  			G Well ol? King Kong was a helluva gorilla 
he C stood four stories G tall 
they shot him with missles from aeroplanes 
but D he refused to fall 
with G Faye Ray in the palm of his hand 
he?ll C walk right over the G world 
?cause just like me he would do anything 
C just to keep his G girl 
 
Yeah, C ol? King Kong was just a little monkey 
com-{G}-pared to my love for you 
if D you treat right, every night 
and C to do what you wanted D to 
G I said it?s bigger than both of us 
and C now you know it?s G true 
ol? King Kong was just a little monkey 
com-{C}-pared to my love for G you 
 
G Now when King Kong met Godzilla 
he C made that lizard G crawl 
it wasn?t until he put his woman down 
that she D saw those big tears fall 
and G when you?re walking next to me 
I C swear I can fill his G shoes 
ol? King Kong was just a litttle monkey 
C compared to my love for G you 
 
ol? King Kong was just a litttle monkey 
C compared to my love for G you
