Bm D A Bm E A x2
[Verse 1]
E5 G
As the moon slips up, and the sun sets down
E5 C A
I'm a highrise jockey, and I'm heaven-bound
E5 G
Do the workboot shuffle, loose brains from brawn
E5 C A
I'm a monkey puzzle and the lid is on
[Chorus 1]
C#m D#m
Can you guess my name? Can you guess my trade?
E F#
I'm going to catch you anyway
C#m D#m
You might be right, I'll give you guesses three
E F#
Feel me climbing up your knee
Bm D
Guess what I am - I'm a steel monkey

E5 G
Now some men hustle and some just think
E5 C A
And some go running before you blink
E5 G
And some look up and some look down
E5 C A
From three hundred feet above the ground
[Chorus 2]
C#m D#m
Can you guess my name? And can you guess my trade?
E F#
I won't rest before the world is made
C#m D#m
Arm in arm the angels fly
E F#
Keep me from falling out the sky

E5 G
I work in the thunder and I work in the rain

I work at my drinking and I feel no pain
E5 G
I work on women, if they want me to
E5 C A
You can have me climb all over you
[Chorus 3]
C#m D#m
Now, have you guessed my name? And have you guessed my trade?
E F#
I'm cheap at the money I get paid
C#m D#m
In the sulphur city, where men are men

We bolt those beams then climb again
