Gorilla

 Em                 A     Em     
He's got arms like legs, he's got
               A
 hands on his feet
 Em                      A        
He's got a nose like a doughnut, 
      Em             A   G
got a tendency to overeat
    D         C        G       
He don't use tools or weapons, 
Em             A
 he don't eat meat
Em                        A   
He likes to stick to the bushes, 
    Em                   A
tends to avoid the street
 G      D             C     G    
But he rides my El Dorado, baby, 
 Em               A
when he comes to town
 Em                       A       
You know he's out there somewhere,
   Em                  A
  trying to track you down

    D              C        G    
He comes from the heart of 
       Em                 A
darkness a thousand miles from here
 Em                       
That's the land where they 
  A                 Em            
understand what a woman might like
      A
 to hear
 G    D           C         G   
You know that he loves you baby,
       Em              A
  for what you really are
Em              A

big old ten cent cigar

 Em                     A   
Now most of y'all have seen a 
                Em                A
gorilla in a cage at the local zoo
Em                     A         
He mostly sits around 
               Em                  
contemplating,  all the things that
      A
 he'd prefer to do
G    D               C        G
He dreams about the world 
          Em                   A
outside from behind those bars of 
steel
 Em                  A            
And no one seems to understand 
        Em                    A
about the heartache the man can feel
 G   D       C        G        
The people stop and stare but 
Em              A
nobody seems to care
Em             A            Em  
It don't seem right somehow,  it
                  A
 just don't seem fair
 Em                   A
Nononono, nononono, sweet sweet 
doody doo,
 Em         A                Em  
Come on baby,  he's still a 
      A       Em      A
