          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
