Martin Was A Monkey by Jay Foreman (Capo 4th fret) C Fmaj7 Martin was a monkey C Fmaj7 He lived in London zoo C Fmaj7 He had a monkey tyre C Fmaj7 And a monkey tree branch too Am G But Martin wasn't happy there Am G He sat and dreamt all day Am D(F#) About the thing he wanted most G G7 A skiing holiday He'd shoot off down the mountain And whizz across the snow He'd slalom in between the flags He couldn't wait to go Am But he never did go skiing Dm7 He couldn't go because Gm Martin was a monkey C Fmaj7 And a monkey's what he was. C Fmaj7 He told his friends about it They thought that it was daft They laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed And laughed and laughed and laughed. But he left his branch, he left his tree He leapt apon the floor But he couldn't leave the cage Because a lock was on the door He talked to the zookeepers He asked to be set free But nobody would listen 'Cos they couldn't speak monkey He never did go skiing He couldn't go because Martin was a monkey And a monkey's what he was. Am He stood and looked out from the cage Em It simply wasn't fair Am Why did he have to stay inside Em When skiing was out there? But that's the way life was And there was nothing he could do It seemed that all things had a place And his was in the zoo. So Martin never got his dream He simply sat and cried He spent his life in London Zoo Until the day he died. He never did go skiing He couldn't go because Martin was a monkey And a monkey's what he was. A monkey's what he was. A monkey's what he was. http://www.jayforeman.co.uk www.TAB6.com
