Capo: 2nd fret
[Intro]
Am7 D Am7 D
Am7 D Am7 D
[Verse 1]
Am7
There’s a madman from Manhattan
D Am7 D
There with a man’s hat and a floor mat made of satin
Am7
But this cat was not like this or that
D Am7
But that which was aptly named for a man whose plan
D
Is a dime in a can downstairs for a dollar
Am7
If he can win the time with a dame
D C G F Am7
He ain’t ashamed to holler
[Verse 2]
Am7 D
Catch a train with the name of an alphabet letter
Am7 D
Had the brains to remain with the dame right up until he let her think
Am7
She was just on the brink of a breakthrough
D
Just on the brink of a breakthrough
Am7 D
But this dime in her can in the sink is enough to just make you think
Am7 D
That it all comes down to the trust that is covered in rust that you can’t rеmove
Am7 D
Sticking around on the grounds that you know that you can’t prove
C G F G D N.C. D
A thing to a judgе and a jury
[Interlude]
D7 Dm7
[Verse 3]
D Dm7 D
And then of course an angel comes to him and sings
D
She swims under whiskey with her wings
Dm D
And from the inside of a bottle with a shaft of light
D
She tells him with a song that it is not right
[Chorus]
D F
It’s not right, it’s not right
C D
It’s not right now, it’s wrong
D
But he does not listen to her for long
[Verse 4]
D
He says madmen aren’t born, they’re cultivated
D
Conned by the conmen in the world the marks created
Dm D
And then he cons himself
Dm D
He tricks himself into thinking that he is right
[Chorus]
F
It’s not right, it’s not right
C D
It’s not right now, it’s wrong
D
But then he forgets to put it in a song
[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
Am7
There’s a madman from Manhattan
D Am7 D
There with a man’s hat and a floor mat made of satin
Am7
But the cat was not like this or that
D Am7
But that which was aptly named for a man whose plan
D C G F G
Is a dime in a can downstairs for a dollar
[Verse 6]
Am7 D
Catch a train with the name of an alphabet letter
Am7 D
Had the brains to remain with the dame right up until he let her think
Am7
She was just on the brink of a breakthrough
D Am7
Just on the brink of a breakthrough
D
Just on the brink of a breakthrough
