Someone told me
A7
It's all happening at the zoo
D7
I do believe it
G G/F# Em
I do be- lieve it's true
Em G/F# G
Mm-mh- mh
G G/F# Em
Mm-mh- mh
Em G/F# G
Whoa-oa- oah
G G/F# Em
Mm-mh- mh
[Verse 1]
Em G/F# G Em
It's a light and tumbled journey
Em G/F# G G/F# Em
From the East Side to the park 4/4 6/4
Em G/F# G G/F# Em | D7 | % |
Just a fine and fancy ramble to the zoo
[Verse 2]
G G/F# Em
But you can take the crosstown bus
G G/F# Em
If it's raining or it's cold
G/F# G G/F# Em A6
And the animals will love it if you do ...

The monkeys stand for honesty
G/F# G G/F# Em
Gi- raffes are insin- cere,
G/F# G G/F# Em | D7 | D7 D7/F# |
And the elephants are kindly but they're dumb
[Outro]
G G/F# Em
Orangutans are skeptical
G G/F# Em
Of changes in their cages
G G/F# Em | G G/F# | Em |
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum
G G/F# Em
Zebras are re- actionaries
G G/F# Em
Antelopes are missionaries
G G/F# Em
Pigeons plot in secrecy
G G/F# Em
And hamsters turn on frequently
G G/F# Em
What a gas, you gotta come and see
| G G/F# | Em |
At the zoo
| G G/F# | Em |
At the zoo

Did you actually type "and so on"? On a chords site? It's a pet peeve of mine when people start to tab out a song, and then they just cut and paste lyrics, and instruct us to just extrapolate the chords from the first verse and chorus they tabbed out. Because it's chords site, not a lyrics site. There are already lots of lyrics sites. There's an autoscroll feature on this site because a lot of people are using this site to 'read' the music as they go. But you have taken it one step further. . . you didn't even cut and paste the lyrics! You just typed "and so on"! That's the first time ever ever seen that level of laziness on this site.

The / in the chords tells you what bass note to play. For example, G/F# means you play a G chord with an F# in the bass.

You fer sure got the chords right and I appreciate that. The Amaj7 / A7 / D7 intro is pretty unique and it would have taken me a lot of trial and error to figure it out on my own. Unlike the other commenter I think it's ok to say "and so on" ... because it's pretty much a done deal at that point ... G/F# and Em all the way out. Thanks.
