The Animals

Verse: It's best to play this song with bass accompaniment, but you can do the bass part on guitar like so: (repeat through verses) E -------------------- B -------------------- G -------3-2-0-------- D ---5---------3------ A -3---3-------------- E -------------------- occasionally, the guitar kicks in (listen for timing): E -5--6--8-- B -5--6--8-- G -6--7--9-- D ---------- A ---------- E ---------- Chorus: alternate between E ----------------- B -10--3--5-------- G -10--3--5-------- D -10--3--5-------- A --8--1--3-------- E ----------------- (obviously, you can do the at the 6th and 8th frets if you prefer, but this way you can add a bit of slide) and E -------------------- B -10--12------------- G -10--12------------- D -10--12--10--------- A --8--10--10--------- E ----------8--------- then, over "girl, there's a better life...", strum and hold: E -1-- B -3-- G -2-- D -0-- A ---- E ---- and then repeat 2x before returning to the verse (single strums): E -------------------- B -10--8--3--5-------- G -10--8--3--5-------- D -10--8--3--5-------- A --8--6--1--3-------- E --------------------
