Monkey on a String by Wookiefoot from album Activate
With help from Chordify and Riffstation
432 hz tuning
[Part 1]
I uF#sed to let it run saw that Eit was havin fun 
Thought Bthat it would get tired, but it only just begun 
Now I'm anF#noyed with the species as it’s jEumpin branch to branch 
Or thBrow a little feces, or do a little dance 
And my mF#ind isn’t steady it’s just spEinning like a top
Got tBangents and they vanish into English or to Spanish 
And it nF#ever feels finished, I can Ealmost touch the Grail 
The mBonkeys in a circle and he’s swallowin his tail 
[Part 2]
He’s got his bEuddies in a barrel and their arms are locked 
I tBry to get one but only get the whole lot 
I see the clEaws and the fangs and the riots on the way 
Lord wBhat i wouldn’t give to get quiet for a day 
DevEouring itself but it can’t feel the sting 
And the thoBughts keep on turnin till i tAhink i thought of
everytG#hing 
GGot to keep your monkey on a string 
[Instrumental]
 F#-  E- B

Monkey on a String by Wookiefoot from album Activate

432 hz tuning

[Part 1]

F# E

I used to let it run saw that it was havin fun

Thought that it would get tired, but it only just begun

F# E

Now I'm annoyed with the species as it’s jumpin branch to branch

Or throw a little feces, or do a little dance

F# E

And my mind isn’t steady it’s just spinning like a top

Got tangents and they vanish into English or to Spanish

F# E

And it never feels finished, I can almost touch the Grail

The monkeys in a circle and he’s swallowin his tail

[Part 2]

He’s got his buddies in a barrel and their arms are locked

I try to get one but only get the whole lot

I see the claws and the fangs and the riots on the way

Lord what i wouldn’t give to get quiet for a day

Devouring itself but it can’t feel the sting

B A

And the thoughts keep on turnin till i think i thought of

everything

Got to keep your monkey on a string

[Instrumental]
