The Kinks – Animal (Guitar)

D                    G          A           D
On reflection, it was not all wine on the wall

        G      A          Bm
It was not all cuts and bruises

A
Or the pulling out of hair And the bloodying of nose

A                                 A7
And the tearing off of clothes, although

         D     A   G  A    D   A   G
It was really animal,    truly animal

           D          G        D     A      G   D/F#   Em   A
There were times when there was absolute compassion in the air

             D     A   G  A  D   A   G    A
Though it was really animal, truly animal

           D      G        D     A
It could not compare to times we cared

         G     D/F#      Em   A      D
And were in control and less emotional

G         A            G        A
While the intellect controls the spiritual

G         A            G        A
The animal respects what's natural

G         A            G        A
Yin and yang control man's actions

Em                             A
And both extremes are a natural reaction

         D     A   G  A   D   A   G    A
It was really animal,     truly animal,

                 D          G        D     A
Well there were times when there was absolute

G   D/F#   Em       A
compassion in the air

D                    G          A           D
On reflection it was not all crash and bang

        G      A          Bm
Broken bottles and abuse

           G               A          Bm
Sometimes there were sunsets on the sands

        G      A          Bm
Holding onto caring hands

A
But there were vampire fangs

A
As the angels sang

A                     A7
It was yin and yang, oh yeah

         D     A   G  A            D   A   G    A
It was truly natural, though it was really animal

          D    G     D        A    G   D/F#      A
In a sense it fell into a truly natural romance

A7         D     A   G  A            D   A   G    A
 It was really animal,            truly animal

           D          G        D     A      G    D/F#      Em   A
There were times when there was absolute compassion in the air

G     D/F#    Em    D      G   D/F#    Em      A
True love,   true love,   true love is really  animal
