I'm Going Crazy!



The Song


I'm Going Crazy!
Original song by: McKinley Rock Stars & Mr. Rojas
MP3: I'm Going Crazy (Mr. Rojas)

     E                     
1) I can't sleep at night with all of this noise
  A/E
I gotta get up and raise my voice
     B/E                    A
This ruckus has left me without a choice
          E      (A-E) 
I'm going crazy!


         E
2) Can't mute the noise with my headphones
     A/E
It's filled my room with screams and groans 
        B/E                   A
There's nothing to stop these painful tones
              E     (A-E)    
That drive me crazy!


(chorus)
          E
I'm goin' crazy, yes I am
      D
Goin' crazy, I'm in a jam
       A                                  E  (D-A) 
and my anger... is about to be a bursting dam! (2x)


      E
3)  I try to think of beautiful things
   A/E
Of faraway places and kings and queens
    B/E               A
But not even music on heavenly strings
              E     (A-E)
Stop me goin' crazy!


      E
4) My neighbors above, my neighbors below 
      A/E
Don't have a clue the problems they sow
    B/E            A/E
But soon my raging anger will show
               E      (A-E)
That I've gone crazy! 


(chorus)
          E
I'm goin' crazy, yes I am
      D
Goin' crazy, I'm in a jam
       A                                  E  (D-A) 
and my anger... is about to be a bursting dam! (2x)


(Instrumental) E D A E (D-A-E) (2x)


(bridge)
G      D                         E
 This anger rises without my commands
G              D                         F#* 
 It's being created from my neighbors' demands
G                D                       E
 Nothing will sooth my heart's aching stance
G               D                       E
 What it may lead to, it's beyond my plans


(chorus)
          E
I'm goin' crazy, yes I am
      D
Goin' crazy, I'm in a jam
       A                                  E  (D-A) - end E 
and my anger... is about to be a bursting dam! (2x)


* can also be played as “E” with a slight change in melody



Guitar Chords Used in Song

* Notice that the way we are doing the A & B chords of the verses is a variation on these chords. You take an E chord and the exact way you finger it and move it up to the 7th fret to make A/E and then move it up two more frets to the 9th fret to make it a B/E chord.

E Major Pentatonic Scale to Jam-Along with this Piece

The E major pentatonic scale works great for the verses, the chorus and specially the instrumental section. For the bridge, there must be some minor adjustments to the scale for it to work. 


Simpler (starts on 9th fret)
