Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head chords by Gorillaz
Verse 1
Am
Once upon a time
at the foot of a great mountain
There was a town
where the people known as happy folk lived
Their very existence a mystery
to the rest of the world
F
Am
Obscured, as it was, by great clouds
Here they played out their peaceful lives
Innocent of the litany of excess and violence
G
that was growing in the world below
To live in harmony
Am
with the spirit of the mountain
Chorus 1
called Monkey was enough
Am
E
Then one day,
F
E
strange folk arrived in the town
F
E
They came in camouflage
A
hidden behind dark glasses,
F
but no one noticed them
E
C
They only saw shadows, you see,
G
F
without the truth to the eyes
E
The happy folk were blind

Am
G
Falling out of aeroplanes
Am
G
and hiding out in holes
Am
G
Waiting for the sunset to come,
Am
G
people going home
Am
G
Jump out from behind them
Am
G
and shoot them in the head
Am
G
Now everybody dancing
Am
G
the dance of the dead
Am
G
The dance of the dead,
Am
G
Am
G
the dance of the dead

Verse 2
Am
In time, the strange folk found their way
into the higher reaches of the mountain
F
And it was there
that they found the caves
Am
of unimaginable sincerity and beauty
By chance, they stumbled upon the place
G
Am
where all good souls come to rest
Chorus 2
Am
The strange folk, they coveted the jewels
E
F
in these caves above all things
E
F
And soon they began to mine the mountain
E
Am
It's rich seam
F
E
fueling the chaos of their own world
C
G
Meanwhile, down in the town,
F
the happy folk slept restlessly
E
Their dreams invaded by shadowy
Am
figures digging away at their souls
Verse 3
Am
Every day, people would wake
and stare at the mountain
Why was it bringing
darkness into their lives?
Am
And as the strange folk
mined deeper and deeper into the mountain
F
Holes began to appear
Am
Bringing with them a cold and bitter wind
that chilled the very soul of the Monkey
For the first time, the happy folk felt fearful
G
For they knew that soon
Am
the monkey would stir from it's deep sleep
Verse 4
Am
Then there came a sound, distant first,
that grew into castrophany so immense
That it could be heard far away in space
Am
There were no screams, there was no time
The mountain called Monkey had spoken
There was only fire, and then
Nothing
Outro 1
Am
E
Oh little town in USA,
F
Em
the time has come to see
F
Em
A
There's nothing you believe you want
F
E
But where were you
C
G
F
E
when it all came down on me?
Did you call me out?
