MIm7 LA7sus4 REmaj7 RE
Ricky's been kick-ing the gong
FA#m7 SI7 MImaj7 MI
lickety split didn't take too long
SOL DO FA#m7 SI7
A junkie's sick, a monkey's strong
MI DO#m7 LA
That's what's wrong
MIm7 LA7sus4 REmaj7 RE
Well, I guess he's been messing around downtown
FA#m7 SI7 MImaj7 MI
so sad to see the man losing ground
SOL DO FA#m7 SI7
winding down behind closed doors
MI DO#m7 LA
on all fours
DO SOL
Mama, don't you call him my name;
RE RE/MI LA
he can't hear you anymore
DO SOL
Even if he seems the same to you
RE SIm7 MIsus4 MI
that's a stranger to your door
DO SOL/SI LA
Ask him what's he come here for
Oh my God, a monkey can move a man
Send him to hell and home again
With an empty hand in the afternoon
shooting for the moon
It's halfway sick and it's halfway stoned
He'd sure like to kick but he's too far gone
so they wind him down with the methadone
He's all on his own
But baby, don't you throw your love away
I hate to seem unkind
It's only that I understand the man
that the monkey can leave behind
I used to think he was a friend of mine
