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
