[Intro]
(D) (A)(E) D E A

[Verse 1]
A
I think I'm so phisticated,
                 A                            E
'Cause I'm living my life like a good homo sapien,
       A
But all around me everybody's multiplying,
                   E
And they're walking 'round like flies, man,
       D
So I'm no better than the animals,
                         A
Sitting in their cages in the zoo, man,
                       A
'Cause com - pared to the flowers, and the birds, and the trees,
E                      A
I am an ape - man!

[Verse 2]
                  A
I think I'm so educated, and I'm so civilised,
                    E
'Cause I'm a strict vegetarian,
                     A
But with the over population, and inflation, and starvation,
                E
And the crazy poli - tici - ans,
   D
I don't feel safe in this world no more,
   A
I don't wanna die in a nuclear war,
   A
I wanna sail away to a distant shore,
             E                        A
And make like an ape - man!

[Chorus 1]

A
I'm an ape - man, I'm an ape, ape - man,
                       E
Oh, I'm an ape - man,
          A
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a vood - doo man,
                   E
Oh, I'm an ape - man,
                        D
'Cause com - pared to the sun that sits in the sky,
              A
Com - pared to the clouds as they roll by,
             A
Com - pared to the bugs, and the spiders, and flies,
E                       A
I am an ape - man!

[Break]
(D)                      (A)(E) D E A
La-la, la-la! La - la-la!

[Verse 3]

A                                                           E
In man's evolution he has created the city,
                E                            A
And the motor traffic rumble, but, give me half a chance,
                             E
And I'd be taking off my clothes, and living in the jungle,
                 D
'Cause the only time that I feel at ease,
         A
Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree,
A                                         E                         A
Oh, what a life of luxury to be like an ape - man!

[Chorus 2]

A
I'm an ape - man, I'm an ape, ape - man,
                  E
Oh, I'm an ape - man,
          A
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a vood - doo man,
                    E
Oh, I'm an ape - man,
    D
I look out the window, but I can't see the sky,
       A
The air pollution is a - fogging up my eyes,
  A
I want to get out of this city alive,
          E                             A
And make like an ape - man!

[Bridge]
(D)                      (A)(E) D E A
La-la, la-la! La - la-la!           A- come on and..

E                                         A
...love me ...be my apeman girl, and we'd be so..
