Dan’s Big Awesome Acoustic Songbook

The Monkees - The Monkees

Originally in C (then D, then E), I play in G (then A, then B)

Vox on the 5 on “come”, which will feel really low in my key

Here we Emcome, walking down the Cstreet

We get the funniest Alooks from everyone we Dmeet

Hey, hey, we’re the GMonkees G7

And Cpeople say we Dmonkey arGound G7

But Cwe’re too Dbusy Gsinging G7

To Cput anybDody dEmown

We go wherever we Emwant to

Do what we like to dCo

We don’t have time to get restAless

There’s always something nDew

Hey, hey, we’re the GMonkees G7

And Cpeople say we Dmonkey arGound G7

But Cwe’re too Dbusy Gsinging G7

To Cput anybDody dEown

We’re just trying to be Afriendly

DCome and watch us sEing and Aplay

DWe’re the Eyoung generAation

And Dwe’ve got Esomething to F#say

Brief trippy bridge

F#B

AnytiEmme, or anywheCre

Just look over your sAhoulder

Guess who’ll be standing tDhere

Hey, hey, we’re the GMonkees G7

And Cpeople say we Dmonkey arGound G7

But Cwe’re too Dbusy Gsinging G7

To Cput anybDody dGown C→ D

Solo (sort of), on the I for a long time

Hey, hey, we’re the GMonkees G7

And Cpeople say we Dmonkey arGound G7
