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.

 

Intro: Eb(C) / F (D) / Eb(C) / F (D)// x2

 

Verse 1:

G (E) Eb (C)

Animals we are,

 

Cm (Am) G (E)

Disposable, collapsible and raw,

 

Eb(C) Cm (Am)

In you go into some crowded room,

 

G (E) Eb (C)

And animals that climb,

 

Cm (Am) G (E)

And they're climbing over you until you say,

 

Eb (C) Cm (Am)

"Off you go, off you go,"

 

Verse 2:

G (E) Eb (C)

Animal I am

Cm (Am) G (E)

And I'm looking for an answer just like you,

Eb (C) Cm (Am)

I should know which way to turn,

G (E) Eb (C)

An animal that runs

Cm (Am) G (E)

And I ran away from you because I'm scared,

Eb (C) Cm (Am)

"Off you go, off you go,"

 

 

Chorus:

Ebmaj7 (C) F (Dadd11)

If you're gonna go, go now,

Ebmaj7 (C) F (Dadd11)

If you're gonna go, go now,

Ebmaj7 (C) F (Dadd11)

I forgot to tell you now,

Ebmaj7 (C) F (Dadd11)

So if you're gonna go,

[G (E)]

Go now,

 

Link: [G (E)] / Eb (C) / Eb (C) / Cm (Am) //

 

Verse 3:

G (E) Eb (C)

Animal you are,

Cm (Am)

Disposable, defenceless yes and,

G (E) Eb (C) Cm (Am)

Watch your mouth; boys watch your mouth,

G (E) Eb (C)

An animal that runs,

Cm (Am)

And I made all my excuses to you,

G (E) Eb (C) Cm (Am)

And I missed my chance by a stones throw,

 

Chorus:

Ebmaj7 (C) F (Dadd11)

If you're gonna go, go now,

Ebmaj7 (C) F (Dadd11)

If you're gonna go, go now,

Ebmaj7 (C) F (Dadd11)

I forgot to tell you now,

Ebmaj7 (C) F (Dadd11)

So if you're gonna go,

[G (E)]

Go now,

 

 

Bridge: [G (E)] / Eb (C) / Eb (C) / Cm (Am) x4

 

Final Section:

G (E)

Now crumble,

Eb (C)

Crumble and fall,

Cm (Am)

Crumble and fall like an animal,

G (E)

Yes I crumble,

Eb (C)

Crumble and fall,

Cm (Am)

Crumble and fall like an animal,

G (E)

Yes I crumble,

Eb (C)

Crumble and fall,

 

Cm (Am)

Crumble and fall like an animal,

G (E)

Yes I crumble,

Eb (C)

Crumble and fall,

Cm (Am)

Crumble and fall like an animal,

 

G (E) / Eb (C) / Eb (C) / Cm (Am) // x4

 

It goes on for a bit after that with about 6 times through with

the G / Eb / Eb / Cm/ chord sequence, its just piano, and sum weird effects.

 

Chords for the guitar version capo 3rd fret

 

G (E) 022100

Eb (C) x32010

Cm (Am) x02210

F (Dadd11) x54030 (You can just play a normal D 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

chorus because you can slide up and down between the C and D chords, rather than

taking your hand away and making it sound a bit mechanical)
