The Orange Monkey(Chords)

	        
verse 1 

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


verse 2 

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


verse 3 

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