[C][C][C][C][C] [G][G] [C] [D] [G] [G]
I think I'm [G] sophisticated,
'Cos I'm [G] living my life like a [D] good homo sapien, [Dsus4][D]
But [G] all around me everybody's multiplying,
And they're [D] walking 'round like flies, man, [Dsus4][D]
So [C] I'm no better than the animals,
Sitting in their [G] cages in the zoo, man, [Gsus4][G]
'Cause com-[G]pared to the flowers,
And the [G] birds, and the trees, [D] I am an [D7] ape-[G]man!
I think I'm [G] so educated, and I'm so civilised,
'Cause I'm a [D] strict vegetarian, [Dsus4][D]
But with the [G] over population,
And in-[G] flation, and starvation,
And the [D] crazy poli - tici - ans, [Dsus4] [D]
I [C] don't feel safe in this world no more,
I [G] don't wanna die in a nuclear war,
I [G] wanna sail away to a distant shore,
And [D] make like an [D7] ape-[G]man!
{soc}
[G] I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, ape man,
Oh, I'm an [D] ape man, [Dsus4][D]
I'm a [G] King Kong man, I'm a vood - doo man,
Oh, I'm an [D] apeman, [Dsus4][D]
'Cause com - [C] pared to the sun that sits in the sky,
Com-[G]pared to the clouds as they roll by,
Com-[G]pared to the bugs, and the spiders, and flies,
[D] I am an [D7] ape-[G]man!
{eoc}
[C] La [C] la [C] la [C] la [C] la, [G] la [G] la [C] [D] [G]
[G] In man's evolution he has created the [D] city,
And the [D] motor traffic rumble,
[G] But, give me half a chance,
And I'd be taking off [D] my clothes
And [D] living in the jungle,
'Cause the [C] only time that I feel at ease,
Is [G] swinging up and down in a coconut tree,
[G] Oh, what a life of luxury to [D] be like an [D7] ape-[G]man!
{soc}
[G] I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman,
Oh, I'm an [D] apeman, [Dsus4][D]
I'm a [G] King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man,
Oh, I'm an [D] apeman, [Dsus4][D]
I [C] look out the window, but I can't see the sky,
The [G] air pollution is a'fogging up my eyes,
I [G] want to get out of this city alive,
And [D] make like an [D7] ape-[G]man!
{eoc}
[C] La [C] la [C] la [C] la [C] la, [G] la [G] la [C] [D] [G]
Ah come and [D7] love me, [D] be my ape man [G] girl
And we will be so [D] happy in my ape man [G] world
{soc}
[G] I'm an ape man, I'm an ape, ape man,
Oh, I'm an [D] ape man, [Dsus4][D]
I'm a [G] King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man,
Oh, I'm an [D] apeman, [Dsus4][D]
[C] I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane,
[G] I'll keep you warm, and you'll keep me sane,
We'll [G] sit in the trees, and eat bananas all day,
[D] Just like an [D7] ape-[G]man!
[G] I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman,
Oh, I'm an [D] apeman, [Dsus4][D]
I'm a [G] King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man,
Oh, I'm an [D] apeman, [Dsus4][D]
I [C] don't feel safe in this world no more,
I [G] don't want to die in a nuclear war,
I [G] want to sail away to a distant shore,
And [D] make like an [D7] ape-[G]man!
