🎸 Verse 1:
          Am7
There's a madman from Manhattan
D                                              Am7   D
There with a man's hat and a floor mat made of satin
             Am7
But this cat was not like this or that
         D                                     Am7
But that which was aptly named for a man whose plan
                                    D
Is a dime in a can downstairs for a dollar
          Am7
If he can win the time with a dame
         D                C G F Am7
He ain't ashamed to holler

🎸 Verse 2:
Am7                                        D
Catch a train with the name of an alphabet letter
        Am7                                              D
Had the brains to remain with the dame right up until he let her think
                               Am7
She was just on the brink of a breakthrough
D
Just on the brink of a breakthrough
              Am7                                      D
But this dime in her can in the sink is enough to just make you think
                              Am7                                            D
That it all comes down to the trust that is covered in rust that you can't rеmove
Am7                                                         D
Sticking around on the grounds that you know that you can't prove
                         C    G F G D  N.C. D
A thing to a judgе and a jury


🎸 Interlude:
D7 Dm7


🎸 Verse 3:
D           Dm7                          D
And then of course an angel comes to him and sings
D
She swims under whiskey with her wings
             Dm                        D
And from the inside of a bottle with a shaft of light
D
She tells him with a song that it is not right


🎸 Chorus:
D               F
It's not right, it's not right
     C                   D
It's not right now, it's wrong
D
But he does not listen to her for long


🎸 Verse 4:
D
He says madmen aren't born, they're cultivated
D
Conned by the conmen in the world the marks created
            Dm          D
And then he cons himself
   Dm                           D
He tricks himself into thinking that he is right


🎸 Chorus:
F
It's not right, it's not right
     C                   D
It's not right now, it's wrong
D
But then he forgets to put it in a song

            Am7
But the cat was not like this or that
         D                                     Am7
But that which was aptly named for a man whose plan
                                    D      C G F G
Is a dime in a can downstairs for a dollar

                               Am7
She was just on the brink of a breakthrough
D                                   Am7
Just on the brink of a breakthrough
D
Just on the brink of a breakthrough
