Notes:- Thanks Richard! I love this song! 
 
I think the chord in 'And her lovin' comes on so strong ' Should be a G instead of a C - any  
thoughts? 
 
 
 
{intro} 
Bm A G F#m Em 

Bm A G F#m Em 
 
Bm          A        G 
It's a sunny Sunday 
   F#m                   Em 
but we don't want to get out of bed 
Bm               A        G 
So we unplug the telephone 
F#m                     Em 
we got better things to do instead 
Bm      A      G 
There's no one home 
   F#m        Em   D/F# 
nobody with a name 
 
{chorus} 
Em              D/F#     Em 
We're just like animals 
           D/F#    C 
just like animals 
                     G      D/F# 
rolling and tumbling on and on 
Em        D/F#     Em 
Just like animals 
   D/F#     C 
we rise and fall 
                     C     D 
and her loving comes on so stong 
 
{NO CHORD} 

just like animals 
 
It's a long, long Monday 

working my fingers down to the bone 

When I get a little minute 

I call her up on the telephone 

She says Hurry Home 

Please, hurry home 
 
{chorus} 
 
{Harmonica solo} 
 

Em D/F# X4 

Bm A G F#m Em X2 
 

Driving through the crosstown traffic 

no matter how I try, every single light 

turns to red 

So I turn up the radio 

watch her dancing inside my head 
 
{chorus} 
 
{outro} 
Em D/F# X4 

Bm A G F#m Em  
 
 
 
Each Em chord has added bit, played on G & D strings  
(where ^ is a wee bit of bending):
