[C][C][C][C][C] [G][G] [C] [D] [G] [G]

I think I'm [G] sophisticated,
'Cos I'm [G] living my life like a [D] good homo sapien, [D]
But [G] all around me everybody's multiplying,
And they're [D] walking 'round like flies, man, [D]
So [C] I'm no better than the animals,
Sitting in their [G] cages in the zoo, man, [G]
'Cause com-[G]pared to the flowers,
And the [G] birds, and the trees, [D] I am an [D7] ape-[G]man!

I think I'm [G] so educated, and I'm so civilized,
'Cause I'm a [D] strict vegetarian, [D] but with the [G] over population,
And in-[G] flation, and starvation, and the [D] crazy poli - tici - ans,  [D]
I [C] don't feel safe in this world no more, I [G] don't wanna die in a nuclear war, I [G] wanna sail away to a distant shore, and [D] make like an [D7] ape-[G]man!

[G] I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, ape man,
Oh, I'm an [D] ape man, [D]
I'm a [G] King Kong man, I'm a vood-doo man,
Oh, I'm an [D] apeman, [D]
'Cause com-[C]-pared to the sun that sits in the sky,
Com-[G]pared to the clouds as they roll by,
Com-[G]pared to the bugs, and the spiders, and flies,
[D] I am an [D7] ape-[G]man!

[G] In man's evolution he has created the [D] city,
And the [D] motor traffic rumble, [G] But, give me half a chance,
And I'd be taking off [D] my clothes, and [D] living in the jungle,
'Cause the [C] only time that I feel at ease, is [G] swinging up and down in a coconut tree.  [G] Oh, what a life of luxury to [D] be like an [D7] ape-[G]man!

[G] I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman,
Oh, I'm an [D] apeman, [D]
I'm a [G] King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man,
Oh, I'm an [D] apeman, [D]
I [C] look out the window, but I can't see the sky. The [G] air pollution is a'fogging up my eyes. I [G] want to get out of this city alive, and [D] make like an [D7] ape-[G]man!

[C] La [C] la [C] la [C] la [C] la, [G] la [G] la [C] [D] [G]

Ah come and [D7] love me, [D] be my ape man [G] girl
And we will be so [D] happy in my ape man [G] world

[G] I'm an ape man, I'm an ape, ape man,
Oh, I'm an [D] ape man, [D]
I'm a [G] King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man,
Oh, I'm an [D] apeman, [D]
[C] I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane, [G] I'll keep you warm, and you'll keep me sane, We'll [G] sit in the trees, and eat bananas all day, [D] Just like an [D7] ape-[G]-man!

[G] I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman,
Oh, I'm an [D] apeman, [D]
I'm a [G] King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man,
Oh, I'm an [D] apeman, [D]
I [C] don't feel safe in this world no more, I [G] don't want to die in a nuclear war, I [G] want to sail away to a distant shore, and [D] make like an [D7] ape-[G]man!
