Back before I was a movCie star
Straight off of the faGrm
I had a picture of anoDther man's wife
Tattooed on my arGm
With a pack of Camel cCigarettes
In the sleeve of my tee sGhirt
I'm headin' out to HoDllywood
Just to have my feelings huGrt
That town will make you craCzy
Just give it a little tGime
You'll be walking 'round in circDles
Down at Hollywood and VGine
You'll be waitin' on a phoCne call
At the wrong end of a brGoom
Yes, that town'll make you cDrazy
Crazy as a loonG  
So, I headed down to NaCshville
To become a country stGar
Every night you'd find me haDngin'
At every honky-tonk and Cbar
Pretty soon I met a wComan
Pretty soon she done me wGrong
Pretty soon my life got saDdder
Than any country Gsong
That town will make you cCrazy
Just give it a little tGime
You'll be walking 'round in cDircles
Lookin' for that country Grhyme

At the wrong end of a bGroom
Yea, that town'll make you Dcrazy

Overcome with grief tDhat evening
Now I'm crazy as a Gloon
And I'm up here in the Cnorth woods
Just staring at a Glake
Wondering just exactly hoDw much
They think a man can tGake

Under that blue CanGadian moon
This town'll made me Dcrazy

** Capo on 2nd Fret **

INTRO

C G D G C G D G

Back before I was a movie star

Straight off of the farm

I had a picture of another man's wife

Tattooed on my arm

With a pack of Camel cigarettes

In the sleeve of my tee shirt

I'm headin' out to Hollywood

Just to have my feelings hurt

That town will make you crazy

Just give it a little time

You'll be walking 'round in circles

Down at Hollywood and Vine

You'll be waitin' on a phone call

At the wrong end of a broom

Yes, that town'll make you crazy

Crazy as a loon

So, I headed down to Nashville

To become a country star

Every night you'd find me hangin'

At every honky-tonk and bar

Pretty soon I met a woman

Pretty soon she done me wrong

Pretty soon my life got sadder

Than any country song

That town will make you crazy

Just give it a little time

You'll be walking 'round in circles

Lookin' for that country rhyme

You'll be waitin' on a phone call

At the wrong end of a broom

Yea, that town'll make you crazy

Crazy as a loon

Yes, that town'll make you crazy

Crazy as a loon

INSTRUMENTAL

C G D G C G D G

So, I gathered up my savvy

Bought myself a business suit

I headed up to New York City

Where a man can make some loot

I got hired Monday morning

Downsized that afternoon

Overcome with grief that evening

Now I'm crazy as a loon

And I'm up here in the north woods

Just staring at a lake

Wondering just exactly how much

They think a man can take

I eat fish to pass the time away

Under that blue Canadian moon

This town'll made me crazy

Crazy as a loon

Oh Lord, this world has made me crazy

Just as crazy as a loon
