the monkey song from the album philyra.  this probably isn't perfect, but it sounds good.

B  E  B  E
B                           F#
  cool air falls through the  venetian blind
          E                          E
  and the planets in the heavens are perfectly aligned
            B                 F#
  i take in my surroundings, i  memorize them all
      E                                   E
  the scuff marks on the stone floor, the powder burns on the eastern wall

           B              C#min
  there's a monkey in the basement
E                        E
  how did the monkey get there
B                         C#min
  there's a monkey in the basement
E                           F#
  where did the monkey come from
                            E
  where did the monkey come from
                            C#min
  where did the monkey come from

B  E  B  E
B                      F#
  the animal noises you  used to make
E                E
  the andalusian coral snake
      B                    F#
  all pale when standing beside this room
          E                      C#min
  and the heavy hot rains and the     sonic boom

           B              C#min
  there's a monkey in the basement
E                           E
  where did the monkey come from
B                         C#min
  there's a monkey in the basement
E                        F#min
  how did the monkey get there
                         E
  how did the monkey get there
                         C#min
  how did the monkey get there
