_ _ _ _ _ _ I remember I wrote a song about a guy [Gbm] named Tweeter.
_ [Bb] _ _
I [Eb] thought that was an odd [N] request.
_ I went along with it, okay.
[Am] And he goes, and he needs us, somebody else [D] needs us.
I said, how about the [N] monkey man?
He said, _ right, you know.
And we started working on this song.
He said, I think the song ought to be set,
be a [G] story set in New Jersey.
[N] _ _ And I said, okay, well, set it in New Jersey.
_ [Bb] He said, I think we ought to say something about Bruce [N] Springsteen.
I said, _ _ _ _ well, that makes sense.
We'll mention Bruce Springsteen.
_ _ Then the English guys in the band said, we're leaving.
This is too American.
_ _ So they actually left, and we sat there the rest of the afternoon
and finished this song up.
It's called Tweeter and the Monkey _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ Man.
_ _ _ _ [G] We [Em] turned his lair.
[F] They hopped in the [G] whistling [Am] car.
The car went mad and mad.
And the walls came down. _ _ _ _
[Em] All the way to hell. _ _ _
[D] There was something with his [Am] head.
And there was something with his head.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [Am] _ _ _
So I [G] got a monkey man.
[F] He was a man in [Am] childhood.
He wanted to see if he could hear.
He came around the age of 14 [G] to a man who didn't even know him.
[F] He made secret calls to the [Am] monkey man from a man he didn't know.
It was an hour on the road.
[G] He had a little wheel.
[F] The wheel crashed into his [Am] head.
And he said, oh, God, who does [G] it ever would have used a lighter?
[F] If you don't submit me [Am] now,
Everything turned upside down.
The wire and the walls came down. _ _ _ _
[Em] All the way to hell. _ _ _
[D] There was something with his head.
[Am] And there was something with his head.
_ _ _ [D] The [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [Am] _ _ _
monkey man's older.
The [G] age of a grown [F] man.
The wheel came [Am] around.
The girl was mad.
The old girl's car was left [Em] tied up to a tree.
[F] He was sitting near a [Am] stand by an old abandoned factory.
The old man's car was tied [G] _ _ [F] up.
He stood in a little green [Am] busk.
Now, he didn't care about the moon.
He turned to one of the towns.
There [G] was a little blue car [F] in Jersey.
He said, [Am] hey, you better run, cause you don't get caught.
And the world came down. _ _ _ _
[Em] All the way to hell. _ _ _
[D] The old man saw the moon yesterday.
[Am] And he never saw the moon again. _

[Em] The blue car went to prison.
The [G] baby ran out of gas.
[F] The music of a car was growing.
[Am] The disappointment came in his head.
He had no power back.
And he [G] saw a face like a girl.
[F] She took a gun out of her [Am] drawer.
Said, it's busy, don't come home.
The old girl's house was found.
[G] The old man walked up to the inside of the field.
[F] The monkey man was on the [Am] bridge.
He was on the bridge.
He _ walked up to the monkey man.
[G] How the hell would that finish the deal?
[F] When he was [Am] old, he became a Jersey girl.
And the world came down. _ _ _ _
[Em] All the way to hell. _ _ _ _
[D] The old man saw the [Gb] moon yesterday.
[Am] And he never saw the moon again.
