Tuning: E A D G B E

The Hotelier - Soft Animal Besides the intro riff, I think the whole song is mainly three chords, so it's a pretty simple song, but here are the chords so you can play it and sing at the same time.

^Cadd9We were cloaked in the awning of ^G/Bnight or ^D/Aearly morning.   ^Cadd9Through the headboard there’s a flicker of ^G/Blight  and^D/A light warning.   ^Cadd9Sophie’s on the bunk over^G/Bhead reading ^D/AMary Oliver   ^Cadd9while I lay still in my ^G/Bbed.  That’^D/As when I see you there.  

^Cadd9Fawn doe, ^G/Blight ^D/Asnow.   ^Cadd9Make me feel alive,  make me b^G/Believe that all my^D/A selves align.   ^Cadd9Fawn, doe, ^G/Blight ^D/Asnow. ^Cadd9 Spots on brown of white  make me ^G/Bbelieve that it i^D/As all alright.  

^Cadd9Your soft face pressed to the ^G/Bwilt, ^D/A first spring sunrise   ^Cadd9standing low on quivering ^G/Bstilts.^D/A   ^Cadd9In attempting to keep you to ^G/Bstay I am ^D/Araising no alarm. Cadd9 G/B D/A  It is just us two alone.   Then I feel a ^Cadd9sigh of wind, your raising eyes  a^G/B rolling fog that^D/A lets you hide   and ^Cadd9I can hear the rustling as you ^G/Bgo. ^D/A Oh, go slow.  

^Cadd9Fawn doe, ^G/Blight ^D/Asnow.   ^Cadd9Make me feel alive,  make me b^G/Believe that I don’t^D/A have to die.   ^Cadd9Fawn, doe, ^G/Blight ^D/Asnow. ^Cadd9 Spots on brown of white  make me ^G/Bbelieve that there’s ^D/Aa God sometimes.   

^Cadd9The ring around your mothers heart  grow^G/Bs saccharine then^D/A falls apart   and ^Cadd9I can hear the rustling as you ^G/Bgo.   ^D/A ^Cadd9You camouflaged or clearly seen  and^G/B nameless in the^D/A in-between   and ^Cadd9I can hear the rustling as you ^G/Bgo.   ^D/A The ^Cadd9firing of rifles off  the^G/B echo hits yo^D/Au hard enough   and ^Cadd9I can hear the rustling as you ^G/Bgo. ^D/A  A^Cadd9 soft and skittish self inside^G/B  shines golden, op^D/Aal, chrysolite   and ^Cadd9I can feel the rustling as you ^G/Bgo.   O^D/Ah, go slow.  Cadd9 G/B D/A A mob a voices harmonize  and tell me that youre not alive   but ^Cadd9I can feel the rustling as you ^G/Bgo. ^D/A
