YOU'RE MAD
C
You're mad, you're mad as can be
F e- d-
you're madder than anybody else
C
you're kooko, you ain't got a clue you
F e- d-
don't know what it is that you're gonna do
C F C F
your mad, mad as can be
C F C F
madder than anyone else will ever be
F C
I've seen you standing in your quiet reserve
F C
your voice so soft that it's barely heard
F C
and then I've heard you screaming at the top of your voice
F F
making everybody listen
F C
I've watched you walking in a silent night
F C
of a troubled world and a tortured mind
F C
and I've caught at your mumbles and your jumbled words
F G
and I still could not understand
C
You're mad, you're mad as can be
F e- d-
you're madder than anybody else
C
you're kooko, you ain't got a clue you
F e- d-
don't know what it is that you're gonna do
C F C F
your mad, mad as can be
C F C F
madder than anyone else will ever be
F C
I've listened to you as you've preached restraint
F C
and argued the cause of passive fate
F C
and you've said that we never should get upset
F F
or ever be so angry
F C
Then I've heard you roaring like a wounded lion
F C
your self restraint and your pride abandoned
F C
fists clenched as you rise in violence
F G
your passion is absurd
C
You're mad, you're mad as can be
F e- d-
you're madder than anybody else
C
you're kooko, you ain't got a clue you
F e- d-
don't know what it is that you're gonna do
C F C F
your mad, mad as can be
C F C F
madder than anyone else will ever be
