Shock The Monkey

Coversong originally made famous by Peter Gabriel

       Dm        Dm
Cover me when I run
      Dm             Dm
Cover me through the fire
Dm
Something knocked me out' the trees
Dm
 Now I'm on my knees
      Dm          Dm
Cover me, darling please
                    C
Hey, hey, hey, hey, monkey, monkey, monkey
                                   Dm
Don't you know when you're going to shock the monkey

Fox the fox, rat up the rat
You can ape the ape, I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
 I can't take any more
Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know when you're going to shock the monkey

               Dm      C                        Dm
Hey, hey, hey, hey (Monkey) Wheels keep turning
    C                        Dm
(Monkey) Something's burning
    C
(Monkey) Don't like it but I guess I'm learning
| Bb | % |
       Shock!
       Shock!
       Shock!
C                     Dm
 Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
 Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Hey, hey, hey, hey (Monkey) Too much at stake
(Monkey) Ground beneath me shake
(Monkey) And the news is breaking

 Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
           Shock the monkey
           Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life
| F | C/E | Dm               [break]
            Shock the monkey
