Artist: Warren Zevon
Album: I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

Intro:  A/D/A/E/A/D/A
A                       D     
Big gorilla at the L.A. zoo.  
A                         E
Snatched the glasses right off my face.
A                   D     
Took the keys to my BMW.   
A                E       A
Left me here to take his place.
A                D                
I wish the ape a lot of success.  
A            E
I'm sorry my apartment's a mess.
A                         D               
Most of all I'm sorry if I made you blue.  
A                  E     A
Gorilla you're a desperado.
A                            D                            
They say Jesus will find you wherever you go.
A                               E         A
When he'll come lookin' for you they don't know.
A                          D                     
In the meantime keep your profile low.  
A                 E      A
Gorilla you're a desperado.

F#m                    E              
He built a house on an acre of land.  
D                  A
He called in Villa Gorilla.
F#m             E                   
Now I hear he's gettin' divorced.   
D             A
Layin low at LaTagge of course.

A/D/A/E/A/D/A

F#m               E               
Then the ape grew very depressed.  
D                           A
Went through transactional analysis.
F#m                 E                    
He plays backup on Runs in the Rain.   
D                           A
Still he's shackled to that platinum chain.

A                       D     
Big gorilla at the L.A. zoo.  
A                          E
Snatched the glasses right off my face.
A                   D     
Took the keys to my BMW.   
A                E       A
Left me here to take his place.  (ha!)
