R.E.M.

It's a hanging day, in Wolfcity (?), Wyoming,
in Wolfcity, Wyoming, in 1894
There's gonna drop Cat Balou
(silence) C
Right through the gallows floor
Well she killed a man in Wolfcity, Wyoming,
In Wolfcity, Wyoming
She killed a man, it's true
And that is why they're hanging
(silence) C
They're hanging Cat Balou
She has the smile of an angel
She fights like the devil
The eyes of an angel
She fights like the devil
The face of an angel
I say she's the devil
She's mean and evil through and through
Cat Ballou, Cat Ballou
She's mean and evil through and through
Then there came to town
A gun deadly and frightening
A gun quicker than lightning
The fastest gun you've seen
G (silence)
It was the gun in the hand of
Steely Kitchelean (???)
Just one look at him
And folks starting to shake
Wild, wild as a snake
Proud and fierce and mean
G (silence)
There was no man who was tougher
As tough as Kitchelean
He had the eyes of a killer
As cold as the devil
The look of a killer
The look of the devil
The face of a killer
That man was the devil
Just wild and ornery and mean
Kitchelean, Kitchelean
The fastest gun you've ever seen
(repeat the same chords as before)
Then she road away
Just to where now was a mystery
But Cat roamed into history
Lent (?) her legend rule
She was the queen of the outlaws
Her highness Cat Balou
Cat Balou, Cat Balou
And now the story is all through
Cat Balou, Cat Balou
Say farewell to Cat Balou
