The Mad Hatter

Well, (Em)hello there, it's me with how it's gonna be.

(C7)Settle down and listen up good.

The old (Em)Hatter is gone but the hat must go on,

worn (C7)by me.

Is that understood?

So shut (Am7)up and toe the line (B7)while I redefine (Em)how this all will be (C7)mine.

I have a (Am7)dream

that's got a full head of (B7sus4)steam.

(B7)What is (Em)true, what is not,

can both change in a shot,

and, people, (C7)me, I couldn't care less

'cause in (Em)two seconds flat, livin' under my hat is the (C7)strategy for success.

(B7)I will (Am7)look the other way (B7)when you wanna play (Em)something more than (C7)croquet.

You catch my (Am7)drift?

My little personal (B7sus4)gift.

(B7)I'm the (Em)Mad

Hatter. Come (C7)and follow me;

this is it.

(B7)The (Em)Mad Hatter.

All (C7)you gotta do is (B7)submit.

And if you (Am)don't, my friend,

well then, (B)in the end, there'll be (Em)nothing left to (C7)defend.

Know what I mean?

(Am)When you are facin' the (Em(maj9))queen.

(B7)(Em)Uppercased, double spaced, ev'ryone gets a taste and a (C7)brandnew leather hat(Give me the hat!)

But to (Em)participate, let me reiterate,

you must (C7)first put me in (B7)command.

I'm the (Am7)wonder, (B)understand.

Under (Em)Wonderland, put the reigns in my hands.

(C7)I'll do the (Am7)rest

as soon as you've (Bsus4)acquiesced.

(B)I'm the (Em)Mad (Mad Hatter,

Mad ter, Hatter.)

of (C7)ferin' a little bit more.

(B7)(So crazy.

The (Em)Mad Mad Hatter, Mad ter,

Hatter.) (C7)givin' you what you're lookin' (B)for.

I am your (Am)bestworst case for the (B)choice you face.

I'm the (Em)fastest rat in the race.

(C7)It's me or the (Am)queen
