Verse
G
Back in '64 I was feelin' 63 the strangest sort of feelin' started creepin' over me
G
It's not the kind of feelin' you would easily forget
G
My head started burnin' and my knees began to sweat
C
I figured I was crazy so I went back to my chair
C
But I looked into my mirror and I just wasn't there
G
Just then the window shattered and a monkey hit the floor
G
Looked like it was time for me to make it to the door
D
But the monkey grabbed my coat and took away my hat
D
And I don't remember what happened after that
[Verse]
G
Except my friends hear the story about how I left it all behind
G
Seems ever since that day I've had that monkey on my mind
G
Tried to do my best and make something of my life
G
So I cut off all my relatives and then I left my wife
C
I tried a hundred cures anything that I could find
G
But you know life ain't easy with a monkey on your mind
D
Every time I make my mind up I'm really gonna try
G
Well that monkey starts a-jumpin' and looks me in the eye
G
Oh dig the monkey
[Instrumental]
C G D
[Verse]
G
Well somethin' exploded when the monkey got loaded and we went out on the town
G
The monkey got so drunk he started gettin' funky it was hard to hold the poor boy down
C
He did the Boogaloo the Shoogaloo the Eskimo the Hindu he even made the teenage queen
G
Oh the joint started leapin' everybody was a-freakin' the greatest show they'd ever seen
D
Then someone started screamin' and I woke up from my dreamin' tried to get myself realigned
G
But it's all right and it all comes easy when you got a monkey on your mind
[Outro]
G
Dig the monkey oh one more time dig the monkey
