[B] [G#] [N]
[D] [C#m] [D] [A]
I think I'm sophisticated, cause I'm living my life [E] like a good homo sapien.
[A] But all around me everybody's multiplying [E] and they're walking around like flying man.
[D] So I'm no better than the animals [A] sitting in their cages in the snow man.
Cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the [E] trees, I am an [A] ape.
I'm so educated and I'm so [E] civilized cause I'm a strict vegetarian.
[A] With a global population and inflation and [E] starvation and the crazy politicians.
[D] I don't feel safe in this world no more.
[A] I don't wanna die in a nuclear war.
I wanna sail away to a distant shore [E] and make like an ape [A] man.
[B] [A] I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, [E] no I'm an ape man.
[A] I'm a king kong man, I'm a voodoo man, [E] no I'm an ape man.
[D] Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky, [A] compared to the clouds that say raribai.
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and [E] flies, I am an [A] ape man.
[D] [A]
[E] [A] [E] [A] In man's evolution [E] he's created the city and the motor traffic [A] rumble.
But give me half a chance and I'll [E] be taking off my clothes and [Em] living in the jungle.
[D] Cause the only time that I feel at ease [A] is swinging up and down in a coconut tree.
Oh what a life of luxury [E] to be [A] like an ape man.
I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, no [E] I'm an ape man.
[A] I'm a king kong man, I'm a voodoo man, no [E] I'm an ape man.
[D] I look out the window but I can't see the sky.
[A] The apple ocean is a-fuckin'-up my eyes.
I wanna get out of this city alive [E] and make like [A] an ape man.
[D] La la la la [A] la la la
[Bm]
[A] Come [E] on and love me, be my [A] ape man girl and [E] we'll be so happy [A] in my ape man world.
[E] [D] [C#] [A] I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, [E] no I'm an ape man.
[A] I'm a king kong man, I'm a voodoo man, no [E] I'm an ape man.
[D] I'll be your towel and you'll be my jean.
[A] I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane.
We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day, [E] just like [A] an ape man.
I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape [E] man, no I'm an ape man.
[A] I'm a king kong man, I'm a voodoo [E] man, no I'm an ape man.
[D] I don't feel safe in this world no [A] more.
I don't wanna die in a nuclear war.
I wanna sail away to a distant [E] shore and make like an [A] ape man.
