Intro:
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA

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

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

A augmentedA          D MajorD
So, I headed down to Nashville
          A augmentedA
To become a country star
             E MajorE
Every night you'd find me hangin'
            A augmentedA
At every honky-tonk and bar
          D MajorD
Pretty soon I met a woman
            A augmentedA
Pretty soon she done me wrong
            E MajorE
Pretty soon my life got sadder
         A augmentedA
Than any country song


(Repeat Chorus)


(Repeat Intro)


A augmentedA          D MajorD
So, I gathered up my savvy
             A augmentedA
Bought myself a business suit
            E MajorE
I headed up to New York City
             A augmentedA
Where a man can make some loot
          D MajorD
I got hired Monday morning
          A augmentedA
Downsized that afternoon
             E MajorE
Overcome with grief that evening
          A augmentedA
Now I'm crazy as a loon


           D MajorD
So I'm up here in the north woods
         A augmentedA
Just staring at a lake
            E MajorE
Wondering just exactly how much
           A augmentedA
They think a man can take
            D MajorD
I eat fish to pass the time away
             A augmentedA
'Neath this blue Canadian moon
              E MajorE
This old world has made me crazy
      A augmentedA
Crazy as a loon
                E MajorE
Lord, this world will make you crazy
      A augmentedA
Crazy as a loon
