	A	E	Esus4	E
	I think I'm sophisticated cos I'm living my life like a good Hom	osapien

	A
But	all around me everybody's multiplying

	E	Esus4	E
Till they're wa	lkin' round like flies man

	D	A	Asus4	A
So	I'm no better than the animals sitting in their ca	ges in the zoo man

	E	A
Cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees	I am an ape	man

I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized cos I'm a strict vegetarian

But with the over-population and inflation and starvation and the crazy politicians

I don't feel safe in this world no more

I don't want to die in a nuclear war RIFF 1

I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man

CHORUS #1:

	A	E
	I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an	ape man

	A	E
	I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an	ape man

	D
Cos c	ompared to the sun that sits in the sky

	A
	Compared to the clouds as they roll by

	E	A
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies	I am an ape	man

D D D D D A A D E A RIFF 1

La la la la la, la la

BRIDGE:

	A	E
	In man's evolution he has created the citie	s and the motor traffic rumble

	A	E
	But give me half a chance and I'd be taking of	f my clothes and living in the jungle

	D	A
Cos the o	nly time that I feel at ease is sw	inging up and down in a coconut tree

E A RIFF 1

Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man

CHORUS #2:

I'm an ape, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an ape man

I look out my window, but I can't see the sky

The air pollution is a-foggin' up my eyes

I want to get out of this city alive and make like an ape man

	D	D	D	D	D	A	A	D	E	A
	La	la	la	la	la,	la	la

E (RIFF 2) A (RIFF 3)

Ah come and love me, be my ape man girl

E (RIFF 2) A RIFF 4 RIFF 1

And we will be so happy in my ape man world

CHORUS #3:

I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man, oh I'm an ape man

I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane

I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane

We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day

Just like an ape man RIFF 1

CHORUS #4:

I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man, oh I'm an ape man

I don't feel safe in this world no more

I don't want to die in a nuclear war

I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man

	D	D	D	D	D	A	A	D	E	A
	La	la	la	la	la,	la	la
