The Orange Monkey

  Am                G             
A restlessness took hold my brain,
     F                 G
 and questions I could not hold back
   Am            G           F   
An orange monkey on a chain, on a
         G
 bleak uneven track
Am              G           F   
Told me that to understand, you 
            G
must travel back in time
  Am                G             
I took a plane to a foreign land, 
    F                      G      
and said, "I'll write down what I 
  C
find"
   Am G      Am G
Ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah

  Am                 G            
Beneath a mountain's jagged 
   F                     G
shelves, cloaked with snow and 
shadows sheer
Am                G              
Plates tipped up upon themselves,
     F             G
 the pain of fifty million years
    Am                   G     
And mules and goats were running 
          F           G
wild, a happy chaos carried on
    Am              G        
And old men and the young boys 
              F                G  
smiled, and worked until the day 
       C
was gone
   Am G      Am G
Ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah


[Verse 3]
    Am             G           
The packs of sandy-colored dogs, 
         F                     
walked streets that looked like 
   G
building sites
    Am                 G      
But piles of rocks and dust and 
              F            
smog, could not block out a 
   G
different light
     Am           G                
When I returned I ran to meet, the 
F              G
monkey but his face had changed
   Am              G              
He stood before me on two feet, 
  F               G     C
the track was now a motorway
   Am G      Am G
Ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah
   Am G      Am G
Ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah
