[Intro - same as first four lines of verse]
[G] [D] [Am] [Am] [C] [Bm] [B7] [B7]
[G]City dweller, success[D]ful fella
[Am]Thought to himself, oops, I’ve got a lot of money
[C]Caught in a [Bm]rat race terminal-ly[B7]
I'm a pro[G]fessional cynic but my [D]heart’s not in it
I'm [Am]paying the price of living life at the limit
[C]Caught up in the [Bm]centuries anxiety[B7]
Yes, it [D]preys on him, he’s [D7]getting thin (so simple)
Now he [G]lives in a house, a very big house in the [D]country
Watching [C]afternoon repeats And the food he eats in the [G]country
He takes all [G]manner of pills And piles up analyst bills in the [D]country
Oh, it’s like an [C]animal farm Lots of rural charm in the [G]country [pause]
He’s got [G]morning glory, and [D]life’s a different story
[Am]Everything’s going Jackanory
[C]In touch with his [Bm]own mortality[B7]
He’s [G]reading Balzac and [D]knocking back Prozac
It’s a [Am]helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully
[C]Bland, oh, it’s the centu[Bm]ries remedy[B7]
For the [D]faint at heart, a [D7]new start (so simple)
He [G]lives in a house, a very big house in the [D]country
He’s got a [C]fog in his chest
So he needs a lot of rest in the [G]country
He doesn’t [G]drink, smoke, laugh
He takes herbal baths in the [D]country
Yes you’ll [C]come to no harm... on the animal farm in the [G]country
[D]In the country... in the country... in the country!
