[B] [G#] [N] .
[D] [C#m] [D] [A] .
I think I'm sophisticated because I'm living my life [E] like a good homo sapien.
[A] But all around me everybody's multiplying [E] 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.
But compared to the flowers and the birds and the [E] trees, I am an [A] ape, man.
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized [E] because I'm a strict vegetarian.
[A] The grid of homo population and the depression and starvation [E] and the greedy 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 shore [E] and make [A] like an ape, man.

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

I wanna get out of this city [E] alive and make like [A] an ape, man.
[D] La, la, la, la, [A] la, la, la.
[Bm] .
[A] Come [E] on and love me.
Be my [A] ape, man, girl.
