[Verse]
Am    Am  G      F   
I can see ■ very well
C                          D                 
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
          G           Am  
And I can see it very well
Am7 G Dsus4 Am7
■   ■ ■     ■  
Dsus4   Am7 Am         G       F        
There's a   joke and I know it very well
            C                 D           
It's one of those that I told you long ago
F                  G      Am             G
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know ■
Am Dsus4 Em7  Am7 Am              G           F   
■  ■     Once a   fool had a good part in the play
        C                D            
If it's so would I still be here today
F                        G     Am         
It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
F                          G          Am    G
They think it's very funny everything I say ■


[Chorus]
C       G                E        
■ Get a load of him he's so insane
             Am            C    Dm
You'd better get your coat dear ■ 
         G    Am   C
It looks like rain ■
                 Dm   F        Dm Am       
We'll come again next Thursday ■  afternoon
C                 F                    Dm   A7
■ The inlaws hope they'll see you very soon ■ 
F                                          E7   
■ But is it in your conscience that you're after
Am                     C      Dm     F G   Am   
Another glimpse of the madman across ■ the water

F                   G        Am             
The ground's a long way down but I need more


[Chorus]
C                  G                        Esus4  
■ Is the nightmare black or are the windows painted
E                Am    C    Dm  
■ Will they come again next week
                   Am     
Can my mind really take it
      C      Dm                  G         A7
We'll ■ come again next Thursday afternoon ■
