🎸 Fire Coming Out Of The Monkeys Head Ukulele chords by Gorillaz

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Verse:
Am
Once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain
Am
There was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived
Am
Their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world
        F          Am
Obscured as it was by great clouds
Am
Here they played out their peaceful lives
Am
Innocent of the litany of excess and violence
Am
That was growing in the world below
      F        Am
To live in harmony with the spirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough
     Em  F        E
Then one day, Strangefolk arrived in the town
F         E        Am
They came in camouflage, hidden behind dark glasses
            F     E
But no one noticed them, they only saw shadows
C    G            F            E
You see, without the Truth of the Eyes, the Happyfolk were blind

Interlude:
Am       Em       Am      G
Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes
Am         G      Am      Gm
Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home
Am        Em      Am        G
Jump back from behind them and shoot them in the head
  Am    G      Am      G
Now everybody dancing, the dance of the dead
  Am      G     Am G     Am G Am
The dance of the dead, the dance of the dead


Verse:
Am
In time, Strangefolk found their way into the high reaches of the mountain
F                     Am
And it was there that they found the caves of unimaginable, sincerity and beauty
Am
By chance, they stumbled upon the place where all good souls come to rest
                         E        F
The Strangefolk, they coveted the jewels in these caves above all things
  E            F
And soon they began to mine the mountain
E       Am               F   E
Its rich seam, fueling the chaos of their own world
C           G     F
Meanwhile, down in the town, the Happyfolk slept restlessly
E                        Am
Their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls
Am
Every day, people would wake and stare at the mountain
Am
Why was it bringing darkness into their lives?
Am
And as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain, holes began to appear
F          A                        Am
Bringing with them a cold and bitter wind that chilled the very soul of the Monkey

For the first time
  A       Am
The Happyfolk felt fearful
Am
For they knew that soon the Monkey would stir from its deep sleep
Am
And then came a sound, distant first
Am
It grew into castrophany
  A                   Am
So immense it could be heard far away in space
Am
There were no screams, there was no time
Am
The mountain called Monkey had spoken, there was only fire
         N.C.
And then...nothing


Outro:
     Am   E7      F        Em
O little town in U.S.A., your time has come to see
    F       Em    A7
There's nothing you believe you want
  F     E  C        G    F
But where were you when it all came down on me?
E
 Did you call me? No...
