Animals - Coldplay
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I spent a while trying to find some chords which sounded right to me when played
along with the song, and to put it simply; I cant. Without taking my guitar a
couple of steps down, anyway (see note at end of tab). I THINK the chords are as
follows, but you have to bar them up if using standard tuning, which makes them
sound a bit wrong.
If you play this way, think of the Eb as a 'D#' (raise a D by barring the whole
first fret, may require some practice- 3,4,3,1,1,1) and Cm is 3,4,5,5,3,3.

Animals we are
Disposable
Collapsable and raw
In you go
In to some crowded room
and Animals that climb
and they're climbin' over you
Until you say
"Off you go, off you go"
- - - (x2)
Animal I am
and I'm looking for an
answer just like you,
but I should know
which way to turn,
An animal that runs
And I ran away from
you because I'm scared,
"now 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 how
so If you gonna go, go now
- - - (x2)
Animal you are
disposable
defenseless
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
Chorus again
End bit-
crumble and fall,
Crumble and fall,
Crumble and fall like an
animal, (all x4)
G - B - Eb - Cm (chord pattern to end)
---
If you want it to sound better and dont mind messing about with your tuning,
take it down 2 steps (put a capo on second fret and tune that to standard,
then take capo off) and play with the following chord shapes-
Play the G in an A shape with the new tuning
Play the B in an C shape " " " "
Play the Eb as an F shape (or an Fmaj7, leaving the High E open, not fret 1)
Play the Cm as a Dm shape
For the chorus, either play the F as a G shape, or slide the Eb up 2 frets.
Sorry that may come across as very confusing, but I couldn't be bothered to
tab out the song again with new 'relative to 2 steps down' chords. Just mess
around with it with a guitar in your hands and song in the background and you'll
get it no problem.
