Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun.

Verse 2:
Crazy cat peekin' through a lace bandanna,
Like a one-eyed Cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack.
A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle,
To a double-E waterfall over my back.
China cat!
China cat!
China cat!
Scratching at my door.
At this point, the whole tune modulates from G to E.
Play Bob's intro part starting on Fret 9 of the B string.

Verse 3:
Comic book colors on a violin river
Cryin' Leonardo, words from out a silk trombone.
I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls,
In the eagle-winged palace of the Queen Chinee.
China cat!
China cat!
China cat!
Scratching at my door.
