Monkey On A String

	  		
Part 1 
   F#                         E 
I used to let it run saw that it was havin fun  
        B 
Thought that it would get tired, but it only just begun  
          F#                              E 
Now I'm annoyed with the species as it’s jumpin branch to branch  
     B 
Or throw a little feces, or do a little dance  
        F#                           E 
And my mind isn’t steady it’s just spinning like a top 
     B 
Got tangents and they vanish into English or to Spanish  
        F#                         E 
And it never feels finished, I can almost touch the Grail  
     B 
The monkeys in a circle and he’s swallowin his tail  

Part 2 
              E 
He’s got his buddies in a barrel and their arms are locked  
   B 
I try to get one but only get the whole lot  
            E 
I see the claws and the fangs and the riots on the way  
      B 
Lord what i wouldn’t give to get quiet for a day  
   E 
Devouring itself but it can’t feel the sting  
           B                            A 
And the thoughts keep on turnin till i think i thought of 
      G# 
everything  
G 
Got to keep your monkey on a string
