Intro:
D A E A
D A E A
A D
Back before I was a movie star
A
Straight off of the farm
E
I had a picture of another man's wife
A
Tattooed on my arm
D
With a pack of Camel cigarettes
A
In the sleeve of my tee shirt
E
I'm headin' out to Hollywood
A
Just to have my feelings hurt
Chorus:
A D
That town will make you crazy
A
Just give it a little time
E
You'll be walking 'round in circles
A
Down at Hollywood and Vine
D
You'll be waitin' on a phone call
A
At the wrong end of a broom
E
Yes, that town'll make you crazy
A
Crazy as a loon
A D
So, I headed down to Nashville
A
To become a country star
E
Every night you'd find me hangin'
A
At every honky-tonk and bar
D
Pretty soon I met a woman
A
Pretty soon she done me wrong
E
Pretty soon my life got sadder
A
Than any country song
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Intro)
A D
So, I gathered up my savvy
A
Bought myself a business suit
E
I headed up to New York City
A
Where a man can make some loot
D
I got hired Monday morning
A
Downsized that afternoon
E
Overcome with grief that evening
A
Now I'm crazy as a loon
D
So I'm up here in the north woods
A
Just staring at a lake
E
Wondering just exactly how much
A
They think a man can take
D
I eat fish to pass the time away
A
'Neath this blue Canadian moon
E
This old world has made me crazy
A
Crazy as a loon
E
Lord, this world will make you crazy
A
Crazy as a loon
(Repeat Intro)
