^Am Tweeter and the monkey man were ^Ghard up for cash They^F stayed up all night selling c^Amocaine and hash To an undercover cop who had a^G sister named jan For r^Feasons unexplained she love^Amd the monkey man

^AmTweeter was a boy scout before she^G went to vietnam And ^Ffound out the hard way nobody ^Amgives a damn They knew that they found free^Gdom just across the jersey line So th^Fey hopped into a stolen car^Am took highway 99

^AmAnd the walls came down ^Emall the way to hell ^DNever saw them when theyre standing Never sa^Amw them when they fell

(play before going into the next verse) D Am D Am

^AmThe undercover cop never liked the^G monkey man Even^F back in childhood he wanted t^Amo see him in the can Jan got married at fourteen to^G a rackateer named bill She m^Fade secret calls to the mon^Amkey man from a mansion on the hill

^AmIt was out on thunder road - tweet^Ger at the wheel They^F crashed into paradise - they ^Amcould hear them tires squeal The undercover cop pulled up a^Gnd said everyone of yous a liar If yo^Fu dont surrender now its go^Amnna go down to the wire

(chorus)

^AmAnd the walls came down ^Emall the way to hell ^DNever saw them when theyre standing Never sa^Amw them when they fell

^AmAn ambulance rolled up - a state t^Grooper close behind Twee^Fter took his gun away and mess^Amed up his mind The undercover cop was left ti^Ged up to a tree Near ^Fthe souvenir stand by the o^Amld abandoned factory

^AmNext day the undercover cop was ho^Gt in pursuit He w^Fas taking the whole thing pers^Amonal,He didnt care about the loot Jan had told him many times it^G was you to me who taught In je^Frsey anythings legal as lon^Amg as you dont get caught
