C
Back before I was a movie star
G
Straight off of the farm
D
I had a picture of another man's wife
G
Tattooed on my arm
C
With a pack of Camel cigarettes
G
In the sleeve of my tee shirt
D
I'm headin' out to Hollywood
G
Just to have my feelings hurt
C
That town will make you crazy
G
Just give it a little time
D
You'll be walking 'round in circles
G
Down at Hollywood and Vine
C
You'll be waitin' on a phone call
G
At the wrong end of a broom
D
Yes, that town'll make you crazy
G
Crazy as a loon
C
So, I headed down to Nashville
G
To become a country star
D
Every night you'd find me hangin'
C
At every honky-tonk and bar
C
Pretty soon I met a woman
G
Pretty soon she done me wrong
D
Pretty soon my life got sadder
G
Than any country song
C
That town will make you crazy
G
Just give it a little time
D
You'll be walking 'round in circles
G
Lookin' for that country rhyme
C
You'll be waitin' on a phone call
G
At the wrong end of a broom
D
Yea, that town'll make you crazy
G
Crazy as a loon
D
Yes, that town'll make you crazy
G
Crazy as a loon
INSTRUMENTAL
C G D G C G D G
C
So, I gathered up my savvy
G
Bought myself a business suit
D
I headed up to New York City
G
Where a man can make some loot
C
I got hired Monday morning
G
Downsized that afternoon
D
Overcome with grief that evening
G
Now I'm crazy as a loon
C
And I'm up here in the north woods
G
Just staring at a lake
D
Wondering just exactly how much
G
They think a man can take
C
I eat fish to pass the time away
G
Under that blue Canadian moon
D
This town'll made me crazy
G
Crazy as a loon
D
Oh Lord, this world has made me crazy
G
Just as crazy as a loon
