[Intro] E7sus4 E7 x2 [Verse 1]
E7sus4                E7  E7sus4                    E7
   He's got arms like legs,   he's got hands on his feet

E7sus4                    E7              E7sus4          E7
   He's got a nose like a doughnut, got a tendency to overeat

A7sus4          A7               A7sus4         A7
   He don't use tools or weapons,  he don't eat meat

E7sus4                      E7      E7sus4                 E7
   He likes to stick to the bushes, tends to avoid the street

Gsus4*                G             A7sus4           A7
   But he rides my El Dorado, baby, when he comes to town

E7sus4                     E7        E7sus4                E7
   You know he's out there somewhere,  trying to track you down
[Verse 2]
E7sus4            E7  E7sus4            E7
   Look up in the sky,  mama that's the one, yeah, uh huh

E7sus4            E7     E7sus4               E7
   See the mighty profile,  block the noonday sun

A7sus4               A7                  A7sus4              A7
   He comes from the heart of darkness a thousand miles from here

E7sus4                        E7                E7sus4              E7
   That's the land where they understand what a woman might like to hear

Gsus4*              G               A7sus4              A7
   You know that he loves you baby, for what you really are

E7sus4            E7          E7sus4             E7
   His love is as burning hot,  as a big old ten cent cigar

[Verse 3]
E7sus4                    E7                  E7sus4            E7
   Now most of y'all have seen a gorilla in a cage at the local zoo

E7sus4                   E7                      E7sus4                     E7
   He mostly sits around contemplating,  all the things that he'd prefer to do

A7sus4                 A7                 A7sus4               A7
   He dreams about the world outside from behind those bars of steel

E7sus4                 E7                   E7sus4                E7
   And no one seems to understand about the heartache the man can feel

Gsus4*             G         A7sus4              A7
   The people stop and stare but nobody seems to care

E7sus4           E7            E7sus4               E7
   It don't seem right somehow,  it just don't seem fair
[Outro]
E7sus4              E7
Nononono, nononono, tweet tweet doody doo,

E7sus4       E7               E7sus4      E7       E7sus4      E7
Come on baby,  he's still a gorilla (gorilla grunts)
