[Am]Tweeter and the Monkey Man were [G]hard up for cash They [F]stayed up all night selling [Am]cocaine and hash To an undercover cop who had a [G]sister named Jan For [F]reasons unexplained she loved the [Am]Monkey Man.
Same chord progression throughout..
Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to Vietnam And found out the hard way, nobody gives a damn (good line) They knew that they found freedom just across that Jersey line So they hopped into a stolen car took Highway 99
Chorus:
[still Am]And the walls came down.. [Em]All the way to hell.. Never [D7]saw them when they're standing Never [Am]saw them when they fell
(chorus 2,3,4 play riff, then D Am after this)
Verse 2
The undercover cop never liked the Monkey Man Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can Jan got married at fourteen to a rackateer named Bill She made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill
It was out on thunder road -Tweeter at the wheel They crashed into paradise -you could hear them tires squeal The undercover cop pulled up said "Everyone of you is a liar... If you dont surrender now, it's gonna go down to the wire
Chorus
Verse 3
An ambulance rolled up -a state trooper close behind Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind (better line, eh?) The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree Near the souvenir stand by tha old abandoned factory
Next day the undercover cop was hot in (sic, he sings "in hot") pursuit He was taking the whole thing personal, He didn't care about the loot Jan had told him many times it was you to me who taught In Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught
Chorus
Verse 4
Someplace by Rahway prison they ran out of gas The undercover cop had cornered them said "Boy. you didn't think that this could last" Jan jumped out of bed said "There's someplace I gotta go" She took a gun out of the drawer and said "It's best if you don't know"
The undercover cop was found face down in a field The Monkey Man on the river bank using Tweeter as a shield Jan said to the Monkey Man "I'm not fooled by Tweeters curl I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl" (!it's gettin' complicated)
Chorus
Verse 5
Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again I'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's Den The TV set been blown up, every bit of it is gone Ever since the nightly news show that the Monkey Man was on
I guess I'll go to Florida and get myself some sun There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done Sometime I think of Tweeter, some time I think of Jan Sometime I think of nothing but the Monkey Man

This is the text as in my book.. Robert sometimes sing different but you'll hear that better than me.
