Intro: B5  E5  A5  B5     (2x)

B5
It was me and my monkey
E5
Him with his dungarees and rollerblades
A5
Smoking filter tips reclining in the passenger seat of my 
                       B5
supercharged jet black Chevrolet

He had the soft top down 
    E5
He liked the wind in his face
                                                            B5
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?
                                                E5
And when we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon 

signs he said 
                                      B5
?I left my wallet in El Segundo? and proceeded to take two grand of 

mine
                               E5        A5
We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay hotel 
                                   B5                   A5
Asked the bell boy if he?d take me and my monkey as well
                                              E5
He looked in the passenger seat of my car and with a smile he said
A5                                                             
?If your monkey?s got that kind of money sir, and we?ve got a monkey 
B5
bed?

Chorus:
B5
Me and monkey 
E5
With a dream and a gun
A5
Hoping my monkey
       B5       
Don?t point that gun at anyone

Me and monkey 
          E5              
Like Butch and the Sundance Kid
A5             B5
Trying to understand 

Why he did what he did 

Why he did what he did


B5                     E5
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 
B5
ever seen before
                                E5
He went to sleep in the bidet and when he awoke

He ran his little monkey fingers through the yellow pages 
                  B5
Called up escort services and ordered some oki doke
                          E5
Forty minutes later there came a knock at the door

In walked this big, bad-ass baboon into my bedroom with 3 monkey 
    B5
whores 
                         E5
?Hi, my name is Sunshine. These are my girls. Lace my palm with 

silver baby oh yeah and they?ll rock your world?
A5                                       B5               A5
So I watched pay per view and polished my shoes and my gun
                                   B5      A5
Was sticking on Kurt Cobain sing about lithium
                                               B5     A5
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 
                          B5
having too much of a good time?

Chorus:
B5
Me and my monkey
E5
Drove in search of the sun
A5
Me and my monkey
     B5
Don?t point that gun at anyone 

Me and my monkey 
      E5
Like Billy the Kid
A5          B5
Trying to understand 

Why he did what he did 

Why he did what he did

(no chords)

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 
A5                                        B5           A5
Now don?t test my patience cause we?re not about to run 
                                    B5            A5
That?s a bad-ass monkey boy and he?s packing a gun
                                  B5             A5
?My name is Rodriguez? he says with death in his eye
                                    B5     A5
?I?ve been chasing you for a long time amigos
                           B5
And now your monkey is gonna die?


B5
Me and my monkey
E5
Drove in search of the sun
A5
Me and my monkey
  B5
We don?t wanna kill no Mexican 
                             E5
But we got ten itchy fingers 

One thing to declare
A5                 B5
When the monkey is high
                 E5
You do not stare 

You do not stare

You do not stare
B5                                 E5
Looks like we got ourselves a Mexican stand off here boy
A5
And I ain?t about to run 

Put your gun down boy 
                                             B5
How did I get mixed up with this fucking monkey anyhow
