C                   F
Back before I was a movie star

                    C
Straight off of the farm

                   G
I had a picture of another man's wife

               C
Tattooed on my arm

                     F
With a pack of Camel cigarettes

                        C
In the sleeve of my tee shirt

                   G
I'm headin' out to Hollywood

                         C
Just to have my feelings hurt
Chorus:
C                       F
That town will make you crazy

                      C
Just give it a little time

                            G
You'll be walking 'round in circles

                      C
Down at Hollywood and Vine

                       F
You'll be waitin' on a phone call

                      C
At the wrong end of a broom

                           G
Yes, that town'll make you crazy

           C
Crazy as a loon

C                    F
So, I headed down to Nashville

                    C
To become a country star

                          G
Every night you'd find me hangin'

                        C
At every honky-tonk and bar

                    F
Pretty soon I met a woman

                        C
Pretty soon she done me wrong

                        G
Pretty soon my life got sadder

                 C
Than any country song
(Repeat Chorus) (Repeat Intro)
C                    F
So, I gathered up my savvy

                         C
Bought myself a business suit

                        G
I headed up to New York City

                          C
Where a man can make some loot

                   F
I got hired Monday morning

                    C
Downsized that afternoon

                         G
Overcome with grief that evening

                   C
Now I'm crazy as a loon

                      F
So I'm up here in the north woods

                  C
Just staring at a lake

                       G
Wondering just exactly how much

                     C
They think a man can take

                       F
I eat fish to pass the time away

                          C
'Neath this blue Canadian moon

                           G
This old world has made me crazy

           C
Crazy as a loon

                               G
Lord, this world will make you crazy

           C
Crazy as a loon
(Repeat Intro)
