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
