Me And My Monkey Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Dm][Dm]
[G][G][F][F]
[Am][Am][Dm][Dm]
[G][G][F][F]

[Verse 1]
There [Am]was me and my monkey
And with [Dm]his dungarees and roller blades
smoking fil[G]ter tips
Reclining in the passenger seat
of my super-charged jet [F]black Chevrolet
He had [Am]the soft-top down
He liked [Dm]the wind in his face
He said [G]'Son, you ever been to Vegas?'
I said 'no'
He said 'that's where we're gonna go,
you [F]need a change of pace'
[Am]And we hit the strip
with all [Dm]the wedding chapels
and the neon signs
He said [G]'I left my wallet in El Segundo'
and proceeded to [F]take

[Pre-chorus 1]
two grand of mine
[Em]We made tracks
to The Mandalay [Dm]Bay Hotel
[Em]Asked the bell boy if he'd take me
and my [Dm]monkey as well?
[Em]He looked in the passenger seat of my car
And with a [Dm]smile he said
[Em]'If your monkey's got that kind of money sir,
then we've [E]got a monkey bed!'

[Chorus 1]
[Am]Me and my monkey
[Dm]With a dream and a gun
[G]I'm hoping my monkey
don't [F]point that gun at anyone
[Am]Me and my monkey
Like Butch [Dm]and the Sundance Kid
[G]Trying to understand
why he [F]did what he did
Why he did what he did

[Verse 2]
And at [Am]the elevator,
I hit [Dm]the 33rd floor
We had a room [G]up top
with the panoramic views
Like nothing you'd e[F]ver seen before
[Am]He went to sleep in the bidet
[Dm]and when he awoke
He ran his [G]little monkey fingers
through yellow pages
Called up some escort services
and [F]ordered some okey doke

[Verse 3]
[Am]Forty minutes later there came a[Dm]
knock at the door
In walked this [G]big bad ass baboon
into my bedroom with [F]three monkey whores
[Am]'Hi! My name is Sunshine,
[Dm]these are my girls
[G]Lace my palm with silver baby
and oh yeah,
[F]they'll rock your world'

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Em]So I watched pay-per-view
and polished [Dm]my shoes and my gun
[Em]Was diggin' old Kurt Cobain
singing [Dm]'bout lithium
[Em]There came a knock at the door
and in [Dm]walked Sunshine
'What's up?
[Em]You'd better get your ass in here boy,
your monkey's having too [E]much

[Chorus 2]
of a good Time!'
[Am]Me and my monkey
Drove [Dm]in search of the sun
[G]Me and my monkey
Don't [F]point that gun at anyone
[Am]Me and my monkey
[Dm]Like Billy the Kid
[G]Trying to understand
Why he [F]did what he did

[Verse 4]
Why he did what he did
[Am]Got tickets to see Sheena Easton,
[Dm]the monkey was high
[G]Said it was a burning ambition to see her
[F]before he died
[Am]We left before encores,
[Dm]he couldn't sit still
[G]Sheena was a blast baby
but [F]my monkey was ill

[Verse 5]
[Am]We went to play black-jack,
kept [Dm]hitting twenty three
[G]Couldn't help but notice this Mexican
[F]just staring at me
[Am]Or was it my monkey?
[Dm]I couldn't be sure
[G]It's not like you'd never seen a monkey
in rollerblades [F]and dungarees before

[Pre-chorus 3]
[Em]Now don't test my patience
cause we're not a[Dm]bout to run
[Em]That's a bad ass monkey boy
and [Dm]he's packing a gun
[Em]'My name is Rodriguez',
he [Dm]says with death in his eye
[Em]'I've been chasing you for a long time
amigos,
And now your [E]monkey's gonna die!'

[Chorus 3]
[Am]Me and my monkey
[Dm]Drove in search of the sun
[G]Now me and my monkey
We don't [F]wanna kill no mexican
But we've [Am]got ten itchy fingers
[Dm]And one thing to declare
[G]When the monkey is high
You [F]do not stare, you do not stare

[Outro 1]
[Am][Am]
[Dm]You do not stare[G]
[F][F]
[Am]Looks like we've got ourselves
a mexican standoff here boy
[Dm]And I ain't about to run
[G]Put your gun down, boy
[F]How did I get mixed up
with this fucking monkey anyhow
[Am]
