[Intro]D A E AD A E A
[Strophe]A DBack before I was a movie starAStraight off of the farmEI had a picture of another man's wifeATattooed on my armDWith a pack of Camel cigarettesAIn the sleeve of my tee shirtEI'm headin' out to HollywoodAJust to have my feelings hurt[Refrain]A DThat town will make you crazyAJust give it a little timeEYou'll be walking 'round in circlesADown at Hollywood and VineDYou'll be waitin' on a phone callAAt the wrong end of a broomEYes, that town'll make you crazyACrazy as a loon[Strophe]A DSo, I headed down to NashvilleATo become a country starEEvery night you'd find me hangin'AAt every honky-tonk and barDPretty soon I met a womanAPretty soon she done me wrongEPretty soon my life got sadderAThan any country song[Refrain]A DThat town will make you crazyAJust give it a little timeEYou'll be walking 'round in circlesALookin' for that Country RhymeDYou'll be waitin' on a phone callAAt the wrong end of a broomEYes, that town'll make you crazyACrazy as a loon[Instrumentale]D A E AD A E A
[Refrain]A DSo, I gathered up my savvyABought myself a business suitEI headed up to New York CityAWhere a man can make some lootDI got hired Monday morningADownsized that afternoonEOvercome with grief that eveningANow I'm crazy as a loon[Refrain]DSo I'm up here in the north woodsAJust staring at a lakeEWondering just exactly how muchAThey think a man can takeDI eat fish to pass the time awayA'Neath this blue Canadian moonEThis old world has made me crazyACrazy as a loonELord, this world will make you crazyACrazy as a loon[Outro]D A E AD A E A
