ANIMAL FARM

INTRO:  A G D A  A G D A

E                                    A
This world is big and wild and half insane
E                               A
Take me where real animals are playing
       E         A                 E         A
Just a dirty old shack, where the hound dogs bark
        G          D              A       D
That we called our home, I wanna be back there
          G        D             A            D
Among the cats and dogs and the pigs and the goats

CHORUS:
           A    G            D    A
On animal farm    my animal home
           A    G            D    A
On animal farm    my animal home

While I lay my head upon my pillow
Little girl can play beneath my window
Though she's far from home, she is free from harm
And she need not fear, she is by my side
And the sky is wide, so let the sun shine bright ...CHORUS

BRIDGE:
A           D    A                 G        D
Girl it's a hard hard world if it gets you down
A            D        A        G       D
Dreams often fade and die in a bad bad world

I'll take you where real animals are playing
And people are real people not just playing
It's a quiet quiet life, by a dirty old shack
That we called our home, I want to be back there
Among the cats and dogs and the pigs and the goats ...CHORUS

           A  G  D  A
On animal farm
         A  G  D  A
