Intro: ( Em G Em A Em ) x3 Em A D ( Em G Em A Em ) x3 A

Em G Em G Em A Em Em G Em G Em A Em
Let me tell you a story, about two kids in the city
Em G Em D A Em G Em D A
See they both have a problem with life, and it isn't very pretty
Em G Em G Em A Em Em G Em G Em A Em
There's a kid called Timmy, he used to be pretty witty
Em G Em D A Em G Em D A
But then too many rides on the horse, got him hooked and it's a pity

Em D A
Cause now he's got a monkey, he's got a monkey can't fight it
Em D A
Monkey, on his back he can't deny it
Em A D A
Monkey, he found a dragon that bites, a hole in his arm at night (where all the money goes)
Em G D Em D A Em G D A NC
Monkey, monkey on his back, dirty monkey, monkey on his back, a dirty monkey

Interlude: ( Em G Em A Em ) x3 Em A D ( Em G Em A Em ) x3 A

Em G Em G Em A Em Em G Em G Em A Em
Well there's a girl called Sally, she walks the streets in the city
Em G Em D A Em G Em D A
She works down on the corner every night, gives her money up to Willy
Em G Em G Em A Em Em G Em G Em A Em
You see her man's Big Willy, and when he met her she was pretty
Em G Em D A Em G Em D A
But he gave her a habit that she didn't want, now that's a pity

Em D A
Cause now she's got a monkey, she's got a monkey can't fight it
Em D A
Monkey, she's gotta walk the streets to buy it
Em A D A
Monkey, she found a dragon that bites, a hole in her arm at night (where all the money goes)
Em G D Em D A Em G D A NC
Monkey, monkey on her back, dirty monkey, monkey on her back, a dirty monkey

Solo/sounds: Em ( Em D A D A G Em ) x2

Bridge: E F# G G# A A# B D E A A# B C B E

Em G Em G Em A Em Em G Em G Em A Em
Well now listen everybody, cause there's a moral to the story
Em G Em D A Em G Em D A
Clean up your act, get the monkey off your back, or you'll be sorry
Em G Em G Em A Em Em G Em G Em A Em
Keep yourself clean, cause the monkey plays mean
Em G Em
He'll put a knife in your back
A D A
Then the man in the black, will show you a dragon that bites (and you'll wind up with a)
Em G D Em D A Em G D A
Monkey, monkey on your back, dirty monkey, monkey on your back
