Chords with lyrics

Intro: C# minorC#m F# minorF#m BB A augmentedA x2

Verse 1:

    C# minorC#m
There was me and my monkey
      F# minorF#m
And with his dungarees and roller blades smoking filter tips
     BB                         A augmentedA
Reclining in the passenger seat of my super-charged jet black Chevrolet
     C# minorC#m             F# minorF#m
He had the soft-top down, he liked the wind in his face
     BB
He said 'Son, you ever been to Vegas? ' I said 'no'
                      A augmentedA           C# minorC#m
He said 'that's where we're gonna go - you need a change of pace'
                F# minorF#m
And we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs
     BB                             A augmentedA      G# minorG#m
He said 'i left my wallet in El Segondo' and proceeded to take two grand of mine
                F# minorF#m     G# minorG#m
We made tracks to The Mandalay Bay Hotel
                      F# minorF#m      G# minorG#m
Asked the bell boy if he'd take me and my monkey as well?
                           F# minorF#m      G# minorG#m
He looked in the passenger seat of my car and with a smile he said
                             G#G#
'If your monkey's got that kind of money sir, then we've got a monkey bed!

Chorus 1:

C# minorC#m
  Me and my monkey
F# minorF#m
  With a dream and a gun
BB               A augmentedA
  I'm hoping my monkey don't point that gun at anyone
C# minorC#m
  Me and my monkey
         F# minorF#m
  Like Butch and the Sundance Kid
BB                A augmentedA
  Trying to understand why he did what he did

  Why he did what he did


Verse 2: (same as Verse 1)

We got the elevator, I hit the 33rd floor
We had a room up top with the panoramic views like nothing you'd ever seen before
He went to sleep in the bidet and when he awoke
He ran his little monkey fingers through yellow pages
Called up some escort services and ordered some okey doke
Forty minutes later there came a knock at the door
In walked this big bad ass baboon into my bedroom with three monkey whores
'Hi! My name is Sunshine - these are my girls
Lace my palm with silver baby and oh yeah, they'll rock your world'
So I watched pay-per-view and polished my shoes and my gun
Was diggin' old Kurt Cobain singing 'bout lithium
There came a knock at the door and in walked Sunshine
'What's up? You'd better get your ass in here boy, your monkey's having too much of a good
Time! '

Chorus 2:

C# minorC#m
  Me and my monkey
F# minorF#m
  Drove in search of the sun
BB               A augmentedA
  I'm hoping my monkey don't point that gun at anyone
C# minorC#m
  Me and my monkey
   F# minorF#m
  Like Billy The Kid
BB                A augmentedA
  Trying to understand why he did what he did

  Why he did what he did


Verse 3: (same as Verse 1)

Got tickets to see Sheena Easton, the monkey was high
Said it was a burning ambition to see her before he died
We left before encores, he couldn't sit still
Sheena was a blast baby but my monkey was ill
We went to play black-jack, kept hitting twenty three
Couldn't help but notice this Mexican just staring at me
Or was it my monkey? I couldn't be sure
It's not like you'd never seen a monkey in rollerblades and dungarees before
Now don't test my patience 'cause we're not about to run
That's a bad ass monkey boy and he's packing a gun
'My name is Rodriguez', he says with death in his eye
'i've been chasing you for a long time amigos, and now your monkey's gonna die!


Chorus 3:
C# minorC#m
  Me and my monkey
F# minorF#m
  Drove in search of the sun
BB                A augmentedA
 Now me and my monkey We don't wanna kill no Mexican
        C# minorC#m
 But we've got ten itchy fingers
F# minorF#m
 and one thing to declare
BB                A augmentedA
 When the monkey is high you do not stare, you do not stare

you do not stare...


Outro: C# minorC#m F# minorF#m BB A augmentedA x2 then C# minorC#m

Looks like we've got ourselves a Mexican standoff here boy
Huh...
And I ain't about to run
Put your gun down, boy
Huh huh...
