[G#] [F#] [F]
[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 [E] multiplying and they're walking around like flies, man.
[D] So I'm no better than the animals [A] sitting in the cages in the zoo, man.
Cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the [E] trees, I am [A] an ape, man.
I think I'm so educated and I'm so [E] civilized cause I'm a strict vegetarian.
[A] Cause with the homo population and the oppression and [E] starvation and the crazy politicians.
[D] I don't feel safe in this world, no, [A] God.
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.

But give me half a chance and [E] I'll be taking off my [Em] clothes and living in the jungle.
[D] Cause the only [Bm] time that I feel at [A] ease is swinging up and down in a coconut tree.
Oh, what a life of luxury [E] to be like an [A] ape, man.

[Bm] [A] Now come on [E] now, me.
