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