Chords with lyrics

This song is the first single out of the Everything to Everyone CD. If you like
chimps, this is your song! I agree that this is not the best song to play all
by yourself, but if you're a hardcore BNL fan like me, every song is fun to
play at the guitar !

No capo and standard tuning. Any corrections are welcome !

Intro
-----

[C#m, A, F#m, BB] x 2

C#m, A, F minorFm


1st Verse
---------
     Esus4Esus4
You can't imagine so many monkeys in the daily mail

All of them coming anonymously so they leave no trail
    Esus4Esus4
I never thought I'd have an admirer from overseas

But someone is sending me stationary filled with chimpanzees.

2nd Verse (you can choose to palm mute those chords if you want)
---------
        E MajorE             Asus2Asus2
Some chimps in swimsuits, some chimps are swinging from a vine
        E MajorE              Asus2Asus2
Some chimps in jackboots, some chimps that wish they could be mine.
      E MajorE              Asus2Asus2
Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the can
     E MajorE              Asus2Asus2
A augmentedA pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam.

And every one is addressed to me.


3rd Verse
---------
      Esus4Esus4
If I had to guess, I'd say the monkey-sender thinks it's great

He's sending me, maybe she's sending me just to see me get irate
      Esus4Esus4
I'm losing sleep - and it's gonna be keeping me up all night

I thought it was funny, but now I've got money on a monkey fight.

---------
        E MajorE              Asus2Asus2
Some chimps in hard hats, chimps a-working on a chain gang

Some chimps who love cats, burning rubber in a Mustang
      E MajorE             Asus2Asus2
A augmentedA birthday-wishing chimp, a chimp in black like a goth
    E MajorE            Asus2Asus2

5th Verse
---------
       Esus4Esus4
Somehow they followed me even though I packed and moved my home

No matter what, they come and they come they won't leave me alone
    Esus4Esus4
Another monkey in the mail could make me lose my mind

But look at me shuffling through the stack until I finally find
