  Subject: TAB/CRD: Wilbury's Tweeter and the Monkey Man

  Status: OR

  

  Verse1

  

  [Am]Tweeter and the Monkey Man were [G]hard up for cash

  They [F]stayed up all night selling [Am]cocaine and hash

  To an undercover cop who had a [G]sister named Jan

  For [F]reasons unexplained she loved the [Am]Monkey Man.

  

  Same chord progression throughout..

  

  Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to Vietnam

  And found out the hard way, nobody gives a damn (good line)

  They knew that they found freedom just across that Jersey line

  So they hopped into a stolen car took Highway 99

  

  Chorus:

  

  [still Am]And the walls came down.. [Em]All the way to hell..

  Never [D7]saw them when they're standing

  Never [Am]saw them when they fell

  

  (chorus 2,3,4 play riff, then D Am after this)

  

  Verse 2

  

  The undercover cop never liked the Monkey Man

  Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can

  Jan got married at fourteen to a rackateer named Bill

  She made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill

  

  It was out on thunder road -Tweeter at the wheel

  They crashed into paradise -you could hear them tires squeal

  The undercover cop pulled up said "Everyone of you is a liar...

  If you dont surrender now, it's gonna go down to the wire

  

  Chorus

  

  Verse 3

  

  An ambulance rolled up -a state trooper close behind

  Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind    (better line, eh?)

  The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree

  Near the souvenir stand by tha old abandoned factory

  

  Next day the undercover cop was hot in (sic, he sings "in hot") pursuit

  He was taking the whole thing personal,

  He didn't care about the loot

  Jan had told him many times it was you to me who taught

  In Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught

  

  Chorus

  

  Verse 4

  

  Someplace by Rahway prison they ran out of gas

  The undercover cop had cornered them said "Boy. you didn't

  think that this could last"

  Jan jumped out of bed said "There's someplace I gotta go"

  She took a gun out of the drawer and said "It's best if you don't know"  

  

  The undercover cop was found face down in a field

  The Monkey Man on the river bank using Tweeter as a shield

  Jan said to the Monkey Man "I'm not fooled by Tweeters curl

  I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl" (!it's gettin' complicated)

  

  Chorus

  

  Verse 5

  

  Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again

  I'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's Den

  The TV set been blown up, every bit of it is gone

  Ever since the nightly news show that the Monkey Man was on

  

  I guess I'll go to Florida and get myself some sun

  There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done

  Sometime I think of Tweeter, some time I think of Jan

  Sometime I think of nothing but the Monkey Man

  

  Chorus, repeat and fade 

  

  

  Here's a few of my own things:

  

  Intro riff (and chorus)          in ch.        Little chorus fill

  This is the text as in my book.. Robert sometimes sing different but

  you'll hear that better than me.
