[Intro 1]
[G][A][G][A][G][C][D][F][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Look outside the [A]window,
there's a [G]woman being [A]grabbed
C Em F G
They've [G]dragged her to the [Bm]bushes and
[C]now she's being [D]stabbed
E Am
[C]May[B]be we should call the cops
and [Em]try to stop the pain
F Am Dm G
But [C]Monopoly is so [Em]much fun,
I'd [Am]hate [A]to [D]blow the game
C Am Eb
And I'm [G]sure it wouldn't
[Em]interest [Bb]anybody
[G]Cm [Gm]F
Outside of a small [G]circle of
friends.
[C][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]
[G]Riding down the [A]highway, yes,
my [G]back is getting [A]stiff
[G]Thirteen cars are [Bm]piled up,
they're [C]hanging on [D]a cliff.
[B]Maybe we should pull them back
[Em]with our tow[B]ing [Em]chain
But we [C]gotta move and we [Em]might get sued
and it [Am]looks [C]like it's [A]gon[D]na rain
And I'm [G]sure it wouldn't
[Em]interest [Bb]anybo[Gm]dy
Outside of a small circle [C]of friends.
[G][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]Sweating in the ghe[A]tto with the[G]
(colored Panthers) and
[A]the poor
The [G]rats have joined the ba[Bm]bies who
are [C]sleeping on the [A]floor[D]
Now [Bm]wouldn't [B]it be a riot if
they [Em]really blew their tops?
But they [C]got too much [Em]already
and be[Am]sides we [A]got the [D]cops
And I'm [G]sure it wouldn't
[Em]interest [Bb]anybo[Gm]dy
Outside of a small circle [C]of
friends.
[G][B][G][B][G]

[Verse 4]
[D]
[G]Oh there's a dirty pa[A]per using
[G]sex to make [A]a sale
[G]The Supreme Court was [Bm]so upset,
they [C]sent him off to [D]jail.
[B]Maybe we should help the fiend and
[Em]take [B]away his [Em]fine. (*)
But we're [C]busy reading Playboy and
[Am]the Sunday New [D]York Times
And I'm [G]sure it wouldn't
[Em]interest [Bb]anybo[D]dy
[Gm]Outside [G]of a small[Gm] circl[G]e
of friends
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]
[G]Smoking [A]marihuana is more
[G]fun than drinking [A]beer,
But a [G]friend of ours was [Bm]captured and
they [C]gave him thirty [D]years
[B]Maybe we should raise our voices,
[Em]ask some[B]body w[Em]hy
But [C]demonstrations are [Em]a drag,
be[Am]sides [A]we're [D]much too high
And I'm [G]sure it wouldn't
[Em]interest [Bb]anybody
[Gm]Outside of a small circle of f[G]rien[C]ds

[Verse 6]
[D]Oh [G]look outside the win[A]dow,
there's a [G]wo man being [A]grabbed
They've [G]dragged her to the [Bm]bushes
and [C]now she's being [D]stabbed
[C]May[B]be we should call the cops
and [Em]try to stop the pain
But [C]Monopoly is [Em]so much fun,
I'd [A]hate to blow [D]the game
And I'm [G]sure it wouldn't
[Em]interest [C]any[Bb]body
[Gm]Outside of a small circle
[C]of friends
