Intro: Dm 

Verse 
Dm 
They're driving long nails into coffins 
Dm 
You've been having sleepless nights 
Dm 
You've gone as quiet as a church mouse 
Dm 
And checking on your rights 
Dm 
The boss has hung you out to dry

                      Dm   Bb  Am 
They'll punish the monkey 
Gm                           Dm  Dm/C 
   And let the organ grinder go 

Instrumental

   You've been talking to a lawyer 
Bb                         Dm 
   Are you going to pretend 
Bb Am                   Dm 
   That you and your employer 
Bb              Am 
  Are still the best of friends? 
Bb      Am            Dm 
  Somebody's going to take the fall 
Bb                       A 
  There's your quid pro quo 

                         Dm Bb 
They'll punish the monkey 
Gm  C           Dm   Bb 
  Punish the monkey, yeah

  They'll unish the monkey 
Gm                          Dm 
  And let the organ grinder go 


Bridge 
F/C               Bb      F/C 
   Here comes a police man 
         Bb      F/C 
He won't be side-tracked 
                      Bb     C 
He's asking about a smoking gun 
     Dm Bb     A 
He's after the facts

Bb                         Dm 
  You've dropped your poison cup 
Bb   Am             Dm 
  The telephone is ringing 
Bb               Am 
  But you're not picking up 
Bb         Am            Dm 
  Time's up, Sir Lord Flunkey 
Bb                 A 
And everybody knows
