A - E - Bm - - D - D/C - A
A E
City dweller, successful fella
Bm D
Thought to himself, "Oops, I've got a lot of money" (lot of money)
D/C A
Caught in a rat race terminally
E
I'm a professional cynic but my heart's not in it
Bm D
I'm paying the price of living life at the legal limit (to the limit)
D/C A
Caught in the century's anxiety
E
Yes it preys on him (preys on him)
He's getting thin (getting thin) {tricycle life}
[Chorus 1]
A E7 E - Eb
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
D A
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
A E7 E - Eb
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
D A
Oh, it's like an animal farm, lots of rural charm in the country
A E7
He's got morning glory and life's a different story
Bm
Everything's going jackanorry
D D/C A
Touched with his own mortality
A E
He's reading Balzac and knocking back Prozac
Bm D
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
D/C A
Oh, it's the century's remedy
E
For the faint at heart
E
A new start (new start) {tricycle life}
[Chorus 2]
A E7 E - Eb
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
D A
He's got a fog in his chest, so he needs a lot of rest in the country
A E7 E - Eb
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh, takes herbal baths in the country
D A
But you'll come to no harm on the animal farm in the country
E
In the country (Doo doo doo)
E
In the country (Doo doo doo)
E
In the country-y-y!
[Instrumental solo: A - E - Bm - - D - D/C - A ] Repeat twice
A E Bm D D/C
Blow, blow me out I am so sad I don't know why (x2)
[Chorus 1 & 2]
A E7 E - Eb
Oh, he lives in a house, a very big house in the country
D A
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
A E7 E - Eb
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
D A
Oh, it's like an animal farm, lots of rural charm in the country
A E7 E - Eb
Oh, he lives in a house, a very big house in the country
D A
He's got a fog in his chest, so he needs a lot of rest in the country
A E7 E - Eb
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh, takes herbal baths in the country
D A
Yes you'll come to no harm on the animal farm in the country
Ooh la la la
