Story behind the song
A dream: I woke up as Bob Dylan was saying "Monkey on a String"
Lyrics
[Dm]Well I went I went downtown to find a [C]monkey on a [Dm]string. The [C]monkey didn't have to [G]do any[Dm]thing [Dm]Instead I found a [C]chicken in a [Dm] can and [C]that sure put a [G]damper in my [Dm]plan I've fallen to the sidewalk in a spin surely a disgrace to fellow men I've found a crack in the sidewalk where I lay if I look to close I'll prob'ly have to stay [Bb]The search for monkies is something that I've [Dm] found [Bb]reveals nothing at all until you've hit the [Dm]ground [Bb]one damn monkey can spoil the whole damn [Dm]bunch [C]especially when that monkey was your [Dm]lunch 2 sets of verse progression they say a monkey on your back can really sting but just try one connected to a string When you find him calmly sitting with a can you'll see which on'e the monkey and who's the man [Bb]The search for monkies is something that I've [Dm] found [Bb]reveals nothing at all until you've hit the [Dm]ground [Bb]one damn monkey can spoil the whole damn [Dm]bunch [C]especially when that monkey was your [Dm]lunch they say a monkey on your back can really sting but just try one connected to a string When you find him calmly sitting with a can you'll see which one's the monkey and who's the man you'll see which one's the monkey and who's the man never keep a monkey on a string
