ETo an undercover cop who had a sisterA named

AVieEtnamAnd found out the hard way, Dnobody gives a Adamn

AThey knew that they founEd freedom just across the

EJersey line

ESo they hopped into a stolen car, tooDk

DHighway 99

DAnd the walls cAame down

AAll Ethe wEmay to hell

EmNever saw them when tEhey're stanEmding

EmNever saw them whenA they fell

ATheEm undercover cop never liked the

EmMonkey Man

EmEven back in childhoodA he wanted to see him in the can

AJanEm got married at foEurteen to a racketeer namDed

DBillShe made secreAt calls to the

AMonkey EMan from a mansion on the hill

EIt was out on

EThuDnder Road,

DTweetAer at the wheel

AThey crEashed into paradise, they could hear them tires squeal

EThe undercover coDp pulled up and said "Everyone of you is aA liarIf you don't surrender now, itE's gonna go down to the wire"

EAnd the walls came down

EAEmll the way to EhelDml

DmNever saw them when tAhey're standing

ANevEmer saw tDmheAm when EmtheEy felDl

DAn ambulance rolled Aup, a

AState-TroopeEr close behind

ETweeter took his gun away Dand messed up hiAs mind

AThe undercover coEp was left tied up to a tree

ENear the souvenir stand, by thDe old abandoned factory

DNext day thAe undercover cop was Ehot in pursuit

EHe was taking the whole thing perAsonal, he dGidn't care about thEe loot

EJan had told him many times, "It wC#mas you to me who taugAhtIn Jersey anythingG's legal, as long as you dAon't get caught"

AThe undercover cEop had cornered them, said"Boy, you didn't think this could lasDt?"

DJan jumped out of bedA, said, "There's someplaEce I gotta go"

ETweeter as a shiAeld

AJan said Eto the

EMonkey Man, "I'm not fooled by TweGeter's curlI knew him long bAefore he ever became a JerEsey Girl"

EAnd the wallsEm came down

EmAlGl the way to hell

GNever saw them when they're standing

GNevG#er Bsaw them when they fell

Now the town of

Jersey City is quieting down again

I'm sitting in a gambling club called the

Lion's Den

The TV set was blown up, every bit of it was gone

Ever since the nightly news showed that the

Monkey Man was on

I guess I'll go to

Florida to get myself some sun

There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done

Sometimes

I think of

Tweeter, sometimes

I think of

JanSometimes

I don't think about nothing but the

Monkey Man

And the walls came down

All the way to hell

Never saw them when they're standing

Never saw them when they fell

Tap any line to jump

How to play Headstones - Tweeter and the Monkey Man by blind51de on guitar

This song is a great beginner play-along because the groove is steady and the changes are easy to hear. At about 120 BPM, it feels driving but not rushed, so you can focus on locking in the rhythm and getting comfortable with the song’s repeating motion.

You will use a mix of open shapes and barre shapes. The open chords are A, Dm, E, D, Em, and G, while C#m, G#, and B are the harder barre shapes. The main thing to watch is the opening move between C#m and A, since that change comes up right away and sets the feel for the rest of the chart.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly, C#m - A - C#m - A, until the shape changes feel automatic. Then add the rest of the chord moves in short loops, keeping your hand relaxed. Once the changes are smooth, bring the tempo up in small steps until you can stay with the track comfortably.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
