White Houses - Animals
A G D E x 2
A G D E
White houses in neat little rows contrasting against the sky
A G D E
Tumbled down black shacks over the tracks children so hungry they could cry
A G D E
The chrome the steel the metal dream leaving the teepee to rot
A G D E
The escapist young mind left behind saving dimes for community pot
A G D
You better get straight
E A G
Better, better get straight
D E A G
I mean you better get straight right now
D E A G D E
Better get it, you better, better get straight babe
A G D E
They're crying out for love all the time but they fail to see their
neighbours eyes
A G D E
The TV is on 6 o'clock news the channel's in full colored lies
A G D E
The company meets, the President speaks he's young but his bones creak
A G D E
Young girl dresses for the high school dance and the guy next door is dyin'
for a peek
A G
Get straight
D E A G
You better, yeah, you better get straight babe
D E A G
Oh did you get what I said, I said to you
D E A
That you, you better, you better get angry
G D E
You better, you better get straight
SOLO (32 bars)
A G D E
They put a bible in the drawer of the motel room and it's crying out to be read
A G D E
But it stays right there collecting dust, no one understands what's being said
A G D E
Lovers make love in comfy boxes, what will tomorrow bring
A G D
E
They've been told that it's wrong but they don't give a damn, soon another
life it will bring
A G
You better get straight baby
D E A G
Yeah you, you better get straight baby
D E A G
Oh and I think I better get myself to get it babe
D E A G
You know what I mean I been bent so very long
D E
I wanna fly right, I wanna do it alright
etc.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ANIMALS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
