The Mountain Goats – Monkey Song (Ukulele)

B                           F#
  cool air falls through the  venetian blind

          E                          E
  and the planets in the heavens are perfectly aligned

            B                 F#
  i take in my surroundings, i  memorize them all

      E                                   E
  the scuff marks on the stone floor, the powder burns on the eastern wall

           B              C#min
  there's a monkey in the basement

E                        E
  how did the monkey get there

B                         C#min
  there's a monkey in the basement

E                           F#
  where did the monkey come from

                            E
  where did the monkey come from

B                      F#
  the animal noises you  used to make

E                E
  the andalusian coral snake

      B                    F#
  all pale when standing beside this room

          E                      C#min
  and the heavy hot rains and the     sonic boom

           B              C#min
  there's a monkey in the basement

E                           E
  where did the monkey come from

B                         C#min
  there's a monkey in the basement

E                        F#min
  how did the monkey get there

                         E
  how did the monkey get there
