Verse 1

Tweeter and the Monkey Man
D

were hard up for cash
A

They stayed up all night
E

selling cocaine and hash

With an undercover cop,
D

who had a sister named Jan
A

For reasons unexplained,
E

she loved the Monkey Man
E

Tweeter was a Boy Scout
D

'cause he went to Vietnam
C

Found out the hard way,
E

Nobody gives a damn

You know that they'd find freedom
D

just across the Jersey line
C

Hopped into a stolen car,
E

took Highway 99
Chorus 1

When the walls came down
D

All the way to hell
A

Never saw them when they're standing
E

Never saw them when they fell
E

Verse 2

The undercover cop
D

never liked the Monkey Man
A

Even back in high school
E

wanted to see him in the can

Jan got married at 14
D

to a racketeer named Bill
A

Made secret plans with the Monkey Man
E

from a mansion on the hill

Was out on Thunder Road,
D

Tweeter at the wheel
A

Pulled into paradise,
E

you could hear the tires squeal

It was Jan who'd told me many times,
D

"It was you to me who'd taught
A

In Kingston everything's legal, man,
E

as long as you don't get caught"
Chorus 2

When the walls came down
D

All the way to hell
A

Never saw them when they're standing
E

Never saw them when they fell
E

Verse 3

A place by Rahway Prison,
D

they ran out of gas
A

The undercover cop cornered us,
E

said he didn't think this would last

Jan jumped up outta bed,
D

said, "There's some place I gotta go"
A

She took the gun out of the drawer,
E

said, "It's best that you don't know"

An ambulance rolled up,
D

a state trooper close behind
A

Tweeter pulled his gun away
E

and messed up his mind

The undercover cop was found
D

face down in a field
A

The Monkey Man is on a river bridge,
E

using Tweeter as a shield
Chorus 3

When the walls came down
D

All the way to hell
A

Never saw them when they're standing
E

Never saw them when they fell

Verse 4

The town of Kansas City,
D

is quieting down again
A

I'm sitting in a gambling club
E

called The Lion's Den

The TV set is blown up,
D

every bit of it is gone
A

Ever since the night when they showed
E

that the Monkey Man was on

Maybe I'll go to Florida,
D

get myself some sun
A

There ain't no more opportunity here
E

and everything's been done

Sometimes I think of Tweeter,
D

sometimes I think of Jan
A

Sometimes I don't think
E

about nothing but the Monkey Man
Chorus 4

When the walls came down
D

All the way to hell
A

Never saw them when they're standing
E

Never saw them when they fell

  • 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.
