(ver. 1)
Jethro Tull
[Intro]
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
 
[Instrumental 1]
Bm D G
Bm D
Bm D G
 
[Verse 2]
    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
Am F     G
   Steel monkey
Am F     G
   Steel monkey
Am F     G      Am F G
   Steel monkey

[Verse 3]
  E5                                    G
I work in the thunder and I work in the rain
  E5                        C            A
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
E                        F#
We bolt those beams then climb again
Bm D
   Steel monkey
 
[Instrumental 3]
