PJ Harvey - The Orange Monkey Chords

[verse 1]
  Am                G
a restlessness took hold my brain,
    F                 G
and questions I could not hold back
   Am            G
An orange monkey on a chain,
F            G
on a bleak uneven track
Am              G
Told me that to understand,
F               G
you must travel back in time
  Am                G                 F
I took a plane to a foreign land, and said,
                 G        C
"I'll write down what I find"
   Am G      Am G
Ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah

[verse 2]
Am                 G
 Beneath a mountain's jagged shelves,
F                     G
cloaked with snow and shadows sheer
Am                G
Plates tipped up upon themselves,
    F             G
the pain of fifty million years
    Am                   G
And mules and goats were running wild,
  F           G
a happy chaos carried on
    Am              G
And old men and the young boys smiled,
    F                G         C
and worked until the day was gone
   Am G      Am G
Ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah

[verse 3]
Am             G
 The packs of sandy-colored dogs,
       F                        G
walked streets that looked like building sites
    Am                 G
But piles of rocks and dust and smog,
      F               G
could not block out a different light
     Am           G
When I returned I ran to meet,
    F              G
the monkey but his face had changed
   Am              G
He stood before me on two feet,
    F               G     C
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
