Chords

Playing notes from the video linked above: For the chords with 1 asterisk in Verse 2, he strums the chord once, then mutes the strings and continues strumming the rhythm. On the N.C. at the end of verse 2 he mutes the strings, strums 1 time, speaks the line, and then strums the rhythm on muted strings until the first chord of the next chorus. For the chords with 2 asterisks in the Outro, he just strums the chord 1 time. [Chorus]

Don't come too close 'cos I think I've got fleas

     G                                             C   G
And I throw my own shit at people that I don't like

        F
I'm the cheekiest monkey in this whole damn town

Well I'm a cheeky little monkey and I'm up for a laugh

        F*
But the hippo is grumpy and so's the giraffe

        G*
And the zebras are boring 'cos they just eat grass

     C                           G
And I know this is cheeky, but I thought that I'd ask

         C
'Cos I've seen you up there in your big monkey tree

        F
And you look like a pretty sweet monkey to me
N.C. N.C. So I thought "If you weren't busy later maybe we could just throw shit at people" [Chorus]
