A E City dweller, successful fella Bm D Thought to himself, "Oops, I've got a lot of money" (lot of money) D/C# C# Caught in a rat race terminally A E I'm a professional cynic but my heart's not in it Bm D I'm paying the price of living life at the limit (to the limit) D/C# C# Caught up in the century's anxiety E Yes, it preys on him (preys on him) E He's getting thin (getting thin) {Try a simple life}

A E7 E D# He lives in a house, a very big house in the country D A Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country A E7 E D# He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country D A Oh, it's like an animal farm, lots of rural charm in the country

A E7 He's got morning glory and life's a different story Bm D Everything's going Jackanory (Jackanory) D/C# C# Touched with his own mortality A E He's reading Balzac and knocking back Prozac Bm D It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland D/C# C# Oh, it's the century's remedy E For the faint at heart E A new start (new start) {Try a simple life}
[Chorus 2]
A E7 E D# He lives in a house, a very big house in the country D A He's got a fog in his chest, so he needs a lot of rest in the country A E7 E D# He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh, takes herbal baths in the country D A But you'll come to no harm on the animal farm in the country E In the country (Doo doo doo) E In the country (Doo doo doo) E In the country-y-y!
