Bruce Springsteen - Part man part monkey

They prosecuted ^Cmsome poor sucker in these United States For teachin' that man descended from the apes They coulda ^Fmsettled that case without a fuss or fight If they'd seen me ^Cmchasin' you, sugar, through the jungle last night They'd ^G7called in that jury and-a one, two, three, said, "Part ^Cmman, part monkey, definitely"

Well the ^Cmchurch bell rings from the corner steeple Man in a monkey suit, swears he'll do no evil Offers ^Fmhis lover's prayer, but his soul lies ^CmDark and driftin', and unsatisfied Well ^G7hey, bartender, tell me what do ya see Part ^Cmman, part monkey, looks like to me

Well, the ^Fmnight is dark, the moon is full The ^Cmflowers of romance exert their pull We ^Fmtalk awhile, my fingers slip I'm ^G7hard and crackling like a whip

Well did ^CmGod make man in a breath of holy fire Or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire Well the ^Fmman on the street believes what the bible tells him so But you can ^Cmask me, mister, because I know Tell them ^G7soul-suckin' preachers to come on down and see Part ^Cmman, part monkey, baby, that's me
