APEMAN THE KINKS A I think I'm sophisticated E 'Cos I'm living my life like a good homosapien A But all around me everybody's multiplying E Till they're walking round like flies man D E So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages in the zoo man 'Cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees D E A I am an ape man I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized 'Cos I'm a strict vegetarian But with the over-population and inflation and starvation And the crazy politicians D I don't feel safe in this world no more A I don't want to die in a nuclear war E D A I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man A E I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, I'm an ape man A E I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, I'm an ape man D 'Cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky A compared to the clouds as they roll by Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies E D A I am an ape man A E In man's evolution he has created the cities and the motor traffic rumble, A E but give me half a chance and I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle D 'Cos the only time that I feel at ease A Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree E D A Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man I'm an ape, I'm an ape ape man, I'm an ape man I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man I'm an ape man I look out my window, but I can't see the sky 'Cos the air pollution is fucking up my eyes I want to get out of this city alive And make like an ape man E A Come and love me, be my ape man girl E A And we will be so happy in my ape man world I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, I'm an ape man I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man I'm an ape man The "la-la-la" part goes D-A-E-D-A with the first D and A extended longer, and the E-D-A akin to the "I am an ape man" part. ***************************************************************************************** The above is solely MY INTERPRETATION of this great song, in a format aimed at learning guitarists.
