[Intro]
E D A E
[Verse 1]
E D
Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash
A E
They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash
E D
To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan
A E
For reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey Man
E D
Tweeter was a Boy Scout, 'course he went to Viet Nam
A E
Found out the hard way nobody gives a damn
E D
Thought that they'd find freedom just across the Jersey line
A E
Hopped into a stolen car, took Highway 99
[Chorus]
E
When the walls came down
D
All the way to hell
A
Never saw them when they standin
E
Never saw them when they fell
[Verse 1]
E D
The undercover cop, he never liked the Monkey Man
A E
Even back in high school, wanted to see him in the can
E D
Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill
A E
Made secret plans with the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill
E D
It was out on Thunder Road, Tweeter at the wheel
A E
Pulled into paradise, you could hear the tires squeal
E D
It was Jan who'd told him many times "It was you to me who'd taught:
A E
In Kingston everything's legal as long as you don't get caught"
[Chorus]
E
When the walls came down
D
All the way to hell
A
Never saw them when they standin
E
Never saw them when they fell
[Verse 2]
E D
Some place by Riway prison they ran out of gas
A E
The undercover cop cornered 'em, said "You didn't think that this could last"
E D
Jan jumped up out of bed said "There's some place I gotta go"
A E
She took the gun out of the drawer, and said "It's best that you don't know"
E D
An ambulance rolled up, State Trooper close behind
A E
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind
E D
The undercover cop was found face down in a field
A E
The Monkey Man was on the river bridge using Tweeter as a shield
[Chorus]
E
When the walls came down
D
All the way to hell
A
Never saw them when they standin
E
Never saw them when they fell
[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
E D
The town of Jersey City is quieting down again
A E
I'm sitting in a gambling club called The Lion's Den
E D
The TV set is blown up, every bit of it is gone
A E
Ever since the night when they showed that the Monkey Man was on
E D
Maybe I'll go to Florida, get myself some sun
A E
There ain't no more opportunity here and everything's been done
E D
Sometimes I think of Tweeter, sometimes I think of Jan
A E
Sometimes I don't think about nothin' but the Monkey Man
[Chorus]
E
When the walls came down
D
All the way to hell
A
Never saw them when they standin

Never saw them when they fell
