[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Am G Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to Vietnam F Am And found out the hard way, nobody gives a damn Am G They knew that they found freedom just across that Jersey line F Am So they hopped into a stolen car, took Highway 99
[Chorus]
Am Em7 And the walls came down, all the way to hell Dm Never saw them when they're standing Am | Am | Never saw them when they fell (Lick)
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Am G It was out on thunder road, Tweeter at the wheel F Am They crashed into paradise you could hear them tires squeal Am G The undercover cop pulled up, said "Everyone of you is a liar F 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 Dm Never saw them when they're standing Am Never saw them when they fell
[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Am G Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit F He was taking the whole thing personally Am He didn't care about the loot Am G Jan had told him many times "It was you to me who taught, F 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 Dm Never saw them when they're standing Am Never saw them when they fell
[Interlude]

[Verse 7]
Am G Someplace by Rahway prison they ran out of gas F The undercover cop had cornered them said Am "Boy, you didn't think that this could last." Am G Jan jumped 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."
[Verse 8]
Am G The undercover cop was found face down in a field F Am The Monkey Man on the river bridge using Tweeter as a shield Am G Jan said to the Monkey Man "I'm not fooled by Tweeters curl, F Am I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl."
[Chorus]
Am Em7 And the walls came down, all the way to hell Dm Never saw them when they're standing Am Never saw them when they fell
[Interlude]

[Verse 9]
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 been blown up, every bit of it is gone F Am Ever since the nightly news show that the Monkey Man was on
[Verse 10]
Am G I guess I'll go to Florida and get myself some sun F Am There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done Am G Sometime I think of Tweeter, sometimes I think of Jan F Am Sometimes I don't think about nothing but the Monkey Man
[Chorus]
Am Em7 And the walls came down, all the way to hell Dm 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 Dm Never saw them when they're standing Am Never saw them when they fell
