[Riff 1] [Riff 1][Verse]
Am G Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash F Am They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash Am G To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan F Am For reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey Man Am G Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to Vietnam Fmaj7 Am And found out the hard way, nobody gives a damn Am G They knew that they found freedom just across that Jersey line Fmaj7 Am So they hopped into a stolen car took Highway 99
[Chorus]
Am Em7 And the walls came down, all the way to hell D Never saw them when they're standing Am Am Never saw them when they fell [Riff 2]
[Verse]
Am G The undercover cop never liked the Monkey Man F Am Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can Am G Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill F Am She made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill Am G It was out on thunder road, Tweeter at the wheel Fmaj7 Am They crashed into paradise, they could hear them tires squeal Am G The undercover cop pulled up and said: "Every one of you is a liar Fmaj7 Am If you don't surrender now, it's gonna go down to the wire."
[Chorus]
Am Em7 And the walls came down, all the way to hell D Never saw them when they're standing Am Never saw them when they fell | Am | D D Am | Am | D D Am | [Riff 1] [Riff 1]
[Verse]
Am G An ambulance rolled up, a state trooper close behind F Am Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind Am G The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree F Am Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory Am G Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit Fmaj7 Am He was taking the whole thing personal, he ... didn't care about the loot Am G Jan had told him many times: "It was you to me who taught Fmaj7 Am In Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught."
[Chorus]
Am Em7 And the walls came down, all the way to hell D Never saw them when they're standing Am Never saw them when they fell

[Verse]
Am G Someplace by Rahway prison they ran out of gas F Am The undercover cop had cornered them, said: "Boy, you didn't think that this could last!" Am G Jan jumped up out of bed, said: "There's someplace I gotta go!" F Am She took a gun out of the drawer and said: "It's best if you don't know." Am G The undercover cop was found face down in a field F Am The Monkey Man was on the river bridge using Tweeter as a shield Am G Jan said to the Monkey Man: "I'm not fooled by Tweeter's curl F Am I knew it long before he ever became a Jersey girl."
[Chorus]
Am Em7 Then the walls came down, all the way to hell D Never saw them when they're standing Am Never saw them when they fell

[Verse]
Am G Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again F Am I'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's Den Am G The TV set was blown up, every bit of it is gone F Am Ever since the nightly news show that the Monkey Man was on Am G I guess I'll go to Florida and get myself some sun Fmaj7 Am There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done Am G Sometime I think of Tweeter, sometimes I think of Jan Fmaj7 Am Sometimes I don't think about nothing but the Monkey Man
[Chorus]
Am Em7 Then the walls came down, all the way to hell D Never saw them when they're standing Am Never saw them when they fell
[Chorus]
Am Em7 And the walls came down, all the way to hell D Never saw them when they're standing Am Never saw them when they fell
