[Cm(ma7)]===========
x 1 1 1 1 1 ---3rd fret
[Fm(ma7)]===========
[Cm]Yeah, I can see it now
[Cm(ma7)]The distant red neon shivered in the heat[Cm]
I was feeling like a stranger in a strange [Cm(ma7)]land[Fm]
You know where people play games with the night
[Fm(ma7)]
[Fm]God, it was too hot to sleep[Fm(ma7)]
I followed the sound of a jukebox coming from up the levee[Cm]
All of a sudden I could [Cm(ma7)]hear somebody whistling
[Cm]From right behind me
I turned around and [Cm(ma7)]she said
[Fm]
"Why do[Fm(ma7)] you always end up down at Nick's Cafe?"
I said "I don't know, the wind [Fm]just kind of pushed me this way."
[G7]
She said "Hang [Cm]the rich."[Cm(ma7)]
[Fm]Catch the blue[Bb] train
To [Eb]places never [G7]been before[Ab]
[Bb]Look for me
[Eb]Somewhere down the crazy river[Cm]
[Eb]Somewhere down the crazy river[Cm]
[Fm]Catch the blue [Bb]train
[Eb]All the [G7]way to Kokomo[Ab]
[Bb]You can find me
[Eb]Somewhere down the crazy river[Cm]
[Eb]Somewhere down the crazy river[Cm]
[Cm]Take a picture of this
[Cm(ma7)]The fields are empty, abandoned '59 [Cm]Chevy[Cm(ma7)]
Laying in the back seat listening to Little Willie John[Fm]
[Fm(ma7)]Yea, that's when time stood still
[Fm]
[G7]You know, I think I'm gonna go down to Madam X
And let her read my mind[Cm]
She said "That Voodoo stuff don't do nothing for me."[Cm(ma7)]
[Db]I'm a man with a clear [Eb]destination[Ab]
[Db]I'm a man with a broad [Eb]imagination[Fm]
[Db]You fog the mind, you stir[Eb] the soul[G7][Ab]
I can't find, ... no control[Cm]
[Fm]Catch the blue [Bb]train
To [Eb]places never [G7]been before[Ab]
[Bb]Look for me
[Eb]Somewhere down the crazy river[Cm]
[Eb]Somewhere down the crazy river[Cm]
[Fm]Catch the blue [Bb]train
[Eb]All the [G7]way to Kokomo[Ab]
[Bb]You can find me
[Eb]Somewhere down the crazy river[Cm]
[Eb]Somewhere down the crazy river[Cm]
[Cm]Wait, did you hear that
[Cm]
[Cm(ma7)]Oh this is sure stirring up some ghosts for me
She [Cm]said "There's one thing you've got to learn
Is not to be afraid of[Cm(ma7)] it."
I said "No, I[Fm] like it, I like it, it's good."[Fm(ma7)]
She said "You like it now[Fm]
But you'll learn to [G7]love it later."
[Cm]I been spellbound - falling in[Cm(ma7)] trances
[Cm]I been spellbound - falling in[Cm(ma7)] trances
[Cm]You give me shivers - chills [Cm(ma7)]and fever
[Cm]I been spellbound - somewhere [Cm(ma7)]down the crazy river
