[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am][G]
[Am][G][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
I can [Am]see [G]very wel[F]l
There's a [C]boat on the reef
with a [D]broken back
And I can [F]see it [G]very [Am]well[G]
[Am][G]

[Verse 2]
There's a [Am]joke
and I [G]know it very [F]well
It's one of [C]those
that I told [D]you long ago
Take my [F]word
I'm a [G]madman don't [Am]you k[G]now
[Am][G]

[Verse 3]
Once a [Am]fool had a [G]good part
in the [F]play
If it's [C]so
would I still be [D]here today
It's quite [F]peculiar
in a [G]funny [Am]sort of of way
They think it's [F]very funny
[G]everything [Am]I say[G]

[Chorus 1]
[C]Get a load of him[G],
he's so [E]insane
You better get your [Am]coat [C]dear
[Dm]It looks[F] like [G]rain[A]
[C]We'll come aga[Dm]in next Thu[F]rsday aft[G]ernoo[Am]n
[C]The In-laws hop[Dm]e they'll see[F] you ver[G]y soo[Am]n
[F]But is it in your conscience
that you're [E]after
[Am]Another glimpse
of the [C]madman [Dm]across the [G]water

I'm a [G]madman don't [Am]you know
The [F]ground's a long way [G]down
but [Am]I need mor[G]e

[Chorus 2]
[C]Is the nightmare bla[G]ck
Or are the windows [E]painted
Will they come [Am]again [C]next [Dm]week
Can my [F]mind [G]really [A]take it?
[C]We'll come aga[Dm]in next Thu[F]rsday aft[G]ernoo[Am]n
