INTRO:  A5 G5 D5 A5  A5 G5 D5 A5

E5                                    A5
This world is big and wild and half insane
E5                               A5
Take me where real animals are playing
       E5         A5                 E5         A5
Just a dirty old shack, where the hound dogs bark
        G5          D5              A5       D5
That we called our home, I wanna be back there
          G5        D5             A5            D5
Among the cats and dogs and the pigs and the goats

CHORUS:
           A5    G5            D5    A5
On animal farm    my animal home  
           A5    G5            D5    A5
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:
A5           D5    A5                 G5        D5
Girl it's a hard hard world if it gets you down
A5            D5        A5        G5       D5
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


           A5  G5  D5  A5
On animal farm
         A5  G5  D5  A5
Animal farm
