Boz Scaggs – Monkey Time (Guitar)

C
Back in '64 I was feelin' 63 the strangest sort of feelin' started creepin' over me

     C
It's not the kind of feelin' you would easily forget

   C
My head started burnin' and my knees began to sweat

  F
I figured I was crazy  so I went back to my chair

      F
But I looked into my mirror and I just wasn't there

     C
Just then the window shattered and a monkey hit the floor

C
Looked like it was time for me to make it to the door

        G
But the monkey grabbed my coat and took away my hat

    G
And I don't remember what happened after that

           C
Except my friends hear the story about how I left it all behind

      C
Seems ever since that day I've had that monkey on my mind

C
Tried to do my best and make something of my life

     C
So I cut off all my relatives and then I left my wife

  F
I tried a hundred cures anything that I could find

        C
But you know life ain't easy  with a monkey on your mind

      G
Every time I make my mind up I'm really gonna try

          C
Well that monkey starts a-jumpin' and looks me in the eye

    C
Oh dig the monkey

     C
Well somethin'  exploded   when the monkey got loaded   and we went out on the town

    C
The monkey got so drunk   he started gettin'  funky   it was hard to hold the poor boy down

           F
He did the Boogaloo  the Shoogaloo  the Eskimo the Hindu  he even made the teenage queen

       C
Oh the joint started leapin' everybody was a-freakin'  the greatest show they'd ever seen

     G
Then someone started screamin' and I woke up from my dreamin'  tried to get myself realigned

    C
But it's all right and it all comes easy  when you got a monkey on your mind

C
Dig the monkey   oh one more time   dig the monkey
