Am               G6  
Took a big trip, With your old band  
C                 Cm7  
To your homeland, For the wrong man  

Am                G6  
Making big plans, For your own sake  
C                    Cm7   
Hope they don’t bend, Hope they don’t break  


Repeat chord pattern:   
(ba ba ba...)   

Took a tip from a rodeo show  
Get a grip or you’re gonna get thrown  
Take your aim when you take a shot  
For the man under you will take everything you got  

Take the pills that they give you mornings  
Spit them out when they aren’t looking  
Keep a smile but you burn it hot  
It’s a mad, mad, world  


Am  G  C  Cm7   
Na na na na na na (X4)  

Take the pills that they give you mornings  
Spit them out when they aren’t looking  
Fix a smile but you burn it hot  
It’s a mad, mad, world  




The chord change from C to Cm7  can always be dropped, and I like to substitute G   
for G6 during the Instrumental parts.
