2 x Riff 1
        [D] [D]  [Am]          


[Am]Tweeter and the Monkey Man were ha[G]rd up for cash
They s[F]tayed up all night selling co[Am]caine and hash
To an undercover cop who had a si[G]ster named Jan
For r[F]easons unexplained she l[Am]oved the Monkey Man.
[Am]Tweeter was a boy scout before she we[G]nt to Vietnam
And f[F]ound out the hard way, nob[Am]ody gives a damn
They knew that they found freedom just a[G]cross that Jersey line
So they h[F]opped into a stolen car took H[Am]ighway 99
[Am]And the walls came down   [Em]All the way to hell
Never [Dm]saw them when their standing
Never s[Am]aw them when they fell
riff 1, then D D Am


[Am]The undercover cop never l[G]iked the Monkey Man
[F]Even back in childhood he wanted to [Am]see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to a r[G]acketeer named Bill
She made [F]secret calls to the Monkey Man from a m[Am]ansion on the hill
[Am]It was out on thunder road T[G]weeter at the wheel
[F]They crashed into paradise you could h[Am]ear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up said E[G]veryone of you is a liar
If you d[F]ont surrender now its gonna [Am]go down to the wire
[Am]And the walls came down   [Em]All the way to hell
Never [Dm]saw them when they're standing
Never s[Am]aw them when they fell
riff 2

[Am]An ambulance rolled up a state t[G]rooper close behind
[F]Tweeter took his gun away and m[Am]essed up his mind
The undercover cop was left tied [G]up to a tree
[F]Near the souvenir stand by the old ab[Am]andoned factory
Next day the undercover cop was [G]hot in pursuit
[F]He was taking the whole thing personally
He didn't c[Am]are about the loot
Jan had told him many times it was y[G]ou to me who taught
In J[F]ersey anythings legal as long as you dont get c[Am]aught

[Am]And the walls came down   [Em]All the way to hell
Never [Dm]saw them when they're standing
Never s[Am]aw them when they fell
riff 1, then D D Am

[Am]Someplace by Rahway prison they [G]ran out of gas
[F]The undercover cop had cornered them said [Am]Boy

you didn't think that this could last
Jan jumped out of bed said There's so[G]meplace I gotta go
She t[F]ook a gun out of the drawer and said It's b[Am]est if you don't know

[Am]The undercover cop was found face d[G]own in a field
[F]The Monkey Man on the river bank using T[Am]weeter as a shield
Jan said to the Monkey Man I'm not f[G]ooled by Tweeters curl
I k[F]new him long before he ever be[Am]came a Jersey girl

[Am]And the walls came down.. [Em]All the way to hell..
Never [Dm]saw them when they're standing
Never s[Am]aw them when they fell
riff 1, then D D Am

[Am]Now the town of Jersey City is q[G]uieting down again
I'm s[F]itting in a gambling club c[Am]alled the Lion's Den
The TV set been blown up, every [G]bit of it is gone
Ever s[F]ince the nightly news show that the M[Am]onkey Man was on

[Am]I guess I'll go to florida and g[G]et myself some sun
There a[F]in't no more opportunity here e[Am]verythings been done
Sometime I think of Tweeter, some [G]time I think of Jan
Sometime I think of nothing but the [Am]Monkey Man
[Am]And the walls came down.. [Em]All the way to hell..
Never [Dm]saw them when they're standing
Never s[Am]aw them when they fell
