I am an Animal - Pete Townshend
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Pete Townshend
From: "Empty Glass" (1980)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Don't know if Townshend uses a capo here. But for a single player it seems
helpful to use a transposed version with a capo to match the original key.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capo: 2nd fret
Play: D
Key: A
For chords in original key, transpose +2
