Intro: F C F C
Bb Dm G
Am G
She's a box car rollin' by
Am G
Like a black star in the sky
Am G
She's a failure once or twice
Am G
Like a trailer spinnin' out upon dizzy ice
Pre-Chorus
Am G
Flowers fly when we grow old
Am G
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
Am G
She's an eagle out on the road
Am G
Like my favorite Beatle everyone bought and sold
F C
All of my love and half my kisses
F C
Superstar don't do the dishes
Bb Dm G
I just want the great apes to be free
F C
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
F C
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
Bb Dm G
I just want the great apes to be free
Am G
She's a rain bird on the prowl
Am G
Like an urge to be yourself that you won't allow
Am G
She's a forest that we burned
Am G
Just a blueprint for a life that we had never learned 
Pre-Chorus
Am G
Flowers fly when we grow old
Am G
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
Am G
She's a lynch mob on the street
Am G
Take another step and I will kill the beat
F C
All of my love and half my kisses
F C
Superstar don't do the dishes
Bb Dm G
I just want the great apes to be free
F C
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
F C
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
Bb Dm G
I just want the great apes to be free
( Am G Am G Am G Am G )
Am G
She's a bus stop, glockenspiel
Am G
She's a simulation life that you thought was real
Am G
She's an image that we blurred
Am G
It's a pixelated panther, now let it purr
F C
All of my love and half my kisses
F C
Superstar don't do the dishes
Bb Dm G
I just want the great apes to be free
F C
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
F C
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
Bb Dm G
I just want the great apes to be free
( F C F C )
Bb Dm G
I just want the great apes to be free
( F C F C )
Bb Dm G
I just want the great apes to be free
