[N] [Am]
Tweeter and the monkey man were [G] hot up for cash.
They [F] stayed up all night [Am] selling cocaine and hash.
Though an undercover cop who had [G] a sister named Jan,
For [F] reasons unexplained she [A] loved the monkey man.
Tweeter was a [Am] boy scout before [G] she went to Vietnam,
[F] And found on the highway [Am] nobody getting a dime.
They knew that they'd find freedom just [G] across that jersey line,
So they [F] hopped into a stolen car from [Am] Highway 99.
And the walls came down, [Em] all the way to hell.
Never [D] saw them when they're standing, never [Am] saw them when they fell.
The undercover cop [G] never liked the monkey man,
[F] Even back in childhood he wanted to [A] see him in the can.
Jan got married at fourteen to [G] a rat called Jim named Bill.
She [F] made secret talks to the monkey man from a [Am] mansion on the hill.
It was out on Thunder Road, [G] Tweeter had the wheel.
They [F] crashed into paradise, they could [Am] hear them tires squeal.
The [A] undercover cop pulled up and said, [G] everyone of you's a liar.
If [F] you don't surrender now, it's [Am] gonna go down to the wire.
And the walls came down, [Em] all the way to hell.
Never [D] saw them when they're standing, never [Am] saw them when they fell.
[A]
[D] [Am]
[A] [D] [Am]
An ambulance rolled up, a [G] stray trooper clopped behind.
[F] Tweeter took his gun away [Am] and messed up his mind.
The undercover cop was left [G] tied up to a tree.
There's [F] a souvenir stand by the old [A] abandoned factory.
Next day the undercover cop was a [G] hot in pursuit.
He [F] was 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.
That in [F] Jersey anything's legal [Am] as long as you don't get caught.
And the walls came down, [Em] all the way to hell.
Never [D] saw them when they're standing, never [Am] saw them when they fell.
[A]
[D] [Am] Some place by a railway prison, they [G] ran out of gas.
The [F] undercover cop had cornered them and said, [Am] huh, you didn't think your desk would last.
Jan jumped up out of bed and said, [G] there's someplace I gotta go.
She [F] took her gun out of the drawer and said, [Am] it's best if you don't know.
The undercover cop was found face [G] down in a field.
The [F] monkey man was on the river bridge using [Am] tweeter as a shield.
Jan said to the monkey man, I'm not [G] cool about tweeters girl.
I [F] knew him long before he ever [Am] became a Jersey girl.
And the walls came down, [Em] all the way to hell.
Never [D] saw them when they're standing, never [Am] saw them when they fell.
[D] [Am]
[A] [D]
[Am] Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down [G] again.
[F] I'm still in a gambling club [Am] called the Lion's Den.
The TV set was blown up, [G] every bit of it is gone.
Ever [F] since the nightly news show that [Am] the monkey man was on.
I guess I'll go to Florida and [G] get myself some sun.
There [F] ain't no more opportunity here, [Am] everything been done.
Sometimes I think of tweeter, [G] sometimes I think of Jan.
[F] Sometimes I don't think about nothing but [Am] the monkey man.
And the walls came down, [Em] all the way to hell.
Never [D] saw them when they're standing, never [Am] saw them when they fell.
And the walls came down, [Em] all the way to hell.
Never [D] saw them when they're standing, never [Am] saw them when they fell.
