Tabbed by David B?dard-Barrette, McGill University, Canada, March 2004

This song is the first single out of the Everything to Everyone CD. If you like
chimps, this is your song! I agree that this is not the best song to play all
by yourself, but if you're a hardcore BNL fan like me, every song is fun to
play at the guitar !
No capo and standard tuning. Any corrections are welcome !

1st Verse
---------
Esus4 (022200@1)
You can't imagine so many monkeys in the daily mail
All of them coming anonymously so they leave no trail
Esus4I (022200@1)never thought I'd have an admirer from overseas
But someone is sending me stationary filled with chimpanzees.
2nd Verse (you can choose to palm mute those chords if you want)
---------
E (022100@1) Asus2Some (x02200@1)chimps in swimsuits, some chimps are swinging from a vine
E (022100@1) Asus2Some (x02200@1)chimps in jackboots, some chimps that wish they could be mine.
E (022100@1) Asus2Starsky (x02200@1)and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the can
E (022100@1) Asus2A (x02200@1)pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam.

3rd Verse
---------
Esus4If (022200@1)I had to guess, I'd say the monkey-sender thinks it's great
He's sending me, maybe she's sending me just to see me get irate
Esus4I'm (022200@1)losing sleep - and it's gonna be keeping me up all night
I thought it was funny, but now I've got money on a monkey fight.

---------
E (022100@1) Asus2Some (x02200@1)chimps in hard hats, chimps a-working on a chain gang

5th Verse
---------
Esus4Somehow (022200@1)they followed me even though I packed and moved my home
No matter what, they come and they come they won't leave me alone
