[Intro]
Em C G x2
 
[Verse 1]
         Em                  C       G
Walked a crooked road for a crooked mile
          Em                     C       G
Showed my crooked teeth and my crooked smile
         Em                 C       G
I read a cuckoo clock on a crooked wall
Em                 D        G
Turns out it's all crooked, y'all
 
[Refrain]
      Am         Em       D           G
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Em                 D       G
Turns out that I'm crooked too
 
[Instrumental]
|Em |C |G
 
[Verse 2]
         Em                    C       G
I read a crooked headline on a crooked page
          Em                  C       G
There's a crooked leader on a crooked stage
        Em                 C        G
But he seems to think he's standin' tall
Em                 D        G
Turns out it's all crooked, y'all
 
[Refrain]
      Am         Em       D           G
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Em                 D       G
Turns out that I'm crooked too
 
[Instrumental]
|Am |G |D |Am |G |F |D
|Em |C |G x2
 
[Verse 3]
 
(soft)
            Em                C       G
So when you stand before that setting sun
        Em                      C        G
And the needle's broken and the record's spun
              Em              C      G
You'll hear a stampede from a cattle call
Em                 D        G
Turns out it's all crooked, y'all
       Em                 D        G
Oh, it turns out it's all crooked, y'all

Fantastic job. Love this song. Thanks so much for this addition. The work is even more appreciated given that I wouldn’t stand a chance of doing it myself. Thanks so much for the work.
