Gorilla by James Taylor
Gorilla
[Verse 1]
Em A Em A
He's got arms like legs, he's got hands on his feet
Em A Em A G
He's got a nose like a doughnut, got a tendency to overeat
D C G Em A
He don't use tools or weapons, he don't eat meat
Em A Em A
He likes to stick to the bushes, tends to avoid the street
G D C G Em A
But he rides my El Dorado, baby, when he comes to town
Em A Em A
You know he's out there somewhere, trying to track you down
[Verse 2]
Em A Em A
Look up in the sky, mama that's the one, yeah, uh huh
Em A Em A G
See the mighty profile, block the noonday sun
D C G Em A
He comes from the heart of darkness a thousand miles from here
Em A Em A
That's the land where they understand what a woman might like to hear
G D C G Em A
You know that he loves you baby, for what you really are
Em A Em A
His love is as burning hot, as a big old ten cent cigar
[Middle eight]
Em A Em A
[gorilla grunts]
[Verse 3]
Em A Em A
Now most of y'all have seen a gorilla in a cage at the local zoo
Em A Em A
He mostly sits around contemplating, all the things that he'd prefer to do
G D C G Em A
He dreams about the world outside from behind those bars of steel
Em A Em A
And no one seems to understand about the heartache the man can feel
G D C G Em A
The people stop and stare but nobody seems to care
Em A Em A
It don't seem right somehow, it just don't seem fair
Em A
Nononono, nononono, sweet sweet doody doo,
Em A Em A Em A
Come on baby, he's still a gorilla, [gorilla grunts]
