Verse 1
D 
Macavity's a mystery cat, he's
called the Hidden Paw
Ebdim 
E 
Am 
For he's the master criminal,
C 
D 
Ebdim 
who can defy the law
E 
Am 
G 
He's the bafflement to Scotland Yard,
F#dim 
F#m 
E 
the Fly      ing Squad's despair
D 
For when they reach the scene of crime,
Am 
F#dim 
Am 
Macavity's not there.
F#dim 
Ebm 
Am 
E 
Am 
Macavity, Macavity,
D 
there's no one like Macavity.
Am 
He's broken every human law,
D 
Ebdim 
he breaks the law      of gravity.
Am 
His paws of levitation
D 
would make a fakir stare
E 
And when you reach the
Am 
scene of crime
Macavity's not there
Adim 
You may seek him in     the basement
Cdim 
You may look up in the air
Ebdim 
Cdim 
D 
E 
D 
But I tell you once and once again
E 
Macavity's not there
Am 
Macavity's a ginger cat
D 
Ebdim 
He's very tall and thin
Am 
D 
You would know him if you saw him,
his eyes are sunken in
E 
Am 
His brow is deeply lined with thought,
his head is highly domed
D 
His coat is dusty from neglect,
his whiskers are unconed
Cdim 
Ebdim 
He sways his head from side to side
G# 
Am 
F# 
with movements like a snake
Ebdim 
F#dim 
Am 
And when     you think
E 
he's half asleep,
Am 
E 
he's always wide awake
Am 
Macavity, Macavity,
D 
there's no one like Macavity
Am 
But he's a heathen of feline shape,
D 
Ebdim 
a monster of depravity
D 
Am 
You may meet him in the by street,
D 
Ebdim 
you may see him in the square
D 
E 
D 
But when the crime's discovered,
Am 
D 
then Macavity's not there
Am 
F#dim 
F#m 
F#dim 
He's outwardly   respect able
Cdim 
C 
Am 
E 
Am 
But    I know he cheats at cards,
E 
Am 
and his footprints
F#dim 
F#m 
are not found
F#dim 
Eb 
C 
Am 
in any file of
E 
Scotland Yards.
E 
Ebdim 
F#dim 
Am 
And when     the lot      is looted
Cdim 
Ebdim 
Ebm 
Cdim 
or the jewellery case  is rifled,
C 
F# 
or when the milk is missing
Am 
E 
C 
Or another beak's been stifled
Am 
Or the greenhouse glass is broken
D 
F#dim 
F 
And the trellis pass repair
E 
There's the wonder of the thing
E 
Macavity's not there
Am 
Macavity, Macavity
D 
Ebdim 
There's no one like Macavity
Am 
There never was a cat
D 
Of such deceitfulness and swervity
Am 
He al  ways has an alibi
D 
Ebdim 
And one or two to spare
E 
But there's a time the deed took place,
Macavity wasn't there
Am 
Ebdim 
Ebm 
And   they say that all      the cats
Am 
Ebdim 
F# 
whose wicked deeds are wildly   known
F#m 
D 
E 
I     might mention Mungojerry,
Rumbleteasel,
Am 
Griddlebone
Are nothing more than agents
D 
F 
for the cat who all the time
E 
Just controls the operations,
E 
Am 
the Napoleon of crime
Macavity, Macavity,
D 
Ebdim 
there's no one like Macavity
Am 
He's a fiend, a feline shape,
D 
Ebdim 
a monster of depravity
E 
Am 
You may meet him in the 5th street,
D 
F#dim 
F 
you may see him in       the square
E 
But when a crime's discovered,
then Macavity's not there
