Standard tuning (!!!)

Capo at 2nd fret



Intro:



( first four bars omitted )



with a funky feel



   C#m7     C#m6      A         C#m    C#m7     C#m6      A     C# riff

The C# riff part is written below. It's almost impossible to get the exact 

notes, since Keith hardly plays two bars the same twice. Just play along with 

the record to get the right feeling.





|-------------------------|

|----6-6--7--7-7-7--7--6--|

|----6-6--6--6-6-6--9--6--|

|----6-6--8--8-8-8--------|

The chords in the verse are:



| E | E | C# riff | C# riff |

| E | E | C# riff | C# riff |

| A | B | C# riff | C# riff |

| A | B | C# riff | C# riff |



The E is played using the following pattern:



 E

|----------|

|-8p7--8p7-|

|---7----7-|

|---7----7-|

|---5----5-|

|----------|



Remember the capo, so the A can be played as a regular G and the B can be played

as a regular A.



The next part is the instrumental after the first two verses. Again, listen to

the record to get the timing right! This section was previously published in

Guitar World, December 1988 and transcribed by Dave Whitehall.

This instrumental part is followed after a while by the next chord progression:





 E     B     A     B

|--4--|--2--|--5--|--2--|

|--5--|--4--|--3--|--4--|

|--4--|--4--|--3--|--4--|   play 4 times

|--2--|--4--|--3--|--4--|

|-----|--2--|--4--|--2--|

|-----|-----|--5--|-----|





And then back to the instrumental part, accompanied by Mick`s shouting:



I`M A MONKEEEEYYY-AAAAHHHHH!!!!!





Finally, the lyrics:





I`m a fleabit peanut monkey, all my friends are junkies

That`s not really true.

I`m a cold Italian pizza, I could use a lemon squeezer

What`d you do?

I`ve been bitten, I`ve been tossed around, by every she-rat in this town

Have you, babe?

Well I am just a monkey man, I`m glad you are a monkey woman too!



I was bitten by a boar, I was gouged and I was gored

But I pulled on through.

Yes, I`m a sack of broken eggs, I always have an unmade bed

Don`t you?

Well I hope we`re not too messianic, or a trifle too satanic

We love to play the blues.

But when I am just a monkey man, I`m glad you are a monkey woman too.
