[Em] [D]
[C] [Em]
Twitter and the Monkey [D] Man, hot off the cash
[C] They stayed up all night [Em] smoking cocaine and hash
With an undercover cop who [D] had a sister named Jan
[C] For reasons unexplained, [Em] she loved the Monkey Man
Twitter was his boy scout [D] cause he went to Vietnam
[C] Found out the hard way, [Em] nobody gives a damn
You know that they found freedom [D] just across the Jersey Line
[C] Hopped into a stolen [Em] car to Highway 99
When the walls came down,
[D] all the way to hell
[C] Never saw them when they stand and never [Em] saw them when they fell
The undercover [D] cop never liked the Monkey Man
[C] Even back in high school [Em] wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at [D] 14 to a racketeer named Bill
[C] Made secret plans with the Monkey Man from [Em] a mansion on the hill
Was out on Thunder Road, [D] Twitter at the wheel
[C] Pulled into paradise, [Em] you could hear the tires squeal
Jan, he told me many [D] times that you were a mean tough
[C] In Kingston everything's legal [Em] man, as long as you don't get caught
When the walls came down,
[D] all the way to hell
[C] Never saw them when they stand and never [Em] saw them when they fell
Now faced by a right way prison, [D] we ran out of gas
[C] The undercover cop cornered [Em] us, said he didn't think this would last
Jan jumped up out of bed, [D] said there's someplace I gotta go
[C] Took a gun out of the [Em] drawer, said that's the shit, oh no
An ambulance rolled up, [D] state trooper closed behind
[C] Tweeter pulled his gun [Em] away and messed up his mind
The undercover cop was [D] found face down in the field
[C] The Monkey Man on the river [Em] bridge and Tweeter as she
When the walls came down, [D] all the way to hell
[C] Never saw them when they stand and never [Em] saw them when they fell
[A] [G] [Em]
[A] [G] [Em]
[A] [G] [Em]
[A] [G] [Em]
In Connecticut City, [D] quieting down again
[C] I'm sitting in a gambling [Em] club called the Lion's Den
The TV set is blown up, [D] have a better bet it's gone
[C] Ever since the night when they showed [Em] that the Monkey Man was on
Maybe I'll go to Florida, [D] get myself some sun
[C] Ain't no more opportunity [Em] here and everything's been done
Sometimes I think of Tweeter, [D] sometimes I think of Jan
[C] Sometimes I don't think about [Em] nothing but the Monkey Man
When the walls came down, [D] all the way to hell
[C] Never saw them when they stand [Em] and never saw them when they fell
[A] [G] [Em]
