Intro

[A] [G] [A] [G]

Verse 1

[B]My Prussian-blue [E]electric [G#7]clock's
[B]Alarm bell [E]rings, it will [G#7]not [C#m]stop
And [F#m]I can see [E]no end [A]in sight
And [E]search in vain [F#m]by candlelight
For [Bm7]some long road [E]that goes nowhere
For [Fdim]some signpost [F#m7]that is not there
And [A]even my [G]befuddled brain
[A]Is shining brightly, quite [G]insane

Verse 2

[B]The chandelier [E]is in full [G#7]swing [C#m]
[B]As gifts for me [E]the three kings [G#7]bring [C#m]
Of [F#m]myrrh and frankincense, [E]I'm [A]told
And [E]fat old Buddhas [F#m]carved in gold
And [Bm]though it seems they [E]smile with glee
[Fdim]I know in [C#dim]truth they envy [F#m]me
And [A]watch as my [G]befuddled brain
[A]Shines on brightly quite [G]insane

Verse 3

[B]Above all else, [E]confusion [G#7]reigns [C#m]
[B]And though I ask, [E]no one [G#7]explains [C#m]
My [F#m]eunuch friend has [E]been and [A]gone
He [E]said that I [F#m]must soldier on
And [Bm7]though the ferris [E7]wheel spins 'round
My [Fdim]tongue it seems [F#m]has run the ground
And [A]croaks as my [G]befuddled brain
[A]Shines on brightly, quite [G]insane
