As recorded by Jack White (From the 2022 Album ENTERING HEAVEN ALIVE) [Intro] Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D [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
[Interlude] Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D [Verse 5]
          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 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
[Verse 6]
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                                   Am7
Just on the brink of a breakthrough

D
Just on the brink of a breakthrough
[Outro] C G F G Am
