[D]
[A] [E]
The monkey [D] man was harder for cash.
[A] They stayed up all night [E] selling cocaine and hash.
To an undercover cop who [D] had a sister named Jan.
[A] The reasons unexplained, [E] she loved the monkey man.
He was a boy from the South [D] Coast, he went to Vietnam.
[A] Down down the highway, [E] nobody gives a damn.
People would take their freedom, [D] they crossed the Jersey line.
[A] People were stolen, [E] highway 99.
The walls came down,
[D] all the way to hell.
[A] Never saw them when they're standing, [E] never saw them when they fell.
The undercover cop, [Dm] never liked the monkey [A] man.
Even back in high school, [E] wanted to see him in a can.
Then he got married at 14, [A] to a racketeer named Bill.
Mixed up the plans with the monkey [E] man, and he landed on the hill.
Once out on Thunder Road, [D] with a rack and wheel.
[A] Pulled into Paradise, [E] with a guillotine wheel.
He told me many [D] times, he was cute to me to talk.
[A] Peace and everything's legal, [E] man, as long as you don't get caught.
Then the walls came down,
[D] all the way to hell.
[A] Never saw them when they're standing, [E] never saw them when they fell.
[G] [E]
The police car went crazy, [Dm] it ran out of gas.
[A] The undercover cop told her [E] things, she didn't think this was last.
She took off her bed, [Dm] said there's some place I gotta go.
[A] She took the gun out of the [E] drawer, said it's just what you don't know.
She missed Roewell, [A] stayed super close behind.
She made a foolish [E] runaway, and messed up his mind.
The undercover cop was [D] found face down in a field.
[A] The monkey man was on the river [E] bridge, clear as a field.
Then the walls came down,
[D] all the way to hell.
[A] Never saw them when they're standing, [E] never saw them
[A] [G]
[E] [A] [Em]
[A] [E]
[A] [G]
[E]
when they fell.
The counter-intrusive stick, [D] sliding down again.
[A] I'm sitting in a gambling [E] club called the lion's den.
You see the city's blown up, [Dm] every bit of it is gone.
[A] Ever since the night when they showed [E] up, this monkey man was on.
Hey, I'm gonna throw it up, [D] get myself some sun.
[A] There ain't no more opportunity [E] here and everything's been done.
Sometimes I think it's weed up, [D] sometimes I think it's jam.
[A] Sometimes I don't think about it, I [E] feel like a monkey man.
Then the walls came down,
[D] all the way to hell.
[A] Never saw them when they're standing, [E] never saw them when they fell.
