Verse 1
A

I think I'm sophisticated

'cause I'm living my life
E

Like a good homo sapiens
A

But all around me everybody's multiplying
E

And they're walking round like flies man
D

So I'm no better than the animals sitting
A

In the cages in the zoo, man

'Cause compared to the flowers

and the birds and the trees
E
A

I am an apeman
Verse 2
A

I think I'm so educated

and I'm so civilized
E

'Cause I'm a strict vegetarian
A

But with the over-population

and inflation and starvation
E

And the crazy politicians
D

I don't feel safe in this world no more
A

I don't want to die in a nuclear war

I want to sail away
E
A

to a distant shore and make like an apeman
Chorus 1
A

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
E

Oh, I'm an apeman
A

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man
E

Oh, I'm an apeman
D

'Cause compared to the sun

that sits in the sky
A

Compared to the clouds as they roll by

Compared to the bugs

and the spiders and flies
E
A

I am an apeman
D
A
E
A

Verse 3
A

In man's evolution
E

he's created the city

and the motor traffic rumble
A

But give me half a chance
E

and I'd be taking off my clothes

And living in the jungle
D

'Cause the only time that I feel at ease
A

Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree

Oh what a life of luxury
E
A

to be like an apeman
Chorus 2
A

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
E

Oh, I'm an apeman
A

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man
E

Oh, I'm an apeman
D

I look out the window

but I can't see the sky
A

The air pollution is a-fogging up my eyes

I want to get out of this city alive
E
A

and make like an apeman
D
A
E
A

Bridge 1

Oh come on and love me, be my apeman girl

And we'll be so happy in my apeman world

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
E

Oh, I'm an apeman
A

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man
E

Oh, I'm an apeman
D

I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane
A

I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane

We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day,
E
A

just like an apeman
Chorus 4
A

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
E

Oh, I'm an apeman
A

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man
E

Oh, I'm an apeman
D

'Cause I don't feel safe in this world no more

I don't want to die in a nuclear war

I want to sail away

to a distant shore and make like an apeman

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
