Tweeter And The Monkey Man Bob Dylan
[Am] Tweeter and the monkey man were [G]hard up for cash
They[F] stayed up all night selling c[Am]ocaine and hash
To an undercover cop who had a[G] sister named jan
For r[F]easons unexplained she love[Am]d the monkey man
[Am]Tweeter was a boy scout before she[G] went to vietnam
And [F]found out the hard way nobody [Am]gives a damn
They knew that they found free[G]dom just across the jersey line
So th[F]ey hopped into a stolen car[Am] took highway 99
(chorus)
[Am]And the walls came down [Em]all the way to hell
[D]Never saw them when theyre standing
Never sa[Am]w them when they fell
(play before going into the next verse)
[D] [Am] [D] [Am]
[Am]The undercover cop never liked the[G] monkey man
Even[F] back in childhood he wanted t[Am]o see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to[G] a rackateer named bill
She m[F]ade secret calls to the mon[Am]key man from a mansion on the hill
[Am]It was out on thunder road - tweet[G]er at the wheel
They[F] crashed into paradise - they [Am]could hear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up a[G]nd said everyone of yous a liar
If yo[F]u dont surrender now its go[Am]nna go down to the wire
(chorus)
[Am]And the walls came down [Em]all the way to hell
[D]Never saw them when theyre standing
Never sa[Am]w them when they fell
(play before going into the next verse)
[D] [Am] [D] [Am]
[Am]An ambulance rolled up - a state t[G]rooper close behind
Twee[F]ter took his gun away and mess[Am]ed up his mind
The undercover cop was left ti[G]ed up to a tree
Near [F]the souvenir stand by the o[Am]ld abandoned factory
[Am]Next day the undercover cop was ho[G]t in pursuit
He w[F]as taking the whole thing pers[Am]onal,He didnt care about the loot
Jan had told him many times it[G] was you to me who taught
In je[F]rsey anythings legal as lon[Am]g as you dont get caught
(chorus)
[Am]And the walls came down [Em]all the way to hell
[D]Never saw them when theyre standing
Never sa[Am]w them when they fell
(play before going into the next verse)
[D] [Am] [D] [Am]
[Am]Someplace by rahway prison they ra[G]n out of gas
The [F]undercover cop had cornered th[Am]em said boy, you didnt Think that this could last
Jan jumped out of bed said the[G]res someplace I gotta go
She t[F]ook a gun out of the drawer[Am] and said its best if you dont know
[Am]The undercover cop was found face [G]down in a field
The [F]monkey man was on the river br[Am]idge using tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the monkey man Im [G]not fooled by tweeters curl
I kne[F]w him long before he ever b[Am]ecame a jersey girl
(chorus)
[Am]And the walls came down [Em]all the way to hell
[D]Never saw them when theyre standing
Never sa[Am]w them when they fell
(play before going into the next verse)
[D] [Am] [D] [Am]
[Am]Now the town of jersey city is qui[G]eting down again
Im s[F]itting in a gambling club call[Am]ed the lions den
The tv set been blown up, ever[G]y bit of it is gone
Ever [F]since the nightly news show[Am] that the monkey man was on
[Am]I guess Ill to to florida and get [G]myself some sun
Ther[F]e aint no more opportunity her[Am]e, everythings been done
Sometime I think of tweeter, s[G]ometime I think of jan
Somet[F]ime I dont think about noth[Am]ing but the monkey man
[Am]And the walls came down [Em]all the way to hell
[D]Never saw them when theyre standing
Am outro: Am D Am
Never saw them when they fell
Have fun!!
