[Verse 1]E
If you're free tomorrow,
don't make any plans
(don't make any plans)
E
We can go to Sylvan
Park and kick over
trash cans
E
Love is all around me,
everywhere I turn
E
Is that the smell of
fall or the city burned?
[Chorus 1]E
There's a mustang
in the city
And it's callin'
me out
C#m
Are you a mustang
or a kitty?
What are you all
about?
[Verse 2]E
There's a golden globe
in my office space
E
A muscle magazine
next to the toilet
C#m
I'm getting big and
A
strong just thinking
E
about it (uh-uh)
C#m
And I can feel the
BA
heat of the water rise
[Chorus 2]E
Oh, there's a mustang
in the city
And it's callin' me out
C#m
Are you a mustang
or a kitty?
What are you
all about?
[Verse 3]E
I saw 'em operating
on a kid downstairs
E
I could not be bothered
to pretend to care
E
I like to watch you eat
in front of the camera
C#m
And there's a misty
BA
mornin' in your eye

[Chorus 3]E
Oh, there's a mustang
in the city
And it's callin' me out
C#m
Are you a mustang
or a kitty?
What are you all about?
E
It's just a mistake
and a pity
It's drownin' the crowd
C#m
Are you a mustang
or a kitty?
A mustang or a kitty?
[Bridge]EC#m
There was somethin'
BA
amiss in your apology
[Chorus 4]E
Oh, there's a mustang
in the city
And it's callin' me out
C#m
Are you a mustang

What are you all about?

It's a mistake
and a pity
Dragging me down
C#m
You a mustang or a kitty?
A mustang or a kitty?

How to play Mustang: key, chords and progression
These are Mustang chords by Kings of Leon on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
Mustang by Kings of Leon is built around E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), with 4 chords in all: E, C#m, A and B.
The progression the song keeps returning to is E – C#m – B – A (I – vi – V – IV in E major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – soh – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, Bm, G, A (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
