Verse 1
(E major) (A minor) (C major) (D major) (F sharpdim) (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (A minor) Macavity's
(C major) a mystery cat,
he's (D major) called the hidden paw (E flatdim)
(E major) For (A minor) he's the master (C major) criminal
who (D major) can defy the law
(E flatdim) He's (E major) the (A minor) bafflement of (G major) Scotland Yard,
the Fly (F sharpdim) ing Squad's des (F major) pair
For (E major) when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there! (A minor) (C major) (E flatdim) (F sharpdim)
(F sharp minor) (F sharpdim) (E flatdim) (C major) (A minor) (C major) (A minor) (C major) (E major)
Verse 2
(A minor)
(C major)
Macavity, Macavity, there's (D major) no
one like (E flatdim) Macavity
He's (A minor) broken every (C major) human law,
he (D major) breaks the law of (E flatdim) gravity
His (A minor) powers of lev (C major) itation would
(D major) make a fakir stare (E flat major)
(E flatdim) But when you (D major) reach the scene of
(F major) crime (E major) Macavity's not there!
(A minor) You may (Cdim) seek him in the basement,
you may look up in the air
But I (A minor) tell you once and once again (D major) (E major)
Macavity's not there! (A minor)
Macavity's a ginger (C major) cat, he's
Verse 3
(D major)
very tall and (E flatdim) thin
(E major) You would (A minor) know him if you (C major) saw
him for his (D major) eyes are (E flatdim) sunked in
(E major) His (A minor) brow is deeply (A major) lined with thought,
his (A minor) head is highly domed
(A major) His (D major) coat is dusty from neglect,
his whiskers are uncombed
He sways (E major) his (F sharp minor) head from (F sharpdim) side to (E major) side
with movements like a snake
(E flatdim) And (E major) when you think he's (B flat major) half asleep (D major) ,
he's (E major) always (A minor) wide (C major) awake
Verse 4
Macavity, Macavity, there's (D major)
no one like (E flatdim) Macavity
For (A minor) he's a fiend in (C major) feline shape,
a (D major) monster of de (E flatdim) pravity
You may (A minor) meet him in a (C major) by- street, (A minor)
you may (D major) see him in the square (E flatdim)
But (E major) when a crime's (D major) discovered then
(E major) Macavity's not there! (D major)
Verse 5
(C major) He's out (E flatdim) wardly (F sharpdim) (F sharp minor) re spect (F sharpdim) able,
(E flatdim) (C major) (A minor) I know he cheats (E major) at card (G major) s
(A minor) And (C major) his foot (E flat major) prints (F sharpdim) are (F sharp minor) not found (E flat minor) in
(C major) any (A minor) files of Scot (E major) land Yard's (D major) (A minor)
(E major) And (Cdim) when the (F sharpdim) larder's looted
(Cdim) or the jewel case is rifled
Or when the milk is missing or an
(F sharpdim) other peke's been (E major) stifled
Or the (A minor) greenhouse glass (G major) is broken
(Gsus4) and the (F sharpdim) trellis past repair
(F major) (A minor) There's the wonder (C major) of the (A minor) thing (A major) (D major) Macavity's not
(A major) there! (E major)
Verse 6
(A minor) (F sharpdim)
Macavity, Macavity, there's (D major) no
one like (E flatdim) Macavity
There (A minor) never was a (F sharpdim) cat of such
de (D major) ceitfulness and (E flatdim) suavity
He (A minor) always has (C major) an alib (A minor) i and
(F sharpdim) one or two to (F major) spare
What ever (E major) time the (A minor) deed took
(F major) place Macavity's not (A minor) there!
Verse 7
And they say that (Cdim) all the (E flatdim) cats whose
(Cdim) wicked deeds are widely (F sharpdim) known
I might mention (D major) (G major) Mungojerrie, I might
(C major) mention (B flat major) (E major) Griddlebone
Are (A minor) nothing more than (G major) agents for the
(F sharpdim) cat who all the time (Fdim)
Just con (E major) trols the operations: the Napolean of
(E major) (A minor) crime! (C major)
Verse 8
Macavity, Macavity, there's (D major)
no one like (A minor) Macavity
He's a fiend in (C major) feline shape,
a (D major) monster of de (E flatdim) pravity
You may (A minor) meet him in a by- street,
you may (F sharpdim) see him in the square (F major)
But (E major) when a crime's dis (A minor) covered
then (E major) Macavity
(F major) Macavity, Macav (B flat major) ity, Macav (E major) ity
Verse 9
When (A minor) (Gsus4) (F sharpdim) (F major)
a crime's
discovered then Macavity's not there!
