Start Jamming...
I remember I wrote a song about a guy [Gbm] named Tweeter.
[Bb]
I [Eb] thought that was an odd [N] request.
I went along with it, okay.
[Am] And he goes, and he needs us, somebody else [D] needs us.
I said, how about the [N] monkey man?
He said, right, you know.
And we started working on this song.
He said, I think the song ought to be set,
be a [G] story set in New Jersey.
[N] And I said, okay, well, set it in New Jersey.
[Bb] He said, I think we ought to say something about Bruce [N] Springsteen.
I said, well, that makes sense.
We'll mention Bruce Springsteen.
Then the English guys in the band said, we're leaving.
This is too American.
So they actually left, and we sat there the rest of the afternoon
and finished this song up.
It's called Tweeter and the Monkey

[F] [Am] Man.
[G] We [Em] turned his lair.
[F] They hopped in the [G] whistling [Am] car.
The car went mad and mad.
And the walls came down.
[Em] All the way to hell.
[D] There was something with his [Am] head.
And there was something with his head.

So I [G] got a monkey man.
[F] He was a man in [Am] childhood.
He wanted to see if he could hear.
He came around the age of 14 [G] to a man who didn't even know him.
[F] He made secret calls to the [Am] monkey man from a man he didn't know.
It was an hour on the road.
[G] He had a little wheel.
[F] The wheel crashed into his [Am] head.
And he said, oh, God, who does [G] it ever would have used a lighter?
[F] If you don't submit me [Am] now,
Everything turned upside down.
The wire and the walls came down.
[Em] All the way to hell.
[D] There was something with his head.
[Am] And there was something with his head.
[D] The [Am]
[D] [Am]
monkey man's older.
The [G] age of a grown [F] man.
The wheel came [Am] around.
The girl was mad.
The old girl's car was left [Em] tied up to a tree.
[F] He was sitting near a [Am] stand by an old abandoned factory.
The old man's car was tied [G] [F] up.
He stood in a little green [Am] busk.
Now, he didn't care about the moon.
He turned to one of the towns.
There [G] was a little blue car [F] in Jersey.
He said, [Am] hey, you better run, cause you don't get caught.
And the world came down.
[Em] All the way to hell.
[D] The old man saw the moon yesterday.
[Am] And he never saw the moon again.

[Em] The blue car went to prison.
The [G] baby ran out of gas.
[F] The music of a car was growing.
[Am] The disappointment came in his head.
He had no power back.
And he [G] saw a face like a girl.
[F] She took a gun out of her [Am] drawer.
Said, it's busy, don't come home.
The old girl's house was found.
[G] The old man walked up to the inside of the field.
[F] The monkey man was on the [Am] bridge.
He was on the bridge.
He walked up to the monkey man.
[G] How the hell would that finish the deal?
[F] When he was [Am] old, he became a Jersey girl.
And the world came down.
[Em] All the way to hell.
[D] The old man saw the [Gb] moon yesterday.
[Am] And he never saw the moon again.
