Part 1
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
