The  horse, Is a noble  Beast,
 From the mustang  from the west,
 To the Stallion  to the east.
 But the horse  has a distant cousin,
 It lives  i do not know where,
 But its message  of racial harmony,
  /  (hammer on 3rd fret on the
 when playing )
 Is one that we all can share.
   (  optianal)
 Hats off to the zebra,
 He is black  and white,
He  doesnt fight  because there not  very good at it.
 In a world  of confusion,
 We all  need a sign
 If only  we could live side  by side,
 like the stripes  on a zebras spine.
 Hat's off to the  Zebras,
The  humble badger,
 Takes a  sip of mornin' dew
 But he's  totally colour blind,
 So he  cant judge you.
 But the  badger is a dreamer
 The badger  has a plan
 He knows  that his destiny  is to  help  his fellow man.
Hats  of to the badgers,
 They are black  and white
 and they  dont fight,
 except for mating  rights and territory.
 Black  man and a white man,
 Both  they need to shave,
 United  by the badger  brush
 Hes helping  from beyond the grave.
 Hats off to the badger
 What about the  tapir
 half zebra  half pig-a
 imagine  the 'stig-ma
 but the  tapir stands proud
 hats off to the tapir.
Badgers  and zebras,
 Skunks..  Oh yeah,
 And ring  tailed lemurs
Living together
 In  harmony
 And if the.. Killer  whales can do it,
  (repeat intro)
 why cant we.
 Thats it...

[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.

      [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]not[Em7] 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]rip[Em7]es 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] he[Em7]lp his fellow m[D]an.

[N.C.]Hats of to the b[G]adgers,
They are b[Cmaj7]lack and whit[G]e
and t[Cmaj7]hey dont figh[G]t,
except for m[Em]ati[Em7]ng 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]elp[Em7]ing 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
[C]Living [G]together
In[Em] ha[Em7]rmony
And if the.. K[D]iller whales can do it,
   (repeat intro)
why cant we.

Thats it...
