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

There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word, I'm a madman, don't you know

Once a fool had a good part in the play
If it's so would I still be here today?
It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way

They think it's very funny everything I say
Get a load of him, he's so insane
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 inlaws hope they'll see you very soon
F                                        E7     E7 
But is it in your conscience that you're after -
Am                     C       D     F  G Am G
Another glimpse of a madman across the water?

I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well

There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word, I'm a madman, don't you know

The ground's a long way down but I need more
Is the nightmare black or are the windows painted?
Will they come again next week, can my mind really take it?

Chorus:
We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon
But is it in your conscience that you're after
Another glimpse of the Madman across the Water
