Monkey On A String

   F#                         E
I used to let it run saw that it was havin fun
        B
Thought that it would get tired, but it only just begun
          F#                              E
Now I'm annoyed with the species as it’s jumpin branch to branch
     B
Or throw a little feces, or do a little dance
        F#                           E
And my mind isn’t steady it’s just spinning like a top
     B
Got tangents and they vanish into English or to Spanish
        F#                         E
And it never feels finished, I can almost touch the Grail
     B
The monkeys in a circle and he’s swallowin his tail

[Part 2]
              E
He’s got his buddies in a barrel and their arms are locked
   B
I try to get one but only get the whole lot
            E
I see the claws and the fangs and the riots on the way
      B
Lord what i wouldn’t give to get quiet for a day
   E
Devouring itself but it can’t feel the sting
           B                            A
And the thoughts keep on turnin till i think i thought of
      G#
everything
G
Got to keep your monkey on a string
