_ 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. _
