Back before [D] I was a movie star, straight off [A] of the farm, I had a [E] picture of another man's
wife tattooed [A] on my arm, with a pack of [D] Camel cigarettes in the sleeve of [A] my t-shirt.
I'm heading out [E] to Hollywood, just to have my [A] feelings heard.
That town will [D] make you crazy, just give it a [A] little time.
You'll be walking [E] around in circles, down in Hollywood [A] and Vine.
You'll be waiting [D] on a phone call, at the wrong [A] end of a broom.
Yes, that town [E] will make you crazy, crazy [A] as a loon.
So heading [D] down to Nashville, you become [A] a country star.
Every night [E] you'd find me hanging, at every honky [A]-tonkin' bar.
Pretty soon [D] I met a woman, pretty soon she done [A] me wrong.
Pretty soon [E] my life got sadder, than [A] any country song.
That town will make [D] you crazy, just give [A] it a little time.
You'll be walking around [E] in circles, looking for [A] that country rhyme.
You'll be waiting on [D] a phone call, at the wrong end of [A] a broom.
Yes, that town will make [E] you crazy, crazy as [A] a loon.

So I gathered [D] up my savvy, bought myself [A] a business suit.
I headed up to [E] New York City, where a man can [A] make some loot.
I got hired [D] Monday morning, and that's how I was that [A] afternoon.
Overcome with [E] grief that evening, now I'm crazy [A] as a loon.
So I'm up here [D] in the Northwoods, just staring [A] at a lake.
Wondering just [E] exactly how much, they [A] think a man can take.
I ain't finished to [D] pass the time away, beneath this blue [A] Canadian moon.
This old world has [E] made me crazy, crazy [A] as a loon.
Lord, this world will [E] make you crazy, crazy [A] as a loon.
