Intro: (E) (E) (E) (E)
So, your (E) friends have been telling you
I'm out of my mind
(A) Acting all wild and weird
(E) Shoutin' and screechin'
Bouncing off the walls
And (B7) swinging from the chandeliers
Yeah, I've been (E) running through the neon jungle
I've been (A) chasing every woman in (F#) town
When you turn a (E) man into a monkey
That (B7) monkey's gonna monkey a(E)round
Now (E) wait 'til you see my new girlfriend
I (A) picked her up down at the "Zoo"
She's got (E) rings in her noes
Glitter on her toes
And a (B7) very well placed tattoo
(E) Now that I've been up on the high wire
You ain't (A) ever gonna get me (F#) down
When you turn a (E) man into a monkey
That (B7) monkey's gonna monkey a(E)round
Well (A) once you had me dancin' at the end of your chain
(E) Beggin' for your small change love
I was (A) jumping through hoops
Doing loop-dee-loops
Yeah, but (B7) girl I finally had enough
So when you (E) see me out rockin' in my little red hat
Goin' (A) ape all over (F#) town
Well you turned a (E) man into a monkey
And that (B7) monkey's gonna monkey a(E)round
Solo: (E) (E) (A) (F#) (E) (B7) (E)
