Part Man Part Monkey Chords & Lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

They prosecuted [Cm]some poor sucker in these United States

For teachin' that man descended from the apes
They coulda [Fm]settled that case without a fuss or fight
If they'd seen me [Cm]chasin' you, sugar, through the jungle last night
They'd [G7]called in that jury and-a one, two, three, said,
"Part [Cm]man, part monkey, definitely"

| Cm | Cm | Cm | G7 |

Well the [Cm]church bell rings from the corner steeple

Man in a monkey suit, swears he'll do no evil
Offers [Fm]his lover's prayer, but his soul lies
[Cm]Dark and driftin', and unsatisfied
Well [G7]hey, bartender, tell me what do ya see
Part [Cm]man, part monkey, looks like to me

| Cm | Cm | Cm | G7 |

Well, the [Fm]night is dark, the moon is full
The [Cm]flowers of romance exert their pull
We [Fm]talk awhile, my fingers slip
I'm [G7]hard and crackling like a whip

| Cm | Cm | Cm | G7 |

[Guitar solo] | Cm | Cm | Cm | Cm | Fm | Fm | Cm | Cm | G7 | G7 | Fm | Fm | Cm | G7 |

Well did [Cm]God make man in a breath of holy fire

Or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire
Well the [Fm]man on the street believes what the bible tells him so
But you can [Cm]ask me, mister, because I know
Tell them [G7]soul-suckin' preachers to come on down and see
Part [Cm]man, part monkey, baby, that's me

| Cm | Cm | Cm | Cm | Fm | G7 | Cm | G7 | x4 and fade
