Mr Mistoffelees Chords

   
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:

  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!
