G C G Crazy John, where you gonna run to today? C G Crazy John, so early to be up and away. Am7 Em They never can hear you, John, so how can you teach them? Am7 D7 They never come near you, John, so how can you reach them?
Crazy John, can I come along when you go?
Crazy John, you tell them what they don't want to know.
They never can hear you, John, they have no desire.
They're beginning to fear you, John, and the hate's getting higher.
D# G When you wade in the water, the people can't see the old reflections. D# G When you stand in the road, the people can't read the old directions. A7 (or Am) D7 When the people get lost, they start building a cross.
Crazy John, why you wanna go back again?
Crazy John, talking with the desperate men.
You have to be crazy, John, for taking those chances,
When you could be lazy, John, just playing for dances.
When you wade in the water, the people can't see the old reflections.
When you stand in the road, the people can't read the old directions.
When the people get lost, they start building a cross.
G C D7 G Crazy John, I want to be crazy too.
(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1969)
