Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Great Apes: chords

        Am              G
She's a box car rollin' by
       Am                  G
Like a black star in the sky
        Am                G
She's a failure once or twice
       Am                              G
Like a trailer spinnin' out upon dizzy ice

Am                       G
Flowers fly when we grow old
Am                         G
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
         Am                G
She's an eagle out on the road
        Am                                   G
Like my favorite Beatle everyone bought and sold

Chorus:
F                   C
All of my love and half my kisses
F                C
Superstar don't do the dishes
A#               Dm                G
I just want the great apes to be free
F                 C
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
F                    C
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
A#               Dm               G
I just want the great apes to be free

She's a rain bird on the prowl
Like an urge to be yourself that you won't allow
She's a forest that we burned
Just a blueprint for a life that we had never learned

Flowers fly when we grow old
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
She's a lynch mob on the street
Take another step and I will kill the beat

Chorus

         Am                G
She's a bus stop, glockenspiel
         Am                                   G
She's a simulation life that you thought was real
      Am                 G
She's an image that we blurred
        Am                            G
It's a pixelated panther, now let it purr

Chorus

I just want the great apes to be free
I just want the great apes to be free
