[Verse]
            A            
I think I'm sophisticated
                                      E         
'cause I'm living my life like a good homosapien
                              A          
But all around me everybody's multiplying
                                 E        
'til they're walking 'round like flies man
          D                                             
So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages
       D      
In the zoo man
                       A                                  
'cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
        A     
I am an apeman
               A                            
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized
                    E         
'cause I'm a strict vegetarian
             A                                          
But with the overpopulation and inflation and starvation
              E          
And the crazy politicians
        D                              
I don't feel safe in this world no more
        A                           
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
                                                E7      A     
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman


[Chorus]
       A     
I'm an apeman
A                
I'm an ape apeman
       E     
I'm an apeman
           A       
I'm a King Kong man
A             
I'm voodoo man
       E     
I'm an apeman
E7              D                              
'cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky
A                                     
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
         A                                    
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies
  E7    A      D A
I am an apeman ■ ■


[Verse]
                          E                   
In man's evolution he has created the city and
                         A                          
The motor traffic rumble ■ but give me half a chance
                  E                                      
And I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle
           D                            
'cause the only time that I feel at ease
   A               A7                    
Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
A                      
O what a life of luxury
   E          A      
To be like an ape man


[Chorus]
A            
I'm an apeman
       A         
I'm an ape apeman
       E7    
I'm an apeman
      A            
I'm a King Kong man
      A         
I'm a voodoo man
       E     
I'm an apeman
D                                            
I look out the window but I can't see the sky
A                                       
The air pollution is afogging up my eyes
  A                                 
I want to get out of this city alive
    E7           A     
And make like an apeman


[Bridge]

            E7     
Come on and love me
E            A   
Be my apeman girl
                E7   
And we'll be so happy
             A     A7
In my apeman world ■ 


[Chorus]
A

I'm a voodoo man
    A  E7 E D     
I'm an ■  ■ apeman
             D                       
I'll be your Tarzan you'll be my Jane
A                                         
I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane
          A                                       
And we'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day
E7           A     
Just like an apeman
A            
I'm an apeman
       A         
I'm an ape apeman
       E7    
I'm an apeman
      A            
I'm a King Kong man
      A         
I'm a voodoo man
       E7    
I'm an apeman
  D                                    
I don't feel safe in this world no more
  A                                 
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
  A                                   
I want to sail away to a distant shore
    E7           A     
And make like an apeman
D A E7 A
