F                Em
So much for the city
 Dm
Tell me that you'll dance to the end
  Em-F                                     G-G-Dm-Am   
Just tell me that you'll dance to the end 
 F                  Em
Hey hey you're The Monkeys
     Dm
And people said you monkeyed around
 Em-F                      G-G-Dm-Am
But nobody's listening now 

C          F           Dm      G
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Em        F
Hanging around
Em                   F
Lettin' your old man down
C          F           Dm     G
Just don't go back to Big Sur
                         F  
Baby, baby please don't go
     G                       F   Em-Em-F ....
Oh, baby, baby please don't go 


So much for the streetlights
They're never gonna guide you home
No they're never gonna guide you home 

Down at the steamboat show
Yeah, all the kids started spittin'
I guess I didn't live up to the billing 

Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hanging around
Lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby, baby please don't go
Oh, baby, baby please don't go 

Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hanging around
Lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Oh, baby, baby please don't go
Oh, baby, baby please don't go
