[RIFF]

Am G - A - D - E - D

[VERSE]
        Am            F
I can see very well
                C                                   D
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
                 F        G   Am
And I can see it very well

[VERSE]
                Am                                 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
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know

[VERSE]
            Am                                         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
They think it's very funny everything I say
C                     G                     E
Get a load of him he's so insane
                                C      Am Dm  F    G     A
You better get your coat dear it looks like rain

[CHORUS]
C                   D             F              G    Am
We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
C                  D                  F           G    Am
The in-laws hope they'll see you very soon
F                                                           E
But is it in your conscious that you're after
Am                                   C          Dm      F    G   Am
Another glimpse of the madman across the water

[SOLO]

[VERSE]
         Am            F
I can see very well
                C                                    D
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
                  F      G    Am
And I can see it very well

[VERSE]

It's one of those that I told you long ago
               F                 G                         Am
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know
             F                          G             Am
The ground's a long way down but I need more
C                         G                                       E 
Is the nightmare black or are the windows painted
                         Am    C    Dm                  F      G        A
Will they come again next week can my mind really take it

[CHORUS]
C                  D              F             G     Am
We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
C                   D                   F        G    Am
The in-laws hope they'll see you very soon

But is it in your conscious that you're after
Am                                 C            Dm     F    G  Am
Another glimpse of the madman across the water
