[Intro]

(So the story begins)
 
[Verse]
A                       E
City dweller successful fella
 Bm
Thought to himself: "Oops, I've got a lot of money"
  D             (DbBass)        Db
I'm caught in a rat race terminally 
  A
I'm a professional cynic
  E
But my heart's not in it 
  Bm
I'm paying the price of living life at the limit 
  D             (DbBass)        Db
Caught up in the century's anxiety
   E
It preys on him, he's getting thin 
 
[Chorus]
        A
Now he lives in a house a very big house in the country
         D                                              A
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country 
                                                                E7   Eb
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country 
              D                                             A     Ab
Oh, it's like an animal farm that's the rural charm in the country
 
[Verse]
He's got morning glory and life's a different story
Everything's going Jackanory Touched with his own mortality
He's reading Balzac, knocking back Prozac
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
Oh, it's a century's remedy For the faint at heart A new start
 
[Chorus]
(Try the simple life)   He lives in a house A very big house In the country
He's got a fog in his chest So he needs a lot of rest In the country
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh Takes herbal baths In the country
You should come to no harm On the animal farm In the country
 
[Bridge]
A             E               D                 A
Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why
