The song’s actually in the key of Eb, but I’m guessing
[intro]
D
[verse]
D If you like your apples sweet D And your streets are not concrete A You’d be in your bed by 9 every night A Take your hand-spanked, corn-fed gal A And your best friend’s four-eyed pal A D To a treat right down the street that’s dynamite D Well, let your conscience be your guide D If you put your foot inside D7 G You wish you left your well enough alone G When you got hell to pay, D B7 Put the truth on layaway and E A D Blame it on that ol’ crazy bone
[Chorus]
G D Crazy bone, crazy bone E7 A Well you wish you left your well enough alone G When you got hell to pay, D B7 Put the truth on layaway and E A D And blame it on that ol’ crazy bone
[Verse]
D Don’t be stuck up in Alaska D When you should be up in Nebraska A On a Thursday when it’s egg & daughter nite A When the farmers come to town A And they spread them eggs around A D And they drop their daughters down at the roller rink D Well, you’re probably standing there D With your slicked-back Brylcreem hair D7 G Your Luckys and your daddy’s fine-tooth comb G If they knew what you were thinking, D B7 They’d run you out of Lincoln E A D Just blame it on that ol’ crazy bone.
[Chorus]
G D Crazy bone, crazy bone E7 A Well you must’ve left your wisdom tooth at home G If they knew what you were thinking, D B7 They’d run you out of Lincoln E A D Just blame it on that ol’ crazy bone
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D When the grandkids all are grown D And they’ve put you in a home D A And eternity is approaching fast A Yeah, you’re half out of your head A And you probably pissed the bed A D And you can’t see a thing to save your ass D When far across the prairie D In the local cemetery D7 They already got your name G Carved out in stone G When all them nurses say, D B7 “Grandpa, why you walk that way?” E A D B7 Just blame it on that ol’ crazy bone E A Yeah, blame it on that ol’ crazy
[Chorus]
G D Bone, crazy bone E7 A And everybody in that olD folks home G If they knew what you were thinking, D B7 They’d run you out of Lincoln E A D B7 Just blame it on that ol’ crazy bone E A D B7 And everybody in that ol’ folks home E A D Yeah, blame it on that ol’ crazy bone.
