D              A            Bm           A            G        A
Gee, but it's hard when one lowers one's guard to the vultures 
    D      A           Bm        A             G         A
Now me I regard it's a torturous hardship that smolders 
       Bm         G      A
Like a peppermint eaten away 
       Bm            G          A
Will I fight, will I swagger or sway? 
D           A         Bm           A       G           A
Hee hee, my lady, she cries like a baby to scolders 
                 D   A   Bm
See her tumbling down
A        G        A
Tumbling down 
D           A             Bm       A       G         A
Hail to the monkey, we're having a funky reunion 
D          A            Bm        A          G       A
Wasted and sunk, he can only have Sunday communion 
       Bm       G             A
He got nicotine stains in his eyes 
       Bm         G               A
He got nothing to protect but his pride 
    D           A          Bm          A            G       A
Oh! smother the kiss or be drownded in blissful confusion 
                D   A   Bm
See it tumbling down
A        G        A
Tumbling down
