Tweeter and the monkey [G] man were hot up for cash.
[F] They stayed up all night [Am] selling cocaine and hash.
Though an undercover cop who [G] had a sister named Jan,
[F] For reasons unexplained [Am] she loved the monkey man.
Tweeter was a bus cop [G] before she went to Vietnam,
[F] And found out the hard way [Am] nobody gets the dam.
They knew that they'd find freedom [G] just across the Jersey line,
[F] So they hopped into a store and [Am] caught some Highway 99.
But the walls came down, _ _ all [Em]
the way to hell.
_ _ _ [D] Never saw them when they stand, they [Am] never saw them when they fell. _
_ [G] _ [E] _ [Am] The undercover [G] cop never liked the monkey [F] man,
Even back in childhood he [Am] wanted to see him in the can.
Jan got married at 14 [G] to a rack of chimp named Bill.
[F] She made secret talk to the monkey [Am] man from a mansion on the hill.
It was out on Thunder Road, [G]
Tweeter had the wheel.
[F] They crashed into paradise, [Am] they could hear them tires squeal.
The undercover cop pulled up and [G] said, everyone is a liar.
[F] If you don't surrender now, [Am] it's gonna go down through the wire.
And the walls came down, _ _ all [Em] the way to hell. _
_ _ [D] Never saw them when they stand, they [Am] never saw them when they fell.
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ [Am] _ An ambulance rolled up, [G] a straight trooper cloaked behind.
[F] Tweeter took his gun away [Am] and messed up his mind.
The undercover cop was left [G]
tied up to a tree,
[F] Near the souvenir stand by the old [Am] abandoned factory.
The next day the undercover cop [G] was a hot in pursuit.
[F] He was taking the whole thing personally, he [Am] didn't care about the loot.
_ Jan had told him many times, [G] it was you to me who taught.
[F] Let's jersey everything's [Am] legal, as long as you don't get caught.
And the walls came down, _ _ all [Em] the way to hell. _
_ _ [D] Never saw them when they stand, they [Am] never saw them when they fell.
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _
[Am] _ _ Some place by a railway prison, [G] they ran out of gas.
[F] The undercover cop had cornered them and said,
[Am] Huh, you didn't think that this could last.
Jan jumped up out of bed, [G] said there's someplace I gotta go.
[F] She took her gun out of the drawer [Am] and said, it's best if you don't know.
The undercover cop was found [G] face down in a field.
[F] The Monty man was on the river bridge [Am] using tweeter in the shield.
Jan said, little monkey man, [G] I'm not cool about this girl.
[F] I knew him long before he ever [Am] became a jersey girl.
And the walls came down, _ _ all [Em] the way to hell. _
_ _ [D] Never saw them when they stand, they [Am] never saw them when they fell.
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Am] Now the town of Jersey City [G] is quieting down again.
[F] I'm sitting in a gambling club [Am]
called the lion's den.
The TV set was blown up, [G] every bit of it was gone.
[F] Ever since the nightly news show [Am] that the monkey man was on.
I guess I'll go to Florida [G] to get myself some sun.
[F] There ain't no more opportunity [Am] here, everything been done.
Sometimes I think of tweeter, [G] sometimes I think of Jan.
[F] Sometimes I don't think about nothing [Am] but the monkey man.
And the walls came down, _
_ _ _ [Em] all the way to hell. _
_ _ [D] Never saw them when they're standing, [Am] never saw them when they fell.
And the walls came down, _ _ all [Em] the way to hell. _
_ _ [D] Never saw them when they're standing, [Am] never saw them when they fell.
