Intro
G - Eb  x2

G     Bb         Eb
My baby is a basket case
    G         Bb          F
A bipolar mama in leather and lace
Bb                                       C
Face like an angel--she's a perfect waste
Eb                F           G
My baby is a basket case


G - Eb  x2


G               Bb                Eb
Dracula's daughter, Calamity Jane
G                     Bb       F
Smoke on the water, water on the brain
         Bb                                    C
She's pretty as a picture--and totally crazed
Eb                  F          G
My baby is a basket case


F                                                     G
She's gonna make a madman outta me
F                                                     G
She's gonna make a madman outta me


G - Eb  x2


She's manic-depressive and schizoid, too
The friskiest psycho that I ever knew
We're paranoid lovers lost in space
My baby is a basket case

My baby's gonna celebrate
I'm being dragged through the nuthouse gates
Got my straitjacket on and I'm taking her place
My baby is a basket case

She finally made a madman outta me
She finally made a madman outta me
My baby made a madman outta me
She finally made a madman outta me
