At The Zoo, Simon & Garfunkel chords
Start Jamming...
[A] told me it's all happening at the zoo.
[D] I do believe [G] it, I [Em] do believe it's true.
[G] [Em]
[G] [Em]
[G] It's a light and [Em] humble journey [G] from the east side [Em] to the park, [G] just a fine [Em] fancy ramble
[D] through the zoo.
[G] But you [Em] can take a cross town [G] bus if it's raining [Em] or it's cold
[G] and the [Em] animals will love it [A] if you're here.
[Em] If you're here now, [A]
[Em] [A]
something tells me it's all
at the zoo.
[D] I do believe [G] it, I do [Em] believe it's true.
[G] [Em]
[G] [Em] The [E]
[G] monkeys [Em] stand for [F#] honesty, the [G] rats [Em] are insincere [G] and the [Em] elephants are kind, [G] but they're
[D] dumb.
[Am]
[G] [Em] Orangutans are skeptical [G] of changes [Em] in their cages, [G] and the [Em] zookeeper is very fond of rum.
[G] [Em] Secrets are [G] reactionaries, [Em] antelopes are [G] missionaries,
pigeons [Em] love their secrecy, and hamsters turn on [G] frequently.
What the [Em] hell?
[G]
I'm a zoo.
I'm a zoo.
I'm a zoo.
[N]
