Intro:  Dm C Dm C

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.

  Just don't go back to Big Sur, hanging around, letting your old man down

 C                       Dm(7)     G                    F
  Just don't go back to Big Sur, baby baby please don't go

  Baby baby please don't go.

Verse 2:

 F                  Am                    Dm
  So much for the street lights, they're never gonna guide you home

              F                             Am
  No they'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.

  Baby baby please don't go.
