          Am
  Here we come

                          F
  Walkin' down the street

                      D
  We get the funniest looks from

                   G7
  Ev'ryone we meet


                     C
  Hey, hey we're the Monkees

      F             G               C
  And people say we monkey around

      F         G        C
  But we're too busy singing

     F      G       A
  To put anybody down


  Am
       We go wherever we want to

                          F
  Do what we like to do

                            D
  We don't have time to get restless

                           G7
  There's always something new


                     C
  Hey, hey we're the Monkees

      F             G               C
  And people say we monkey around

      F         G        C
  But we're too busy singing

     F      G       A
  To put anybody down


  Am                           C
       We're just tryin' to be friendly

  F                 G7             C
  Come and watch us sing and play

  F         G7         C
  We're the young generation

      F         G7                 A
  And we've got something to say


        Am
  Anytime

              F
  Or anywhere

                      D
  Just look over your shoulder

                                G7
  Guess who'll be standing there


                     C
  Hey, hey we're the Monkees

      F                G             C
  You never know where we'll be found

  F        G              C
  So you'd better get ready

     F             G         A
  We may be coming to your town



  REPEAT AND FADE:

  G                          C
       Hey, hey we're the Monkees
  G                          C
       Hey, hey we're the Monkees

  G                          C
       Hey, hey we're the Monkees

  etc.

  			Monkees Theme


             Am
  >"Here we come...
                       F
  > walking down the street..
                          D
    we get the funniest looks from
                 G
    everyone we meet

                       C      C7
    Hey Hey we're the Monkees...
          F            G         C   C7
    and people say we monkey around
         F         G    C         C7
    but we're too busy singing
        F      G    Am
    to put anybody down

  there are a couple other verses... one of 'em is

    anytime anywhere
    just look over your shoulder
    guess who'll be standing there

  and there's a repeat of the chorus, only in D:

         F     G      A
    ... put anybody down
                              D      D7
    we're just trying to be friendly
     G                A        D     D7
    something mumble sing and play
     G          A        D     D7
    we're the young generation
        G       A           Bm
    and we got something to say

  and I think there's an E chord in the break to lead back to
  another verse which starts on Am but I forgot the words
