[Chorus]
 G                             D     G                           D
I’m a cat, I’m a cat, I’m a Glasgow cat and my name is Sam the Skull
           D                                                             C    G
I’ve got claws on my paws like a crocodile’s jaws, and a heid like a fermers bull
    G                                                            C

     D                                                       C    G
I’m the kind of cat that strangles rats, and even the occasional dug

[Verse 1]
         G                                                     D
Well, I roam aroon doon Shettlestoon and they all know me by sight
  D                                                                        C       G
It’s the Skull, It’s the Skull, you can hear them yell, as they vanish in tae the night
      G                                               C
The Polis Station doon oor way has bars on the windy sill
      D                                         C    G  D    G
It’s no to keep the prisoners in, it’s to keep oot Sam the Skull

[Chorus]
G                               D   G                           D

     D                                                       C    G
I’m the kind of cat that strangles rats, and even the occasional dug

[Verse 2]
     G                                                     D
Well,one fine day no so long ago, they all had had their fill
 D                                              C    G
They sent fur the R.S.P.C.A. to come and catch the Skull
    G                                                                         C

Peein on the stairs, scratchin his erse and sittin there pickin his nose

[Chorus]
G                               D    G                           D
I’m a cat, I’m a cat, I’m a Glasgow cat and my name is Sam the Skull
           D                                                             C    G
I’ve got claws on my paws like a crocodile’s jaws, and a heid like a fermers bull
    G                                                            C

     D                                                       C    G

[Verse 3]
       G                                                              D
Well, oot came the men aboot half past ten, in their wee blue Escort van
 D                                                               C      G
Right roon the back, one had a sack, and the other had a mallet in his hand
    G                                                                            C
I watched them run doon the back of the hoose, then I casually strolled tae the van
   D                                             C   G    D   G
I jumped in the front and I was off, everything had gone tae plan

[Chorus]
G                               D    G                           D
I’m a cat, I’m a cat, I’m a Glasgow cat and my name is Sam the Skull
           D                                                             C    G
I’ve got claws on my paws like a crocodile’s jaws, and a heid like a fermers bull
    G                                                            C

     D                                                       C    G
I’m the kind of cat that strangles rats, and even the occasional dug

[Verse 4]
     G                                                                          D
Well Ye can hear them say, doon Shettleston way, Whatever happened to Sam the Skull?
 D                                                                     C      G
He had claws on his paws like a crocodile’s jaws, and a heid like a framer’s bull.
    G                                                                 C
You can tell them for me that I’m still running free, never a day is dull
   D                                                    C    G     D    G
It might sound absurd, but I’m livin’ wi’ a burd, in a single en' in Maryhill

[Chorus]
G                               D    G                           D
I’m a cat, I’m a cat, I’m a Glasgow cat and my name is Sam the Skull
           D                                                             C    G
