Verse 1:

F                 Am    Dm
 So much for the city, tell me that you'll dance to the end
       F                                   Am
 Just tell me that you'll dance to the end
F                   Am        Dm
 Hey hey you're the monkees, people said you monkeyed around,
      F                      Am
 But nobody's listening now.

Chorus:
C           F           Dm    G  Em       Am    Em                   Am
 Just don't go back to big sur,  hanging around letting your old man down
C           F          Dm       G                      F 
 Just don't go back to big sur, baby baby please don't go
G
 Baby please don't go.

Verse 2:

 So much for the street lights, they're never gonna guide you home
             F                         Am
 No thet're never gonna guide you home
F                   Am         Dm
 Down at the steam boat show, all the kids start spittin'
F                                          Am
  I guess it didn't live up to the billing.

 Just don't go back to big sur, baby baby please don't go

 Baby baby please don't go.
