_ Tweeter and the monkey [G] man were hot up for cash
[F] They stayed up all night [Am] selling cocaine and hash
To an undercover cop who [G] had a sister named Jan
[F] For reasons unexplained [Am] she loved the monkey man
Tweeter was a boy scout, [G] boy she went to Vietnam
[F] And found out the hard way [Am] nobody gives a damn
They knew that they found freedom [G] just across the Jersey line
[F] So 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 stammed and [Am] never saw them when they fell
_ _ [G] [E] The [Am] _ _
undercover [G] cop never liked the monkey [F] man
Even back in childhood he [Am] wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at 14 [G] to a rat that she didn't even feel
[F] She made secret talk to the monkey [Am] man from a mansion on the hill
They was out on Thunder Road, [G] Tweeter had the wheel
[F] They crashed into paradise, [Am] they could hear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up and [G] said, everyone is a liar
[F] If you don't surrender now, [Am] it's gonna go down to the wire
And the walls came down, _ _ _ _ [Em] all the way to hell
_ _ _ [D] Never saw them when they stammed and [Am] never saw them when they fell
_ [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ [Am] _ An ambulance rolled up, [G] a straight trooper closed 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 [Am] old abandoned factory
_ Next day the undercover cop [G] was a hot in pursuit
[F] He was taking the whole thing personal, he [Am] didn't care about the loot
_ Jan had told him many times, [G] it was you to me who talked
[F] There's a jersey, anything's 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 stammed and [Am] never saw them when they fell
_ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Am] _ 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 this could last
Jan jumped up out of bed, [G] said there's some place I gotta go
[F] She took a gun out of the drawer, [Am] 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 [Am] bridge using Tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the monkey man, [G] I'm not cool about Tweeter's 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 stammed and [Am] never saw them when they fell
[A] Now _
_ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Am] _ the town of Jersey City [G] is quieting down again
[F] I'm still in a gambling club [Am] called a 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] and get myself some sun
[F] There ain't no more opportunity [Am] here, everything's 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 stammed and [Am] never saw them when they fell
And the walls came down, _ _ _ _ [Em] all the way to hell
