Back before I was a [C]movie star
Straight off of the [G]farm
I had a picture of [D]another man's wife
Tattooned on my [G]arm
With a pack of Camel [C]cigarettes
In the sleeve of my tee [G]shirt
I headin' out to [D]Hollywood
Just to have my feelings [G]hurt
[G]That town will make you [C]crazy
Just give it a little [G]time
You'll be walking 'round in [D]circles
Down at Hollywood and [G]Vine
You'll be waitin' on a [C]phone call
At the wrong end of a [G]broom
Yes, that town'll make you [D]crazy
Crazy as a [G]loon
[G]So, I headed down to [C]Nashville
To become a country [G]star
Every night you'd find me [D]hangin'
At every honky-tonk and [G]bar
Pretty soon I met a [C]woman
Pretty soon she done me [G]wrong
Pretty soon my life got [D]sadder
Than any country [G]song
[G]That town will make you [C]crazy
Just give it a little [G]time
You'll be walking 'round in [D]circles
Lookin' for that country [G]rhyme
You'll be waitin' on a [C]phone call
At the wrong end of a [G]broom
Yeah, that town'll make you [D]crazy
Crazy as a [G]loon

[G] [C] [G] [D] [G]
[G] [C] [G] [D] [G]
[G]So, I gathered up my [C]savvy
Bought myself a business [G]suit
I headed up to New York [D]City
Where a man can make some [G]loot
I got hired Monday [C]morning
Downsized that [G]afternoon
Overcome with grief that [D]evening
Now I'm crazy as a [G]loon
[G]So I'm up here in the [C]north woods
Just staring at a [G]lake
Wondering just exactly how [D]much
They think a man can [G]take
I eat fish to pass the [C]time away
'Neath this blue Canadian [G]moon
This old world has made me [D]crazy
Crazy as a [G]loon
Lord, this world will make you [D]crazy
Crazy as a [G]loon
