IMPORTANT INFO:
The (D/F#) is suggested by a passing F# bass note,
it is not intended to be played as a full chord.
The same for the asterisked G * and Em * shapes too,
it's just the bass note only, as part of the
bass note progression

Amaj7                                    A7
      Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo,
D7                   G    G *  D/F# Em
    I do believe it, ...I do   be - lieve it's true,
Em *  D/F#  G     G *   D/F#  Em
Mmm - mmm - mmm!  Mmm - mmm - mmm!

Woh - oh,   oh - oh!  Mmm - mmm - mmm!
 
[Verse 1]
Em *     D/F# G         G *   D/F# Em
    It's a    light and tum - ble  journey,
Em *  D/F# G         G *  D/F# Em
From  the  East Side to   the  park,
Em *  D/F# G        G *   D/F# Em            D   D7
Just  a    fine and fan - cy   ramble to the zoo
 
[Verse 2]
G              G *  D/F# Em
   But you can take the  crosstown bus,
Em *  D/F#  G        G *  D/F# Em
If    it's  raining, or   it's cold,
Em * D/F# G     G *  D/F# Em             A6
And  the  ani - mals will love it if you do,
       Em7    A6    Em7
If you do now

    I do believe it, ...I do   be - lieve it's true,
Em *  D/F#  G     G *   D/F#  Em
Mmm - mmm - mmm!  Mmm - mmm - mmm!
Em *  D/F#  G         G *   D/F#  Em
Woh - oh,   oh - oh!  Mmm - mmm - mmm!
 
[Verse 3]
Em *  D/F#  G       G *   D/F# Em
      The   monkeys stand for  honesty,
Em *  D/F#   G   G *  D/F#  Em
Gi  - raffes are in - sin - cere,
Em * D/F# G    G *    D/F# Em                 D    D7
And  the  ele- phants are  kindly but they're dumb

Of    changes in   their cages,
Em * D/F# G          G * D/F# Em   Em *  D/F# G
And  the  zoo-keep - er  is   very fond  of   rum

Ante - lopes are   mission - ai  - res,
G       G *  D/F# Em      Em *
Pigeons plot in   secre - cy,
D/F#  G        G *  D/F# Em         Em *
And   hamsters turn on   frequent - ly,
     D/F# G     G *     D/F#  Em       Em *
What a    gas!      You gotta come and see,
