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

A                       D
That town will make you crazy

                      A
Just give it a little time

                            E
You'll be walking 'round in circles

                      A
Lookin' for that Country Rhyme

                       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
D A E A D A E A
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
