THE ANIMAL SONG
(Savage Garden)


Hints:
The most difficult SG song there is. If you get this, you are better than I am :)
 For guitar... try playing with a capo first fret. And whatever instrument, feel
 free to simplify the chords... I have two different sheet music versions-- who
 knows which is right!
Congrats bassists, I've added a part for you! The only part missing from the tabs
 is a tab for the bridge, but it is too complicated to tab out, so if you just
 wing it, it will be fine.
