Animals
Coldplay
Transcribed by Tom Donovan
I've seen some really rubbish transcriptions of this song and I'm not quite
sure where they got the chords from to be honest so I decided to do one myself.
This is basically a Chord Transcription for Piano Players, but it sounds really
cool if you put a capo on the 3rd fret and play it on acoustic guitar. I've put
the chords for this in brackets next to the concert pitch chords.

Animals we are,
() ()
Disposable, collapsible and raw,
() ()
In you go into some crowded room,
() ()
And animals that climb,
() ()
And they're climbing over you until you say,
() ()
"Off you go, off you go,"
() ()
Animal I am
() ()
And I'm looking for an answer just like you,
() ()
I should know which way to turn,
() ()
An animal that runs
() ()
And I ran away from you because I'm scared,
() ()
"Off you go, off you go,"
() ()
If you're gonna go, go now,
() ()
If you're gonna go, go now,
() ()
I forgot to tell you now,
() ()
So if you're gonna go,
[ ()]
Go now,

Animal you are,
()
Disposable, defenceless yes and,
() () ()
Watch your mouth; boys watch your mouth,
() ()
An animal that runs,
()
And I made all my excuses to you,
() () ()
And I missed my chance by a stones throw,
() ()
If you're gonna go, go now,
() ()
If you're gonna go, go now,
() ()
I forgot to tell you now,
() ()
So if you're gonna go,
[ ()]
Go now,

Final Section:

Now crumble,
()
Crumble and fall,
()
Crumble and fall like an animal,
()
Yes I crumble,
()
Crumble and fall,
()
Crumble and fall like an animal,
()
Yes I crumble,
()
Crumble and fall,
()
Crumble and fall like an animal,
()
Yes I crumble,
()
Crumble and fall,
()
Crumble and fall like an animal,

It goes on for a bit after that with about 6 times through with
the / / / / chord sequence, its just piano, and sum weird effects.

() x54030 (You can just play a normal chord but I have a bit of an
obsession with this chord so I put it in. Its also better in the intro and the
taking your hand away and making it sound a bit mechanical)
