------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Animals - Coldplay ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tabbed by: b34r5 Email: b34r5@hotmail.com I spent a while trying to find some chords which sounded right to me when played along with the song, and to put it simply; I cant. Without taking my guitar a couple of steps down, anyway (see note at end of tab). I THINK the chords are as follows, but you have to bar them up if using standard tuning, which makes them sound a bit wrong. If you play this way, think of the Eb as a 'D#' (raise a D by barring the whole first fret, may require some practice- 3,4,3,1,1,1) and Cm is 3,4,5,5,3,3. Eb - F - Eb - F (x2) G (320003@1) BAnimals (x2444x@1)we are Eb (x43121@3) Disposable Cm (x3101x@1) GCollapsable (320003@1)and raw BIn (x2444x@1)you go Eb (x43121@3) CmIn (x3101x@1)to some crowded room G (320003@1) Band (x2444x@1)Animals that climb Eb (x43121@3) Cmand (x3101x@1)they're climbin' over you GUntil (320003@1)you say B (x2444x@1) Eb (x43121@3)Cm"Off (x3101x@1)you go, off you go" G - B - Eb - Cm (x2) G (320003@1) BAnimal (x2444x@1)I am Eb (x43121@3) and I'm looking for an Cm (x3101x@1) Ganswer (320003@1)just like you, B (x2444x@1)but I should know Eb (x43121@3) Cm (x3101x@1)which way to turn, G (320003@1) B (x2444x@1)An animal that runs Eb (x43121@3) And I ran away from Cm (x3101x@1) Gyou (320003@1)because I'm scared, B (x2444x@1) Eb (x43121@3) Cm (x3101x@1)"now Off you go, off you go," Eb (x43121@3) FIf (133211@1)you're gonna go, go now Eb (x43121@3) FIf (133211@1)you're gonna go, go now Eb (x43121@3) FI (133211@1)forgot to tell you how Eb (x43121@3) F (133211@1) so If you gonna go, go now G - B - Eb - Cm (x2) Animal you are disposable defenseless yes and Watch your mouth boys, watch your mouth an animal that runs and i made all my excuses to you and i missed my chance by a stones throw Chorus again End bit- Gcrumble (320003@1)and fall, BCrumble (x2444x@1)and fall, Eb (x43121@3) Crumble and fall like an Cmanimal, (x3101x@1) (all x4) G - B - Eb - Cm (chord pattern to end) --- If you want it to sound better and dont mind messing about with your tuning, take it down 2 steps (put a capo on second fret and tune that to standard, then take capo off) and play with the following chord shapes- Play the G in an A shape with the new tuning Play the Bin (x2444x@1)an Cshape (x32010@1) " " " " Play the Eb as an F shape (or an Fmaj7, leaving the High E open, not fret 1) Play the Cm as a Dm shape For the chorus, either play the F as a G shape, or slide the Eb up 2 frets. Sorry that may come across as very confusing, but I couldn't be bothered to tab out the song again with new 'relative to 2 steps down' chords. Just mess around with it with a guitar in your hands and song in the background and you'll get it no problem.
