D 
Ebdim 
a monster of depravity
Am 
C 
Am 
You may meet him in a by- street,
D 
Ebdim 
you may see him in the square
E 
D 
But when a crime's discovered then
E 
D 
Macavity's not there!

Verse 5
C 
Ebdim 
F#dim 
F#m 
F#dim 
He's outwardly   re    spectable,
Ebdim 
C 
Am 
E 
G 
I know he cheats at cards
Am 
C 
Eb 
F#dim 
F#m 
Ebm 
And his footprints are      not   found in
C 
Am 
E 
D 
Am 
any files of Scotland Yard's
E 
Cdim 
F#dim 
And when   the larder's looted
Cdim 
or the jewel case is rifled
Or when the milk is missing or an
F#dim 
E 
other    peke's been stifled
Am 
G 
Or the greenhouse glass is broken
Gsus4 
F#dim 
and the trellis  past repair
F 
Am 
C 
Am 
A 
D 
There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not
A 
E 
there!

Verse 6
Am 
F#dim 
D 
Macavity, Macavity, there's no
Ebdim 
one like Macavity
Am 
F#dim 
There never was a cat      of such
D 
Ebdim 
deceitfulness and suavity
Am 
C 
Am 
He always has an alibi and
F#dim 
F 
one      or two to spare
E 
Am 
What ever time the deed took
F 
Am 
place Macavity's not there!

Verse 7
Cdim 
Ebdim 
And they say that all    the cats     whose
Cdim 
F#dim 
wicked deeds are widely known
D 
G 
I might mention Mungojerrie, I might
C 
E 
mention Griddlebone
Am 
G 
Are nothing more than agents for the
F#dim 
Fdim 
cat      who all the time
E 
Just controls the operations: the Napolean of
E 
Am 
C 
crime!

Verse 8
D 
Macavity, Macavity, there's
Am 
no one like Macavity
C 
He's a fiend in feline shape,
D 
Ebdim 
a monster of depravity
Am 
You may meet him in a by- street,
F#dim 
F 
you may see      him in the square
E 
Am 
But when a crime's discovered
E 
then Macavity
F 
Bb 
E 
Macavity, Macavity, Macavity
