Intro: Am G F D  (4x)
 
 
     Am   G       F              D 
Like his dad you know that he's had 
Am         G       F         G 
animal nitrate in mind 
              Am     G       F              D 
Oh in your council home he jumped on your bones 
            Am         G         F 
now you're taking it time after time 
 
                 C   F    C   F     Am  G       F 
Oh it turns you ooo-oon, ooo-oon... now he has gone 
                   C   F    C   F     Am       G       D 
Oh what turns you ooo-oon, ooo-oon, now your animal's gone? 
 
     Am   G       F              D 
Well he said he'd show you his bed 
           Am               G       F       G 
and the delights of the chemical smile 
            Am      G       F              D 
So in your broken home he broke all your bones 
                 Am        G         F 
and now you're taking it time after time 
 
                 C   F    C   F     Am  G       F 
Oh it turns you ooo-oon, ooo-oon... now he has gone 
                   C   F    C   F     Am  G       F 
Oh what turns you ooo-oon, ooo-oon, now your animal's gone?

                               C   F    C   F     Am  G       F 
What does it take to turn you ooo-oon, ooo-oon... now he has gone? 
                       C   F    C   F   Am        G       F 
now you're over twenty-oo-one, oo-one? now your animal's gone? 
      C      F      C   F     Am  G       F 
...Animal, he was animal, an animal... 
      C      F      C   F     Am  G       F 
...Animal, he was animal, an animal...
