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

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
