verses

   A                                                          E         Esus4 E
(1)I think Im sophisticated cos Im living my life like a good Homosapien
(2)I think Im so educated and Im so civilized cos Im a strict vegetarian

But all around me everybodys multiplying Till theyre walking round like flies man
But with the over population and inflation and starvation and the crazy politicians

D                                                 A                  Asus4  A
So Im no better than the animals sitting in their cages in the zoo man
I dont feel safe in this world no more I dont want to die in a nuclear war

                                                        E           A
Cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees I am an ape man
                                                               (w/riff 1)
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man

chorus

A                                         E
Im an ape man Im an ape ape man oh Im an ape man

Im a King Kong man Im a voodoo man oh Im an ape man

       D
(1)Cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky
(2)I look out my window but I cant see the sky
(3)Ill be your Tarzan youll be my Jane
(4)I dont feel safe in this world no more

A
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
The air pollution is a fogging up my eyes
Ill keep you warm and youll keep me sane
Ill keep you warm and youll keep me sane
I don't want to die in a nuclear war

                                               E           A
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies I am an ape man
I want to get out of this city alive and make like an ape man
Well sit in the trees and eat bananas all day Just like an ape man
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man

 D                A   D E  A (riff 1)
La la la la la  la la

bridge 1
A                                         E
In mans evolution he has created the cities and the motor traffic rumble
A                                            E
But give me half a chance and Id be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle
         D                                 A
Cos the only time that I feel at ease is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
                            E              A      (riff 1)
Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man


bridge 2
             E (riff 2)               A (riff 3)
Ah come and love me,   be my ape man girl
                  E (riff 2)               A    (riff 4)     (riff 1)
And we will be so happy    in my ape man world
