Ricky Nelson – Mad Mad World (Guitar)

C                        F        C
Everybody's runnin' in a mad, mad world.

C        G       C         
nobody's goin' nowhere. (La, la, la, la.)

C                      F             C
Everybody's gotta have more than the others..

C          G               C
gotta have more than their share.

G                            C
Ever since the devil tempted woman with an apple..

   F                   C
we all had a burden to bear.

C                               F                  C
Now the world keeps turnin' and things are gettin' faster..

C        G        C
nobody's goin' nowhere. (Nowhere.)

C                             F            C
They say the grass is greener on the other side..

C               G         C    
when they cross over they find..(La, la, la, la.)

C                          F       C
everybody's searchin' like you and me,

C              G        C
tryin' to find peace of mind.

G                   C
See that little boy fishin' on the river..

   F                    C
if I could just be like him. (Like him.)

C                             F            C
I'd close my eyes and let the mad world go by..

C               G       C
if only I could be like him. (Like him.)

C                        F               C
Dum dee dum dee dum dum..dum dee dum dee dum.

Dum de dum dee dum dum dum.

C                        F               C
