Verse 1:
  A                                     A
| / /_/_/_//_/_/_//_/_/_/ | I think I'm sophisticated,
         A                     E                E   E
'Cos I'm living my life like a good homo sapien,
    A
But all around me everybody's multiplying,
            E                               E   E
And they're walking 'round like flies, man,
   D
So I'm no better than the animals,
                 A                       A  A
Sitting in their cages in the zoo, man,
             A
'Cause com - pared to the flowers,
        A                     E7 E     E     A
And the birds, and the trees, I  am an ape - man!
                              ^  ^     ^     ^

Verse 2:
(nc)        A
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilised,
             E                   E   E
'Cause I'm a strict vegetarian,
             A
But with the over population,
         A
And in - flation, and starvation,
        E                         E   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,
    E7   E       E     A    (nc)
And make like an ape - man!

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a vood - doo man,

Oh, I'm an ape - man,
             D
'Cause com - pared to the sun that sits in the sky,

Com - pared to the bugs, and the spiders, and flies,

I  am an ape - man!

Verse 3:
A                                        E
   In man's evolution he has created the city,
        E
And the motor traffic rumble,
A
 ...But, give me half a chance,
                  E
And I'd be taking off my clothes
    E
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                            E7 E       E     A
Oh, what a life of luxury to be like an ape - man!

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,
    E7   E       E     A    (nc)
And make like an ape - man!

I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane,

I'll keep you warm, and you'll keep me sane,

We'll sit in the trees, and eat bananas all day,
E7   E       E     A    (nc)
Just like an ape - man!
