Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Faug]
[G][D][Am]
[C]So [Em]the s[B]tory begins

[Verse 1]
[G]City dweller, suc[D]cessfull fella
[Am]Thought to himself
"Oops, I've got a lot of mon[C]ey
Caught in a [Em]rat race, terminal[B]ly
I'm a pro[G]fessional cynic but my [D]heart's not in it
I'm [Am]paying the price of living life at the lim[C]it
Caught up in the [Em]century's anxi[B]ety"
Yes, it [D]preys on him (preys on him)
He's getting thin
Try the simple...

[Chorus 1]
He [G]lives in a house,
a very big house in the [D]country
Watching [C]afternoon repeats
and the food he eats in the [G]country
He takes all [G]manner of pills
and piles up analyst bills in the [D]country
Oh, it's like an [C]animal farm,
lots of rural charm in the [G]country

[Verse 2]
He's got [G]morning glory
and [D]life's a different story
[Am]Everything's going jackanory
[C]Touched with his own[Em] mortali- [B]ty
He's [G]reading Balzac, [D]knocking back Prozac
...a [Am]helping hand
that makes you feel wonderfully [C]bland
Oh, it's the [Em]century's reme[B]dy
For the [D]faint at heart (faint at heart)
A new start
Try the simple...

[Chorus 2]
He [G]lives in a house,
a very big house in the [D]country
He's got a [C]fog in his chest,
so he needs a lot of rest in the [G]country
He doesn't [G]drink, smoke, laugh,
takes herbal baths in the [D]country
But you'll [C]come to no harm
on the animal farm in the [G]country
[D]in the country
In the country

[Solo 1]
In the country
[G][D][Am]
[C][Em][B]
[G][D][Am]
[C][Em][B]

[Bridge 1]
[G]Blow, blow me [D]out, I am so [C]sad,
I don't know [G]why?
[G]Blow, blow me [D]out, I am so [C]sad,
I don't know [G]why?

[Chorus 3]
Oh, he [G]lives in a house,
a very big house in the [D]country
Watching [C]afternoon repeats
and the food he eats in the [G]country
He takes all [G]manner of pills
and piles up analyst bills in the [D]country
Oh, it's like an [C]animal farm
lots of rural charm in the [G]country

[Chorus 4]
Oh, he [G]lives in a house,
a very big house in the [D]country
He's got a [C]fog in his chest,
so he needs a lot of rest in the [G]country
He doesn't [G]drink, smoke, laugh,
takes herbal baths in the [D]country
But you'll [C]come to no harm
on the animal farm in the [G]country

[Interlude 1]
Ooh, la, la,
[G](la)[D]
(I wanna [C]be)[G]
[Repeat and fade]
