Me and my Monkey

(início)

Intro: Hm  Em  A  Bm     (2x)
Bm
It was me and my monkey
Em
Him with his dungarees and rollerblades
A
Smoking filter tips reclining in the passenger seat of my
                       Bm
supercharged jet black Chevrolet
He had the soft top down
    Em
He liked the wind in his face
                                                            Bm
He said 'Son, you ever been to Vegas?’ I said 'No’ he said 'That’s
where we’re gonna go, you need a change of place’
                                                Em
And when we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon
signs he said
                                      Bm
'I left my wallet in El Segundo’ and proceeded to take two grand of
mine
                               Em        A
We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay hotel
                                   Bm                   A
Asked the bell boy if he’d take me and my monkey as well
                                              Em
He looked in the passenger seat of my car and with a smile he said
A
'If your monkey’s got that kind of money sir, and we’ve got a monkey
Bm
bed’
Chorus:
Bm
Me and monkey
Em
With a dream and a gun
A
Hoping my monkey
       Bm
Don’t point that gun at anyone
Me and monkey
          Em
Like Butch and the Sundance Kid
A             Bm
Trying to understand
Why he did what he did
Why he did what he did
Bm                     Em
And at the elevator I hit the 33rd floor
He had a room up top with a panoramic view it’s like nothing you’ve
Bm
ever seen before
                                Em
He went to sleep in the bidet and when he awoke
He ran his little monkey fingers through the yellow pages
                  Bm
Called up escort services and ordered some oki doke
                          Em
Forty minutes later there came a knock at the door
In walked this big, bad-ass baboon into my bedroom with 3 monkey
    Bm
whores
                         Em
'Hi, my name is Sunshine. These are my girls. Lace my palm with
silver baby oh yeah and they’ll rock your world’
A                                       Bm               A
So I watched pay per view and polished my shoes and my gun
                                   Bm      A
Was sticking on Kurt Cobain sing about lithium
                                               Bm     A
There came and knocked at the door and in walked Sunshine
'What’s up?’ - 'You better get your ass in here boy your monkey is
                          Bm
having too much of a good time’
Chorus:
Bm
Me and my monkey
Em
Drove in search of the sun
A
Me and my monkey
     Bm
Don’t point that gun at anyone
Me and my monkey
      Em
Like Billy the Kid
A          Bm
Trying to understand
Why he did what he did
Why he did what he did

Got tickets to see Sheena Easton
The monkey was high
Said it was a burning ambition to see her before he died
We left before encores
He couldn’t sit still
Sheena was a blast baby
But my monkey was ill
When I played black jack
Kept hittin’ 23
Couldn’t help but notice this Mexican just staring at me
Or was it my monkey
I couldn’t be sure
It’s not like you’ve never seen a monkey in rollerblades and
dungarees before
A                                        Bm           A
Now don’t test my patience cause we’re not about to run
                                    Bm            A
That’s a bad-ass monkey boy and he’s packing a gun
                                  Bm             A
'My name is Rodriguez’ he says with death in his eye
                                    Bm     A
'I’ve been chasing you for a long time amigos
                           Bm
And now your monkey is gonna die’
Bm
Me and my monkey
Em
Drove in search of the sun
A
Me and my monkey
  Bm
We don’t wanna kill no Mexican
                             Em
But we got ten itchy fingers
One thing to declare
A                 Bm
When the monkey is high
                 Em
You do not stare
You do not stare
You do not stare
Bm                                 Em
Looks like we got ourselves a Mexican stand off here boy
A
And I ain’t about to run
Put your gun down boy
                                             Bm
How did I get mixed up with this fucking monkey anyhow
