    Verse 1
    Tweeter and the Monkey Man 

    were 
    hard up for cash 

    They 
    stayed up all night 

    selling 
    cocaine and hash 

    With an undercover cop, 

    who had a 
    sister named Jan 

    For 
    reasons unexplained, 

    she 
    loved 
    the Monkey Man 

    Tweeter was a Boy Scout 

    'cause he 
    went to Vietnam 

    Found out the hard way, 

    No
    body 
    gives a damn 

    You 
    know that they'd find freedom 

    just 
    a
    cross 
    the 
    Jersey 
    line 

    Hopped 
    into 
    stolen 
    car, 

    took 
    Highway 
    99 

    Chorus 1
    When 
    the 
    walls 
    came 
    down 

    All 
    the 
    way 
    to 
    hell 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they're 
    standing 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they 
    fell 


    Verse 2
    The 
    undercover 
    cop 

    never 
    liked 
    the 
    Monkey 
    Man 

    Even 
    back 
    in 
    high 
    school 

    wanted 
    to 
    see 
    him 
    in 
    the 
    can 

    Jan 
    got 
    married 
    at 
    14 

    to 
    racketeer 
    named 
    Bill 

    Made 
    secret 
    plans 
    with 
    the 
    Monkey 
    Man 

    from 
    mansion 
    on 
    the 
    hill 

    Was 
    out 
    on 
    Thunder 
    Road, 

    Tweeter 
    at 
    the 
    wheel 

    Pulled 
    into 
    paradise, 

    you 
    could 
    hear 
    the 
    tires 
    squeal 

    It 
    was 
    Jan 
    who'd 
    told 
    me 
    many 
    times, 

    "It 
    was 
    you 
    to 
    me 
    who'd 
    taught 

    In 
    Kingston 
    everything's 
    legal, 
    man, 

    as 
    long 
    as 
    you 
    don't 
    get 
    caught" 

    Chorus 2
    When 
    the 
    walls 
    came 
    down 

    All 
    the 
    way 
    to 
    hell 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they're 
    standing 

    Never 
    saw them when they fell 


    Verse 3
    place 
    by 
    Rahway 
    Prison, 

    they 
    ran 
    out 
    of 
    gas 

    The 
    undercover 
    cop 
    cornered 
    us, 

    said 
    he 
    didn't 
    think 
    this 
    would 
    last 

    Jan 
    jumped 
    up 
    outta 
    bed, 

    said, 
    "There's 
    some 
    place 
    gotta 
    go" 

    She 
    took 
    the 
    gun 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    drawer, 

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

    An 
    ambulance 
    rolled 
    up, 

    state 
    trooper 
    close 
    behind 

    Tweeter 
    pulled 
    his 
    gun 
    away 

    and 
    messed 
    up 
    his 
    mind 

    The 
    undercover 
    cop 
    was 
    found 

    face 
    down 
    in 
    field 

    The 
    Monkey 
    Man 
    is 
    on 
    river 
    bridge, 

    using 
    Tweeter 
    as 
    shield 

    Chorus 3
    When 
    the 
    walls 
    came 
    down 

    All 
    the 
    way 
    to 
    hell 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they're 
    standing 

    Never 
    saw them when they fell

    Verse 4
    The 
    town 
    of 
    Kansas 
    City, 

    is 
    quieting 
    down 
    again 

    I'm 
    sitting 
    in 
    gambling 
    club 

    called 
    The 
    Lion's 
    Den 

    The 
    TV 
    set 
    is 
    blown 
    up, 

    every 
    bit 
    of 
    it 
    is 
    gone 

    Ever 
    since 
    the 
    night 
    when 
    they 
    showed 

    that 
    the 
    Monkey 
    Man 
    was 
    on 

    Maybe 
    I'll 
    go 
    to 
    Florida, 

    get 
    myself 
    some 
    sun 

    There 
    ain't 
    no 
    more 
    opportunity 
    here 

    and 
    everything's 
    been 
    done 

    Some
    times 
    think 
    of 
    Tweeter, 

    some
    times 
    think 
    of 
    Jan 

    Some
    times 
    don't 
    think 

    about 
    nothing 
    but 
    the 
    Monkey 
    Man 

    Chorus 4
    When 
    the 
    walls 
    came 
    down 

    All 
    the 
    way 
    to 
    hell 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they're 
    standing 

    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.
