[Verse 1]
AA
| / /_/_/_//_/_/_//_/_/_/ | I think I'm sophisticated,
AEE4E
'Cos I'm living my life like a good homo sapien,
A
But all around me everybody's multiplying,
EE4E
And they're walking 'round like flies, man,
D
So I'm no better than the animals,
AA4A
Sitting in their cages in the zoo, man,
A
'Cause com - pared to the flowers,
AE7EEA
And the birds, and the trees, I am an ape - man!
^ ^ ^ ^
[Verse 2]
N.C. A
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilised,
EE4E
'Cause I'm a strict vegetarian,
A
But with the over population,
A
And in - flation, and starvation,
EE4E
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 N.C.
And make like an ape - man!

I'm an ape - man, I'm an ape, ape - man,
EE4E
Oh, I'm an ape - man,
A
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a vood - doo man,
EE4E
Oh, I'm an ape - man,
D
'Cause com - pared to the sun that sits in the sky,
A
Com - pared to the clouds as they roll by,
A
Com - pared to the bugs, and the spiders, and flies,
E7EEA
I am an ape - man!

[Verse 3]
AE
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,
AE7EEA
Oh, what a life of luxury to be like an ape - man!

EE4E
Oh, I'm an ape - man,
A
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a vood-doo man,
EE4E
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 N.C.
And make like an ape - man!
