Christmas At The Zoo

song : christmas at the zoo by : flaming lips album : "clouds taste metallic . i think these are right . . . they sound ok to me on the recording the verses chords are mostly just picked through . . . this , at least , appears to be the progression that the lips use use . they might be using less conventional chords in the Verse . but Chorus wise , i think they are just power chords . either way . this seems to be their progression . feel free to upload additions or fix any mistakes . - jayson tab : Intro seems to just be lingering on the E Verse : E their wasn’t any snow on christmas eve C#m and i knew what i should do , A E i thought i’d free the animals F#m B all locked up at the zoo i opened up the fence where the peacocks were , the lamas were unleashed the snakes and seals could all get out , but they refused to leave . . . . ( on B they build up using octave intervals ) Chorus : E all of the animals agreed they’re not A happy at the zoos C#m G#m A E but they preferred to save themselves , F#m B they seemed to think they could . . . the elephants , orangutans , all the birds and kangaroos all said thanks but no thanks man , but to be concerned is good . . . instrumental : same as Verse | E | C#m | A E | F#m B | Chorus : it started to snow on christmas eve in the middle of the night walking through the state park zoo and everything is white . . . | E | A | C#m G#m A E | F#m B | E notes transposed into C ( for easier playing i wrote out the chords transposed into C just copy and replace ) E F# G# A B C# D# C D E F G A B
