Tweeter And The Monkey Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E][D][A][E]

[Verse 1]
Tweeter and the Monkey Man
were [D]hard up for cash
They [A]stayed up all night
selling [E]cocaine and hash
With an undercover cop,
who had a [D]sister named Jan
For [A]reasons unexplained,
she [E]loved the Monkey Man
[E]Tweeter was a Boy Scout
'cause he [D]went to Vietnam
[C]Found out the hard way,
No[E]body gives a damn
You know that they'd find freedom
just a[D]cross the Jersey line
[C]Hopped into a stolen car,
took [E]Highway 99

[Chorus 1]
When the walls came down
[D]All the way to hell
Never [A]saw them when they're standing
Never [E]saw them when they fell
[E]

[Verse 2]
The undercover cop
[D]never liked the Monkey Man
[A]Even back in high school
wanted to [E]see him in the can
Jan got married at 14
to a [D]racketeer named Bill
Made [A]secret plans with the Monkey Man
from a [E]mansion on the hill
Was out on Thunder Road,
[D]Tweeter at the wheel
[A]Pulled into paradise,
you could [E]hear the tires squeal
It was Jan who'd told me many times,
"It was [D]you to me who'd taught
In [A]Kingston everything's legal, man,
as [E]long as you don't get caught"

[Chorus 2]
When the walls came down
[D]All the way to hell
Never [A]saw them when they're standing
Never [E]saw them when they fell
[E]

[Verse 3]
A place by Rahway Prison,
they [D]ran out of gas
The [A]undercover cop cornered us,
said [E]he didn't think this would last
Jan jumped up outta bed,
said, "There's [D]some place I gotta go"
She [A]took the gun out of the drawer,
said, "It's [E]best that you don't know"
An ambulance rolled up,
a state [D]trooper close behind
[A]Tweeter pulled his gun away
and [E]messed up his mind
The undercover cop was found
face [D]down in a field
The [A]Monkey Man is on a river bridge,
using [E]Tweeter as a shield

[Chorus 3]
When the walls came down
[D]All the way to hell
Never [A]saw them when they're standing
Never [E]saw them when they fell

[Solo 1]

[Verse 4]
The town of Kansas City,
is [D]quieting down again
I'm [A]sitting in a gambling club
[E]called The Lion's Den
The TV set is blown up,
every [D]bit of it is gone
Ever [A]since the night when they showed
that the [E]Monkey Man was on
Maybe I'll go to Florida,
[D]get myself some sun
There [A]ain't no more opportunity here
and [E]everything's been done
Sometimes I think of Tweeter,
some[D]times I think of Jan
Some[A]times I don't think
about nothing [E]but the Monkey Man

[Chorus 4]
When the walls came down
[D]All the way to hell
Never [A]saw them when they're standing
Never [E]saw them when they fell
