Verse 1
Tweeter and the Monkey Man
A
They stayed up all night
E
selling cocaine and hash
With an undercover cop,
D
who had a sister named Jan
A
For reasons unexplained,
E
she loved the Monkey Man
E5
Tweeter was a Boy Scout
D5
'cause he went to Vietnam
C5
Found out the hard way,
E5
No body gives a damn
You know that they'd find freedom
D5
just a cross the Jersey line
C5
Hopped into a stolen car,
Chorus 1
When the walls came down
A5
Never saw them when they're standing
E5
Never saw them when they fell
E5
Verse 2
The undercover cop
D5
never liked the Monkey Man
A5
Even back in high school
E5
wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at 14
D5
to a racketeer named Bill
A5
Made secret plans with the Monkey Man
E5
from a mansion on the hill
Was out on Thunder Road,
D5
Tweeter at the wheel
A5
Pulled into paradise,
E5
you could hear the tires squeal
It was Jan who'd told me many times,
D5
"It was you to me who'd taught
A5
In Kingston everything's legal, man,
E5
as long as you don't get caught"
Chorus 2
When the walls came down
A5
Never saw them when they're standing
Never
E5
saw them when they fell

Verse 3
A place by Rahway Prison,
A5
The undercover cop cornered us,
E5
said he didn't think this would last
Jan jumped up outta bed,
D5
said, "There's some place I gotta go"
A5
She took the gun out of the drawer,
E5
said, "It's best that you don't know"
An ambulance rolled up,
D5
a state trooper close behind
A5
Tweeter pulled his gun away
E5
and messed up his mind
The undercover cop was found
D5
face down in a field
A5
The Monkey Man is on a river bridge,
E5
using Tweeter as a shield
Chorus 3
When the walls came down
A5
Never saw them when they're standing
Never
E5
saw them when they fell

Verse 4
The town of Kansas City,
D5
is quieting down again
A5
I'm sitting in a gambling club
E5
called The Lion's Den
The TV set is blown up,
D5
every bit of it is gone
A5
Ever since the night when they showed
E5
that the Monkey Man was on
Maybe I'll go to Florida,
A5
There ain't no more opportunity here
E5
and everything's been done
Sometimes I think of Tweeter,
D5
sometimes I think of Jan
A5
Sometimes I don't think
E5
about nothing but the Monkey Man
Chorus 4
When the walls came down
A5
Never saw them when they're standing
Never
E5
saw them when they fell
