Bob Dylan Tweeter and the Monkey Man
A minorAm G+G
Tweeter and the monkey man were hard up for cash
FF A minorAm
They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash
G+G
To an undercover cop who had a sister named jan
FF A minorAm
For reasons unexplained she loved the monkey man
A minorAm G+G
Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to vietnam
FF A minorAm
And found out the hard way nobody gives a damn
G+G
They knew that they found freedom just across the jersey line
FF A minorAm
So they hopped into a stolen car took highway 99
(chorus)
A minorAm E minorEm
And the walls came down all the way to hell

Never saw them when theyre standing
A minorAm
Never saw them when they fell

Jan got married at fourteen to a rackateer named bill
FF A minorAm
She made secret calls to the monkey man from a mansion on the hill

It was out on thunder road - tweeter at the wheel
