Tweeter And The Monkey Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Tweeter and the Monkey Man
[G]were hot up for cash
They [F]stayed up all night
selling co[Am]caine and hash
To an undercover cop
who had a [G]sister named Jan
For [F]reasons unexplained
she [Am]loved the Monkey Man
Tweeter was a boy scout
before she [G]went to Vietnam
And [F]found out the hard way
that [Am]nobody gives a damn
They knew that they found freedom
just across [G]the Jersey line
So they [F]hopped into a stolen car,
took High[Am]way 99
And the walls came down
[E]All the way to [Esus4]hell[E]
Never [D]saw them when
they're standing
Never [Am]saw them when they're down
The undercover cop,
he never liked the [G]monkey man
And [F]even back in childhood
he wanted to [Am]see him in the can
Jan got married at 40
into a [G]racketeer named Bill
She made [F]secret calls
to the monkey man
from a [Am]mansion on the hill
Was out on Thunder Road,
[G]tweeter at the wheel
They [F]crashed into paradise,
they could [Am]hear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up
and said every[G]one a use a liar
If you [F]don't surrender
now it's gonna go [Am]down to the wire
And the walls came down
[E]All the way to hell
Never [D]saw them [Dm]when they're standing
Nev[D]er [Am]saw them when
they [Dm]fell[Am][D]
[Am]
An ambulance rolled up,
a state [G]trooper close behind
[F]Tweeter took his gun away
and [Am]messed up his mind
The undercover cop
was left [G]tied up to a tree
Near the [F]souvenir stand
by the old aban[Am]doned factory
Next day the undercover cop
was [G]hard in pursuit
He was [F]taking the whole
thing personal,
he didn't [Am]care about the loot
Jan had told him many times,
it was [G]you to me who taught
In [F]Jersey, anything's legal,
[Am]as long as you don't get caught
And the walls came down,
[E]all the way to [Esus4]hell
[E]Never saw[Dm] them when
they're standing,
never [Am]saw them when they
[Dm]fell[Am][D]
[Am]
Some place by a railway prison,
[G]they ran out of gas
The un[F]dercover cop had
cornered them
and said, you did[Am]n't
think this could last
Chan jumped out of bed
and said, there's [G]some place I gotta go
Took a [F]gun out of the drawer
and said,
it's [Am]be st that you don't know
The undercover cop was found,
[G]face down in a field
The [F]monkey man was
on the river bridge,
using [Am]tweeter as a shield
Chance said to the monkey man,
I'm not [G]fooled by Dweeva's curl
I knew [F]him long before he ever
became [Am]a Jersey girl
And the walls came down
[E]All the way to hell
Never [Dm]saw them when they standed,
[D]never [Am]saw them when they
[Dm]fell[Am][Dm]
[Am]
Now the town of Jersey City
is [G]quieting down again
I'm [F]sitting in a gambling club
[Am]called the Lion's Den
The TV set's been blown up,
every [G]bit of it is gone
Ever [F]since the nightly news show
that the [Am]mon key man was on
I guess I'll go to Florida and [G]get myself
There ain't [F]no more opportunity here,
[Am]everything's been done
Sometimes I think of Twitter,
some[G]times I think of Jan
Sometimes [F]I don't think about nothing
but [Am]the monkey man
And the walls came down,
[E]all the way to hell
Never [D]saw them [Dm]when
they're standing,
never [Am]saw them when they fell
And the walls came down
[E]All the way to hell
Never [D]saw them when they standed
Never [Am]saw them when they fell
