A5                                                               E5      E5  E5
I think I'm sophisticated cos I'm living my life like a good Homosapien
    A5                                                 
But all around me everybody's multiplying
               E5                           E5  E5
Till they're walkin' round like flies man
   D5                                                 A5                  A5  A5
So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages in the zoo man
                                                        E5           A5
Cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees I am an ape man

I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized cos I'm a strict vegetarian

But with the over-population and inflation and starvation and the crazy politicians

I don't feel safe in this world no more

I don't want to die in a nuclear war                              RIFF 1

I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man

CHORUS #1:
A5                                             E5
I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man
A5                                                E5
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an ape man
     D5
Cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky
A5
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
                                               E5           A5
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies I am an ape man

BRIDGE:
A5                                          E5
In man's evolution he has created the cities and the motor traffic rumble
A5                                             E5
But give me half a chance and I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle
         D5                                 A5
Cos the only time that I feel at ease is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
                            E5              A5      Riff 1
Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man

CHORUS #2:

I'm an ape, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an ape man

I look out my window, but I can't see the sky

The air pollution is a-fucking up my eyes

I want to get out of this city alive and make like an ape man


D5  D5  D5  D5  D5   A5  A5    D5  E5  A5
La la la la la, la la


             E5 (riff 2)               A5 (riff 3)
Ah come and love me,   be my ape man girl
                  E5 (riff 2)               A5    riff 4     riff 1
And we will be so happy    in my ape man world

CHORUS #3:

I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man, oh I'm an ape man

I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane

I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane

We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day

Just like an ape man   RIFF 1

CHORUS #4:

I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man, oh I'm an ape man

I don't feel safe in this world no more

I don't want to die in a nuclear war                           

I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man
