Hats Off to the Zebras Bill Bailey
First off i couldnt believe how nobody before me has put this tab on the web.
Its an amazing song by an amazing artist.

The chords are
G 320033
Cmaj7 032033
D 000232
Em/Em7 022033 (you can play either, its just easiet to keep the fingers on the 3rd)
Intro
[G] [Cmaj7] [G]
add the slide after the G and kick out of the slide on the Cmaj7
E|-------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------| G|----------------4/5----5/7/5---------------| D|-------------------------------------------| A|----------------2/3----3/5/3---------------| E|-------------------------------------------|
Verse
[G]The horse, Is a [Cmaj7]noble Beast,
From the [D]mustang from the west,
To the St[Cmaj7]allion to the ea[G]st.
But the [Cmaj7]horse has a distant cousi[G]n,
It li[Cmaj7]ves i do not know whe[G]re,
But its m[Cmaj7]essage of racial harm[G]ony,
Em/Em7 D (hammer on 3rd fret on the
when playing D)
Is one that we all can share.
Chorus
G (Cmaj7 optianal)
Hats off to the zebra,
He is b[Cmaj7]lack and whi[G]te,
[Cmaj7]He doesnt fig[G]ht because there [Em/Em7]not very good at i[D]t.
In a w[Cmaj7]orld of confusi[G]on,
We [Cmaj7]all need a si[G]gn
If on[Cmaj7]ly we could live si[G]de by side,
like the st[Em/Em7]ripes on a zebras [D]spine.
Hat's off to t[G]he Zebras,
[G]The humble badger,
Takes a[Cmaj7] sip of mornin' dew
But he's[D] totally colour blind,
So [Cmaj7]he cant judge yo[G]u.
But th[Cmaj7]e badger is a dream[G]er
The [Cmaj7]badger has a pla[G]n
He k[Cmaj7]nows that his de[G]stiny is to[Em/Em7] help his fellow m[D]an.
Chorus
N.C. G
Hats of to the badgers,
They are b[Cmaj7]lack and whit[G]e
and t[Cmaj7]hey dont figh[G]t,
except for m[Em/Em7]ating rights and territ[D]ory.
Bla[Cmaj7]ck man and a white m[G]an,
Bot[Cmaj7]h they need to sha[G]ve,
Uni[Cmaj7]ted by the [G]badger brush
Hes h[Em/Em7]elping from beyond the [D]grave.
Hats off to the b[G]adger
What about t[Cmaj7]he tapir[G]
half z[Cmaj7]ebra half pi[G]g-a
i[Cmaj7]magine the [G]'stig-ma
but the[Cmaj7] tapir stands pro[G]ud
hats off to the [Cmaj7]tapir.[G]
[Cmaj7]Badgers and ze[G]bras,
Sk[Cmaj7]unks.. Oh y[G]eah,
And [Cmaj7]ring tailed l[G]emurs
[Cmaj]Living tog[G]ether
In[Em/Em7] harmony
D (strum)
And if the.. Killer whales can do it,
(repeat intro)
why cant we.
Thats it...
