Intro: G# C# G#m
G#m G
Crazy Murray owns a farm beside my summer home
B C#
And Murray is always lonely, though he never is alone
F A
He has a horse named King, and an old dog named King as well
E B
And seven pigs he hangs each spring but never seems to sell
And Crazy Murray had his mother living there with him
She invited us to tea and cookies, me and my friend Jim
The tea had brewed for 14 hours, the cookies they were moist
Her Swedish nurse came with her pills and had to raise her voice
Chorus:
G#m G B
And Crazy Murray is a lonely man
G#m G B
He'll marry a lovely lady if he can
C#m A
But Murray, he is kind of odd
C#m E
And people will stay away
C#m A G#m
But Murray will be happier some day...
Bb C#
Once we needed wood to build our treefort large and high
And so we asked old crazy Murray, this was his reply:
"If youse can help me fix my pig house, I can help you brother
Just come back not tomorrow, but the next day after another"
Chorus
G E
B D#m
When the beaver with the chainsaw brings your maples down
A D G# C# G#m
You know that Crazy Murray's been around
Crazy Murray passed away, he froze to death last June
Now Murray's on a holiday, his goal beyond the moon
He's travelled high and touched the sky and reached another plane
But Crazy Murray will come back to touch your minds again
Chorus
G#m G E B
