E                      B
Tell me now who hasn't felt like a monkey

Caught a long way from their tree?

Wishing you could just get back on home

     C#m                  B
King Kong left the jungle against his will
A
How do you think that made him feel?

Well he went tore New York City asunder
   A
To give you some idea of the stress he was under

Verse 2

   C#m                      B
Despite his best efforts to get back home
 A
Along with the girl of his dreams
   C#m               B
He got shot down and fell to his death
    A
Way down below on the street

Verse 3

         C#m                     B
He was a happy little critter before he was killer
A
Hiding underneath Tokyo
    C#m                          B
But then he went around crushing things on the ground
            A
And burning folks with his breath down below

Verse 4

C#m                     B
Maybe if a bomb wasn?t dropped on his City
A
Godzilla might not have been so shitty
         C#m                              B
And the frightened Japanese wouldn?t have been on their knees
A
Running and jumping into the sea

Wishing you could just get back on home

And forget the troubles of the city

Verse 5

         C#m                 B
He was a great big fish in a great big pool
A
Swimming around just trying to keep his cool
       C#m             B
But he ended up in the USA
          A
Where the summertime swimmers made easy prey

Verse 6

         C#m                     B
But creature of the deep, no matter how tough
A
Shouldn?t go around treating folk?s so rough
         C#m                       B
?Cause a couple of canny guys in a fishing boat
A
Stuck some explosives right down his throat


Bridge

            E                    B
But there?s no need to worry, no need to fear
    F#m
The creatures of these tales you hear
    E                      B
But unlike these beasts of mythology
          F#m                             D
There may be one lurking in either you or me


Outro/Chorus

               E               B
So tell me now who hasn't felt just like a monkey
F#m
Caught a long way from their tree?
E                          B
Wishing you could just get back on home
    F#m
And forget the troubles of the city
E                      B
Tell me now who hasn't felt like a monkey
F#m
Caught a long way from their tree?
E                          B
Wishing you could just get back on home
    F#m                          D   E
And forget the troubles of the city
