The Orange Monkey Chords

(ver. 1)
Pj Harvey
[Verse 1]

  Am                G                  Dm                G
A restlessness took hold my brain, and questions I could not hold back
   Am            G           Dm           G
An orange monkey on a chain, on a bleak uneven track
Am              G           Dm              G
Told me that to understand, you must travel back in time
  Am                G                 Dm                     G        C
I took a plane to a foreign land, and said, "I'll write down what I find"
   Am G      Am G
Ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah


[Verse 2]

  Am                 G               Dm                    G
Beneath a mountain's jagged shelves, cloaked with snow and shadows sheer
Am                G                   Dm            G
Plates tipped up upon themselves, the pain of fifty million years
    Am                   G               Dm          G
And mules and goats were running wild, a happy chaos carried on
    Am              G                      Dm               G         C
And old men and the young boys smiled, and worked until the day was gone
   Am G      Am G
Ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah


[Verse 3]

    Am             G                     Dm                       G
The packs of sandy-coloured dogs, walked streets that looked like building sites
    Am                 G                    Dm              G
But piles of rocks and dust and smog, could not block out a different light
     Am           G                Dm             G
When I returned I ran to meet, the monkey but his face had changed
   Am              G                Dm              G     C
He stood before me on two feet, the track was now a motorway
   Am G      Am G
Ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah
   Am G      Am G
Ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah
