guitar chords lyrics
SONG: Mr. Mistoffelees
ARTIST: Andrew Lloyd Webber
From the musical, Cats
[spoken]
You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees
The original Conjuring Cat
C
The greatest magicians have something to learn
From Mr. Mistoffelees's conjuring turn
Presto!
And we all say:
F - C/E - Gm7 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
C7 - F - F/A - A# - A#/C -
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!
F - C/E - Gm7 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
C7 - F - F/A - A# - A#/C -
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!
F - G# -
He is quiet, he is small, he is black
A# - F -
From his ears to the tip of his tail
F - G# -
He can creep through the tiniest crack
A# - G# -
He can walk on the narrowest rail
A# - G# -
He can pick any card from a pack
C# - F -
He is equally cunning with dice
A# - F -
He is always decieving you into believing
D# - C7
That he's only hunting for mice
C7
He can play any trick with a cork
C7
Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste
C7
If you look for a knife or a fork
C7 -
And you think it is merely misplaced
C
You have seen it one moment, and then it is gone!
C7
But you find it next week lying out on the lawn!
And we all say:
F - C/E - Gm7 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
C7 - F - F/A - A# - A#/C -
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!
F - C/E - Gm7 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
C7 - F - F/A - A# - A#/C -
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!
F - G# -
His manner is vague and aloof
A# - F -
You would think there was nobody shyer
F - G# -
But his voice has been heard on the roof
A# - G# -
When he was curled up by the fire
A# - G# -
And he's sometimes been heard by the fire
C# - F -
When he was about on the roof
A# - F -
(At least we all heard that somebody purred)
D# - C7
Which is incontestable proof
C7
Of his singular magical powers
C7
And I've known the family to call
C7
Him in from the garden for hours
C7 -
When he was asleep in the hall
C
And not long ago this phenomenal cat
C7
Produced seven kittens right out of a hat!
And we all say:
F - C/E - Gm7 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
C7 - F - F/A - A# - A#/C -
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!
F - C/E - Gm7 -
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
C7 - F - F/A - A# - Dm
A cat so clever as magical Mister Mistoffelees!
Ladies and gentlemen
I give you the marvelous
Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!
Presto!
