Somewhere Down The Crazy River Robbie Robertson

Capo 3rd fret for the original song.

(Am) (hold) (Am7) (Am6)(Am) (Am7) (Am6)(Am)
(Am7)Yeah, I can see it now, (Am6) the distant red neon shivered in the (Am7)heat.
I was feeling like a stranger (Am6)in a strange land, (Dm7)
You know, where people play games with the (Dm6)night.
God, it was (Dm7)too hot to sleep. (Dm6)

I followed the sound of a jukebox (Am7)coming from up the levee. (Am6)
All of a sudden, I could hear somebody whistling from (Am7)right behind me.
I turned around, and she (Am6)said,
"Why do you (Dm7)always end up down at Nick's Cafe?" (Dm6)
I said, "Er, (Dm7)I don't know, the wind just kinda (E7) pushed me this way."
(Am7) She said, "Hang the rich." (Am6)

(Dm7) Catch the (G)blue train, (C) places (E7)never been be(F)fore,
(G)Look for me (C)somewhere down the (Am)crazy river,
(C)Somewhere down the (Am)crazy river.
Ooh, (Dm7) catch the (G)blue train, (C) all the (E7)way to Koko(F)mo,
(G)You can find me (C)somewhere down the (Am)crazy river,
(C)Somewhere down the (Am)crazy river. (Am7) (hold)

(Am7) Take a picture of this: (Am6) The fields are empty, an abandoned '5(Am7)9 Chevy,
(Am6) Laying in the back seat listening to Little Willie (Dm7)John.
Yeah, that's when (Dm6)time stood still.
You (Dm7)know, I think I'm gonna go down to Madam X and (E7)let her read my mind.
(Am7) She said, "That voodoo stuff don't do (Am6)nothing for me."

(Bbj7) I'm a man with a (C) clear desti(F)nation,
(Bbj7) I'm a man with a (C) broad imagi(Dm)nation
(Bb6) You fog the mind, (C) you stir the (F)soul
(E) I can't find (E7) no con(E+7)tro-o-(Am)ol.

(Dm7) Catch the (G)blue train, (C) places (E7)never been be(F)fore,
(G)Look for me (C)somewhere down the (Am)crazy river,
(C)Somewhere down the (Am)crazy river.
Ooh, (Dm7) catch the (G)blue train, (C) all the (E7)way to Koko(F)mo,
(G)You can find me (C)somewhere down the (Am)crazy river,
(C)Somewhere down the (Am)crazy river. (Am7)(hold)

Wait, did you hear that? (Am7) Oh, this is sure stirring up some ghosts for (Am6)me.
She (Am7)said, "There's one thing you gotta learn (Am6) is not to be afraid of it."
(Dm7) I said, "No, I like it, I (Dm6)like it, it's good."
She said, "You (Dm7)like it now, but you'll learn to love it later."(E7)

(Am7) I been spellbound, (Am6) falling in trances,
(Am7) I been spellbound, (Am6) falling in trances.
(Am7) You give me the shivers, (Am6) chills and fever.
(Am7) You give me the shivers, (Am6) huh huh huh huh.
(Am7) You give me the shivers, (Am6) I been spellbound.
(Am7) I been spellbound, (Am6) somewhere down the crazy river,
(Am7) Somewhere down the crazy river. (Am6) (Am7)…
