(Cm - Bb11) Yeah, I can see it now, the red-neon shivered in the heat. I was feeling like a stranger, in a strange land, You know, where people play games with the night.
(Fm - Eb11) God, it was to hot to sleep,so I followed the sound of a juke-box, Comin' from up the levee.
(Cm - Bb11) All of the sudden I could hear the sound of some-one whistlin', From right behind me, I turn around and she said;
(Fm - Eb11) "Why do you always end up down at Nick's Cafe."
G I said; "Oh, I don't know, the wind just kinda pushed me this way."

Cm She said; "Hang the rich."
Fm Bb Eb G Fm Bb Catch the Blue Train, place it's never been before, look for me,
Eb Cm Eb Cm Somewhere down the crazy river, somewhere down the crazy river,
Fm Bb Eb G Fm Bb Oooh, catch the Blue Train, all the way to Kokomo, you can find me,
Eb Cm Eb Cm Somewhere down the crazy river, somewhere down the crazy river.
(Cm - Bb11) Take a picture of this; fields are empty, abandoned '59 Chevy, Layin' in the back seat, listening to "Little Willy John".
(Fm -Eb11) Yeah, that's when time stood still, you know,
G I think I'm gonna go down to Madame X...let her read my mind.
Cm She said; "That voodoo stuff, don't do nothin' for me."
Fm Bb Eb Cm I'm a man, with a, clear destination,
Fm Bb Eb Cm I'm a man, with a, broad imagination.
Fm Bb Eb Cm You fog the mind, you stir the soul.
G G7 I can't find, no control........whoa..oh, (Chorus-as above)
(Cm - Bb11) Wait, did you hear that? Aah, this is sure stirring up some ghosts for me. She said; "There's one thing you gotta learn...is not to be afraid of it."
(Fm - Eb11) I said; "No, I like it, it's good."
G She said; "You like it now, but you'll learn to love it later."
(Cm - Bb11) I've been spellbound, falling in trances,
