         Oow
F5 G5 Bb5 (x3) C5 Bb5 [Verse 1]
F5 G5 Bb5    F5 G5 Bb5
    Last night   and the night before

F5 G5 Bb5           F5 G5 Bb5
     The thunder crowed   and the rooster roared

F5 G5 Bb5            F5 G5 Bb5
    I woke up sweating    on somebody's floor

    You know how the story goes
[Interlude] D5 C5 Bb5 [Verse 2]
F5 G5 Bb5         F5 G5 Bb5
The   dirty streets    they can be so mean

F5 G5 Bb5        F5 G5 Bb5
    Everybody trying   to live so clean

F5 G5 Bb5          F5 G5 Bb5
    Me, I'm stuck here in between

Down on monkey hill

Saw a brother screaming on the corner

F5                  Ab5            C5    B5  Bb5
  Talkin' 'bout some low down dirty shame

    Between the buildings and the alleyways

F5 G5 Bb5                       F5 G5 Bb5
    That's where the living is done

F5 G5 Bb5                  F5 G5 Bb5
    Where the young boys chase the dragon

F5 G5 Bb5                           F5 G5
    That's where flesh and steel are one
[Chorus 2]

Down on monkey hill

                      C5           B5   Bb5
Saw another brother testifying this evening

   "Gonna get so high that I just don't know my name"

F5 G5 Bb5  N.C.
    Everybody's talking shit and jivin'

F5 G5 Bb5  N.C.
    Hard to tell which is which

F5 G5 Bb5  N.C.
    Dealers and squealers, businessmen and bankers

F5 G5 Bb5  N.C.
    They all be scratchin' that itch
[Chorus 3]
        F5         Ab5
Down on monkey hill

                      C5           B5   Bb5

F5                Ab5                     C5    B5  Bb5
    Talkin' 'bout how he left his soul in DeNang
And he said

   "Gonna get so high that I just don't know my name"
