Jam Along & Learn...
[Am] [A]
Tweeter and the monkey man [G] were hot up for cash.
[F] They stayed up all night [Am] selling cocaine and cash.
To an undercover cop who [G] had a sister named Jan.
[F] For reasons unexplained she [Am] loved the monkey man.
Tweeter was a bus cop [G] before she went to Vietnam.
[F] And found out the hard way [Am] nobody gets a damn.
They knew to take my freedom just [G] across the Jersey line.
So [F] they hopped into a stolen [Am] car from Highway 99.
And the walls came down
[Em] all the way to hell.
[D] Never saw them when they're standing, [Am] never saw them when they fell.
[A] The undercover [G] cop never liked the monkey man.
[F] Even back in childhood he wanted [Am] to see him in the can.
Jan got married at 14 [G] to a wreck of a chick named Bill.
She [F] made secret talks to the monkey man [Am] from a mansion on the hill.
It was out on Thunder Road, [G] Tweeter had no wheel.
[F] They crashed into paradise, [Am] they could hear them tires speel.
The undercover cop pulled up and [G] said, everyone is a liar.
[F] If you don't surrender now it's [Am] gonna go down to the wire.
And the walls came down [Em] all the way to hell.
[D] Never saw them when they're standing, [Am] never saw them when they fell.
[A]
[D] [A]
[D] [A] An [Am] ambulance rolled up, a [G] straight trooper clopped behind.
[F] Tweeter took his gun away [Am] and messed up his mind.
The undercover cop was left [G] tied up to a tree.
[F] Near the souvenir stand by the old [Am] abandoned factory.
Next day the undercover cop was [G] a hot in pursuit.
[F] He was taking the whole thing personal, he [Am] didn't care about loot.
Jan had told him many times [G] it was you to me who taught.
[F] The jersey isn't legal [Am] as long as you don't get caught.
And the walls came down [Em] all the way to hell.
[D] Never saw them when they're standing, [Am] never saw them when they fell.
[A]
[D] [A]
[D] Some place by a railway prison, [G] they ran out of gas.
[F] The undercover cop had cornered them and said,
[Am] huh, you didn't think your death could last.
Jan jumped up out of bed, [G] said there's someplace I gotta go.
[F] She took her gun out of the drawer [Am] and said it's best if you don't know.
The undercover cop was found [G] face down in a field.
[F] The monkey man was on the river bridge [Am] using Tweeter as a shield.
Jan said to the monkey man, [G] I'm not cool about this girl.
[F] I knew him long before he ever [Am] became a jersey girl.
And the walls came down [Em] all the way to hell.
[D] Never saw them when they're standing, [Am] never saw them when they fell.
[A]
[D] [Am] [A]
[D] [Am] Now the town of Jersey City [G] is quieting down again.
[F] I'm still in a gambling club [Am] called the Lion's Den.
The TV set was blown up, [G] every bit of it is gone.
[F] Ever since the nightly news show [Am] that the monkey man was on.
I guess I'd go to Florida [G] to get myself some sun.
[F] There ain't no more opportunity [Am] here, everything been done.
Sometimes I think of Tweeter, [G] sometimes I think of Jan.
[F] Sometimes I don't think about nothing [Am] but the monkey man.
And the walls came down [Em] all the way to hell.
[D] Never saw them when they're standing, [Am] never saw them when they fell.
And the walls came down [Em] all the way to hell.
[D] Never saw them when they're standing, [Am] never saw them when they fell.
