                       C
Back before I was a movie star
                      G
Straight off of the farm
                      D
I had a picture of another man's wife
                 G
Tattooed on my arm
                      C
With a pack of Camel cigarettes
                         G
In the sleeve of my tee shirt
                     D
I'm headin' out to Hollywood
                           G
Just to have my feelings hurt

                           C
That town will make you crazy
                       G
Just give it a little time
                                D
You'll be walking 'round in circles
                       G
Down at Hollywood and Vine
                          C
You'll be waitin' on a phone call
                        G
At the wrong end of a broom
                            D
Yes, that town'll make you crazy
                 G
Crazy as a loon

                       C
So, I headed down to Nashville
                      G
To become a country star
                            D
Every night you'd find me hangin'
                        C
At every honky-tonk and bar

                     C
Pretty soon I met a woman
                         G
Pretty soon she done me wrong
                          D
Pretty soon my life got sadder
                G
Than any country song

                         C
That town will make you crazy
                       G
Just give it a little time
                             D
You'll be walking 'round in circles
                         G
Lookin' for that country rhyme
                       C
You'll be waitin' on a phone call
                       G
At the wrong end of a broom
                           D
Yea, that town'll make you crazy
           G
Crazy as a loon
                            D
Yes, that town'll make you crazy
           G
Crazy as a loon

                      C
So, I gathered up my savvy
                           G
Bought myself a business suit
                  D
I headed up to New York City
                          G
Where a man can make some loot
                    C
I got hired Monday morning

                G
Downsized that afternoon
                     D
Overcome with grief that evening
                   G
Now I'm crazy as a loon

                      C
And I'm up here in the north woods
                 G
Just staring at a lake
                         D
Wondering just exactly how much
                      G
They think a man can take
                        C
I eat fish to pass the time away
                   G
Under that blue Canadian moon

                     D
This town'll made me crazy
           G
Crazy as a loon
                                  D
Oh Lord, this world has made me crazy
                  G
Just as crazy as a loon
