[Verse 1]
F5 G5 Bb5    F5 G5 Bb5
    Last night   and the night 
before
F5 G5 Bb5           F5 G5 Bb5
     The thunder crowed   and the 
rooster roared
F5 G5 Bb5            F5 G5 
    I woke up sweating    on 
Bb5
somebody's floor
F5 G5 Bb5           F5 G5
    You know how the story goes

[Interlude]
D5 C5 Bb5

[Verse 2]
F5 G5 Bb5         F5 G5 Bb5
The   dirty streets    they can be 
so mean
F5 G5 Bb5        F5 G5 Bb5
    Everybody trying   to live so 
clean
F5 G5 Bb5          F5 G5 Bb5
    Me, I'm stuck here in between
F5 G5 Bb5              F5 G5
    And it's a fine line

[Chorus 1]
        F5         Ab5
Down on monkey hill
               C5           
Saw a brother screaming on the 
B5   Bb5
corner
F5                  Ab5           
  Talkin' 'bout some low down 
 C5    B5  Bb5
dirty shame

[Verse 3]
F5 G5 Bb5                  F5 
    Between the buildings and the 
G5 Bb5
alleyways
F5 G5 Bb5                       
    That's where the living is 
F5 G5 Bb5
done
F5 G5 Bb5                  F5 
    Where the young boys chase the 
G5 Bb5
dragon
F5 G5 Bb5                       
    That's where flesh and steel
    F5 G5
 are one

[Chorus 2]
        F5         Ab5
Down on monkey hill
                      C5           
Saw another brother testifying this
B5   Bb5
 evening
F5                 Ab5     
    Talkin' 'bout how he lost 
       C5    B5  Bb5
everything

And he said
F5 N.C.
   "Gonna get so high that I just 
don't know my name"

[Bridge]
F5 G5 Bb5  N.C.
    Everybody's talking shit and 
jivin'
F5 G5 Bb5  N.C.
    Hard to tell which is which
F5 G5 Bb5  N.C.
    Dealers and squealers, 
businessmen and bankers
F5 G5 Bb5  N.C.
    They all be scratchin' that itch

[Chorus 3]
        F5         Ab5
Down on monkey hill
                      C5           
Saw another brother testifying this
B5   Bb5
 morin’
F5                Ab5            
    Talkin' 'bout how he left his
