Bobby Darin - If I Could Talk To The Animals Chords

[N] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ [C] If I could talk to the [F] animals, just imagine it, [Bb] chatting with a chimp and _ chimpanzee.
Imagine [Eb] talking to a tiger, [F] chatting [Dm] with a [G] cheetah, what a neat [C] achievement it would [Cm] be.
_ [Dm] If we could [Eb] talk to the [F] animals, learn all their languages, [Bb] maybe take an animal degree.
_ I'd study elephant and eagle, _ [Dm] buffalo and [G] beagle, _ alligator, [Cm] guinea pig and flea.
[F]
I would converse in [Bb] polar bear and python, _ [Ab] and I would curse in [Bb] fluent kangaroo.
[Gm] If people asked me, can you speak [F]
rhinoceros, I'd say, of [C] corsaris, _ can't you?
If I [Eb] conferred with our furry [F] friends, and the animals, [Bb] think of the amazing repartee.
_ If I could [Eb] walk with the animals, [Dm] talk with the [G] animals, [Eb] crunch and [D] squeak [Gm] and squawk
with the animals, _ and [Eb] they could talk [Bb] to _ me. _ _ _ _ _
If I consulted with [Gb] quadrupeds, think what fun we'd have asking over [B] crocodiles for tea.
Or [E] maybe lunch with two or [Gb] three lions, walruses [Ab] and sea lions, what a [Db] lovely place the world would [Gb] be.
If I [E] spoke slang to [B] orangutans, the advantages why any fool on earth could plainly see.
_ _ Discussing eastern [Gb] orton dramas with intellectual llamas, that's a [Db] big step forward, [Gb] you'll agree.
I'd learn to [B] speak in antelope and turtle, [E] and my [A] Pekingese would be [E] extremely good.
If I [B] were asked to sing in [Gb] hippopotamus, I'd [Db] say, why none of us?
And I would, [Gb] if I could parley with pachyderms, [E] it's a fairy tale worthy [B] of Hans Anders _ Mendrim.
A man who walks with the animals, [Ebm] talks with the animals, [E] grunts [Eb] and squeaks and squawks
with [Db] the animals, _ and [E] they could _ talk to [B] _
_ him.
[G] Let me hear a song. _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ I'd study [Gm] every _ [E] creature's [F] language, so I could [Bb] speak to [G] all of them on sight.
_ If friends said, [C] can he talk in [Ebm] crab or maybe pelican, you'd say, [Dm] like hell he can, and
you'd be right.
[Gm] And if you just stop and think a bit, [G] ain't no doubt of it, I'm gonna win a place [C] in history.
_ [Dm]
If I could walk with the [G] animals, talk with the animals, grunt, [E] squeak, squawk with [Gb] the
animals, [Dm] and they could _ [G] squeak and squawk and speak [C] _ _ and _ talk to _ [Fm] me. _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
