Let me know if you're hearing this differently. If you paste this into a text editor where each character is the same width, the chord changes should line up with the lyrics.

EVOLUTION MAMA
 G               E        
Old Lucian Burn had a gal
    A       D      G
Way down in Tennessee
G                   E
She told Lucian all about evolution
       A                   D
She was sittin' down on his knee.
    B7                        
Then one fine day, she got gay,
                     E
And started steppin' out.
       A7
But old brother Lucian started a revolution
D7
The neighbors all could hear him shout. (What did he say?)

   

         G               E            
He said, evolution mama, evolution mama
A               D            G
Don't you make a monkey outta me.
         C
He said, evolution mama,
                               G
Don't you think you got me up a tree.

       B7
Now I remember the time I had you nice and tame,
                         E
You was eatin' right outa my hand,
A7                                    
Some fine day, I'm gonna take good aim
          D7
I'm gonna knock that peanut whistle offa your stand.



G                   C             D       G
Now evolution mama, listen while I get you told
    C                                                   B7

      C                   C7
Now I aint half man and I aint half beast
          G                        E
But I can do ya more good than this store bought yeast

Evolution mama, don't you make a monkey outa me.
