Ape Man

6  -6    6  7  7  7  7  6
I think I’m sophisticated
-6   6   7  7  7   7    -6  6  -7  -7 -7 -6 -6 6
‘Cos I’m living my life like a good homosapien—
6   7   7  7  6   -6 6 7 7    7  7 -6  6
But all around me everybody’s multiplying
-6    6     -7  -7    -7   -7   -6    6
And they’re walking round like flies man
7  -9  -9 -9  7   -8   7 -9 -9 -9  -9  7  -8   7   8  8
So I’m no better than the animals sitting in their cages
8   8   7   7
In the zoo man
6    6   7  7   7   -6  6  -6   6    7    7   7    6
‘Cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
-9 -8 -8 -7   7
I- am an ape man

6   -6   6  7  7 7 7 6   -6  6  7   7  7  6
I think I’m so educated and I’m so civilized
6  -6  6   -7   -7 -7 -6 -6 6
‘Cos I’m a strict vegetarian—
6   -6   6  7 7  7  7 -6  6 -6   6  7  7   7    7 -6  6
And with the over-population and inflation and starvation
-6   6  -7 -7 -7 -7 -6 -7 6
And the crazy politicians–

7  -9    -9   -9  7   7     -9  -9 -10
I don’t feel safe in this world no more
-9   8    8   8   8  7  7  8 8 8   9
I- don’t want to die in a nuclear war
7  8   8   8   8  8 7  7  8  8     9    8   -9   -8  -8 -7   7
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man

7  7   7   7   -6  6   7   7   6   6  -6  6  -7   6
I’m an ape man, I’m an ape ape man, oh I’m an ape man
6  6  7    7    6  -6   7  7   6   6
I’m a King Kong man I’m voodoo man, oh
-6  6  -7   6
I’m an ape man

7   7  -9   -9 -9  -9   7    -9  -9 -9  -10
‘Cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky
-9  8   8   8    8    7   8    8   9
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
7  8   8   8   8    7   7   8  8    8    9
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies
-9 -8 -8 -7   7
I- am an ape man
-9 -9 -9 -9 -9 8  9  -9 -8 -8 7
la la la la la la la la la la la

(Spoken)
In man’s evolution he has created the cities and
The motor traffic rumble, but give me half a chance
And I’d be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle

7   7  -9 -9  -9   7  -9  -9  -9 -10
But the only- time that I feel at ease
-9   8  8   8   8   8   7  7  8 8 8   9
Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
8   8   8  8   7   8 8 9 8  -9  -8  -8 -7   7
Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man

7  -9  -9  -9  -9 -9    7  7  -9   -9  -9  -10
I look out the window, but I can’t see the sky
-9   8   8  8  8  7  7  8   8  8  8   9
‘Cos air pollution is a fogging up my eyes
7  8   8   8   8  8   7   8  8  8 9
I want to get out of this city alive
8   -9   -8  -8 -7   7
And make like an ape man
-9 -9 -9 -9 -9 8  9  -9 -8 -8 7
la la la la la la la la la la la

9 9 9 -9 -8 6 6 9 -9 8
Come on and love me, be my ape man girl
6 9 9 8 -9 -8 6 6 8 -8 7
And we’ll be so happy in my ape man world

-9  -9  -9  -9  8    -9    -9 -9 -10
I’ll be your Tarzan, you’ll be my Jane
8    8    8   8    7    8     8   8   9
I’ll keep you warm and you’ll keep me sane
7    8  8   8    8    7   7  7  8  8  8   9
We’ll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day
-9   -8  -8 -7   7
Just like an ape man

7  -9    -9   -9  7   7    -9   -9 -10
I don’t feel safe in this world no more
-9  8    8   8   8  7  7  8 8 8   9
I don’t want to die in a nuclear war
7  8   8   8   8  8 7  7  8    8     9
I want to sail away to a diff’rent shore
8   -9   -8  -8 -7   7
And make like an ape man.
-9 -9 -9 -9 -9 8  -9
la la la la la la la
-9 -8 -8 7
La La La la

Ape Man
