They knew that they found freedom just across that Jersey line

Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory  
                                 G 
Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit  
 F                                     
He was taking the whole thing personally

      F                                          Am

The Monkey Man on the river bank using Tweeter as a shield  
                                     G 
Jan said to the Monkey Man I'm not fooled by Tweeters curl  
    F                             Am 
I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl

I'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's Den  
                                 G 
The TV set been blown up, every bit of it is gone  
       F                                    Am

There ain't no more opportunity here everything has been done  
                                   G 
Sometime I think of Tweeter, some time I think of Jan  
                                     Am 
Sometime I think of nothing but the Monkey Man

And the walls came down all the way to hell  
       Dm 
Never saw them when they're standing  
        Am 
Never saw them when they fell
