[B]
[F#m] Ricky's [B] been kicking the gall
[G#m] Lickety [C#]-split didn't take too [F#] long
[A] The junk [D] is sick
[G#m] A monkey's [C#] strong
[D#m] That's what's [B] wrong
[F#m] Well, I guess he's [B] been messing around downtown
[G#m] So sad [C#] to see the [F#] man losing ground
[A] [D] Winding down [G#m] behind [C#] closed doors
[D#m] Mama
[B] don't
[D] you call him [A] my name?
He [E] can't hear you
[B] anymore
[Bm] Even [D] if he seems [A] the same to you, [E] that's a stranger [C#m] to the door
[F#]
[D] Go on ask him [A] what's it come here [B] for?
[F#m] My [B] god a monkey [E] can move him in
[G#m] Send him [C#] to hell [F#] and home again
[A] An empty [D] hand in [G#m] the [C#] afternoon
Shooting [D#m] for [B] the moon
It's
[F#m] halfway [B] sick and [E] it's halfway stoned
[G#m] Sure like [C#] to kick, but [F#] it's too far gone
[F#m] Winding [D] down with the [G#] methadone
[C#]
[F#] He's all [D#m] on his [B] own
[D] But baby, don't you throw your [A] love away?
[E] I hate to [F#] see one [B] time
[D] It's only that I
[A] understand
Man, that's a [E] monkey can [C#m] leave behind.
[F#] I used [D] to think he [A] was a friend [B] of mine
