Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I can see [Am]it
now
The distant red neon shivered in the heat
I was feeling like a stranger in
a strange [Dm]land
You know, where people play
games with [Am]the n[Dm]ight

[Verse 2]
God, it was too hot to sleep
[Dm][G][Dm]
[G]I follow[Dm]ed the[E] sound of [Am]a jukebox
coming from up the levee
All of a sudden, I could hear somebody
whistling from right behind me
I turned around, and she said
"Why do [Dm]you always end up
down at Nick's Cafe?"
I said, "Uh, I don't know,
the wind just [E]kinda pushed me this [Am]way"

[Verse 3]
She said, "Hang the rich"
[Dm]
Catch the [G]blue [C]train
Places [E]never been be[Dm]fore
[F]Loo[G]k for me
[C]Somewhere down the [Am]crazy
[C]river
(Somewhere down [Am]the crazy river)
[Dm]Ooh, catch [G]the blue [C]train
All the [E]way to Koko[F]mo
[G]You can find me
Some[C]where down the [Am]crazy
river
[C](Somewhere down the
[Am]crazy [C]riv[Am]er)

[Verse 4]
Take a picture [Am]of this
The fields are empty,
abandoned '59 Chevy
Laying in the back seat listening
to Little [Dm]Willie John
Yeah, that's when time
stood [G]still[Dm]
You know, I think I'm gonna
go down to Madam X
[E]And let her read my [Am]mind
She said, "That voodoo stuff don't

[Verse 5]
do nothing for me"
[Bb]
I'm a man with [C]a clear
destina[F]tion[Bb]
I'm a man with [C]a broad imaginat[Dm]ion[Bb]
You fog the [C]mind, you stir [F]the soul[E]

[Interlude 1]
I can't find no control
[Am][E][Am]
[G][Dm]

[Verse 6]
Catch [G]the blue [C]train
Places [E]never been before
[F]Loo[G]k for me
[C]Somewhere down the [Am]crazy
[C]river
(Somewhere down the [Am]crazy river)
[Dm]Ooh, catch [G]the blue [C]train
All the [E]way to Koko[F]mo
[G]You can find me
Some[C]where down the [Am]crazy
[C]river
(Somewhere down the [Am]crazy river)

[Verse 7]
[Am]Wait, did you hear that?
Oh, this is sure stirring up
some ghosts [D]for [Am]me
She said, "There's one
thing you gotta learn
Is not [D]to be [Am]afraid [D]of [Am]it"[Dm]
I said, "No, I like it, I like it, it's good"
She said, "You like it now
But you'll learn [Am]to love it la[E]ter"

[Verse 8]
[Am]
I been spellbound
Falling [D]in [Am]trances
I been spellbound
Falling in trances
You give me the shivers
Chills and fever
You give me the [D]shivers[Am]
You give me the shivers
I been spellbound
I been spellbound
I been spellbound
(Somewhere down the
crazy river)

[Outro 1]
Somewhere down the crazy river
[Am][Am][Am]
