Madman Across the Water

I can (Am)see

(G)very (F)well.

There's a (C)boat on the reef with a (D)broken back,

and I can (F)see it (G)very (Am)well.

(D)There's a (Am)joke

and I (G)know it very (F)well.

It's one of those that I told you (D)long ago.

Take my (F)word, I'm a (G)madman,

don't (Am)you know?

(D)Once a (Am)fool

had a (G)good part in the (F)play.

If it's so, would I still be (D)here today?

It's quite (F)peculiar in a (G)funny sort of (Am)way.

They think it's (F)very funny (G)ev'rything I (Am)say.

(C)Get a load of (G)him, he's so (Esus)insane.

(E)You better get your (Am)coat,

(Cmaj7)dear, (Dm)it (F)looks (G)like (A)rain.

(C)We'll come (Dm)again next Thursday afternoon.

(C)The inlaws (Dm)hope they'll see you very soon.

(F)But is it in your conscience that you're after

(Am)another glimpse of the (Cmaj7)madman (Dm)across (F6)the (G)(Am)water?

(Am)you know?

The (F)ground's a long way (G)down,

but I need more.

(C)Is the nightmare black or are the windows painted?

(E)Will they come (Am)again (Cmaj7)next (Dm)week?

Can my (F)mind (G)really take it?

(C)We'll come (Dm7)again next Thursday afternoon.

(C)The inlaws (Dm)hope they'll see you very soon.

(Dm)But is it in your conscience

that you're after

(Am)another glimpse of the (Cmaj7)madman (Dm)across (F6)the (G)(Am)water?
