Verse:
 E
Come on, come on, come on, come on

Come on it's such a joy, come on, it's such a joy

Come on let's make it easy, come on let's make it easy 
         A             D
Make it easy, make it easy
      B7                                                 E  D  G  E  G  D
Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey


While the verses are going on, the rhythm guitar repeats the intro 
parts over and over with slight rhythmic variations.  The 
lead guitar does dozens of variations along the following lines:
Listen closely and hear 1001 ways to play those few notes.

-|-----5--------7--5-------------------------etc.-------------------
-|--7-----5--7-----------5--7--7b(9)--5--7---etc.-------------------
-|--------------------7----------------------etc.-------------------

All guitars should should, of course, do the boogie-woogie shuffle 
starting with the A chord:

             A

   Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my ...

.. and here's the fun part.  Cool the way the chords "turn around"
   in the second phrase:

     E          D                G      E           G               D
