the animals Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]We went up the mountain
Last [C]Friday night
[Am]All of the animals
Were out in [C]plain sight
They didn't [G]bid us to follow them
They didn't hiss us [C]away
No, [Am]to us, my love
They had nothing to say
[D]

[Verse 2]
And while [G]you saw the tremor
And you saw the wings
You saw the [F]glistening white teeth
I was busy with things in [Am]my mind
[C]Things that I [Am]tend to
As though to sur[D]vive

[Verse 3]
I'm not [G]proud I was asking you
Do you dim [C]yourself down?
Do you say [Am]terrible things about me
When I'm not [D]around?
You sweep [C]a hand through the clearing
Say can't you see?
There ain't [Am]anything
threatening you here
Least of all [D]me

[Verse 4]
Put [G]your life on the easel
There, right next to mine
We ain't [F]living like weasels
We don't have the time, never [Am]will
[C]All of the [Am]creatures made [G]for
the dark woods
Whooping, that's what I heard
What if the [F]easel fell over
And the paintings were burned to a crisp?
[Am]

[Verse 5]
Nights like [C]these I can't [Am]quite tell
A fear from a [D]wish
