Madman Across The Water

Am    Dsus4    D
Am    Dsus4    D

      Am G      F
I can see very well
           C/E                    D7/F#
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
          F      G    Am    Dsus4 D   Am   Dsus4 D
And I can see it very well
          Am         G            F
There's a joke and I know it very well
            C/E                   D7/F#
It's one of those that I told you long ago
        F          G                Am      Dsus4  D  Am  Dsus4  D
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know

       Am         G                F
Once a fool had a good part in the play
        C/E                 D7/F
If it's so would I still be here today
              F          G             Am
It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
                F          G            Am    D
They think it's very funny everything I say
C             G/B            E7
Get a load of him, he's so insane
                    Am   C     Dm
You better get your coat dear
   F     G    A5
It looks like rain

C           D          F        G     Am
We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
C           D            F       G      Am7
The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon
F                                        E7
But is it in your conscience that you're after
Am                     C      Dm     F   G  Am
Another glimpse of the madman across the water

I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know

    F                   G                Am    G/B
The ground's a long way down but I need more
C                G/B                       E7
Is the nightmare black or are the windows painted
                Am    C   Dm           F     G       Am
Will they come again next week can my mind really take it
