CM7 Cm7 G6 Bm7-5 Em Cdim
When they met, the way they smiled, I saw that I was through;
Am7 D9 Am7 D7 G Gdim Am7 D9
Oh, you crazy moon, what did you do?
CM7 Cm7 G6 Bm7-5 Em Cdim
And when they kissed, they tried to say that it was just in fun;
Am7 D9 Am7 D7 G Am7 G Em
Oh, you crazy moon, look what you've done.
Bridge:
Am Am+7 A9 Dm7 Am Am+7 E7
Once you promised me, you know, that this could never end;
Am Am+7 Dm7 E7 A Am7 D7
You should be ashamed to show your funny face, my friend.
CM7 Cm7 G6 Bm7-5 Em Cdim
There they are -- they fell in love. I guess you think you're smart.
A9 Am7 D9 Am7 D7 G Am7 G
Oh, you crazy moon, you broke my heart.
Bridge 2:
D7 G Em Cdim
It was just a night like this when it happened;
D7 C Cm7 G
I was such an unsuspecting soul.
D7 G G/F# E E+7
And I couldn't quite believe that it happened
E7 A7 Am7 D7
Til it got beyond control.
CM7 Cm7 G6 Bm7-5 Em- Cdim
Well, there they are, they fell in love; I guess you think you're smart.
A9 Am7 D9 A9 Am7 Bm7-5
Oh, you crazy moon, oh, you crazy moon,
A9 Am7 D9 Am7 D7 G Edim C Cm7 G6
Oh, you crazy moon, you broke my heart.
*Sinatra's version may be the better known -- by a little -- but Tormé includes a second bridge melody that Sinatra's Nelson Riddle arrangement leaves out, and utilizes a straight-forward vocal line that gives the accompaniest more room to improvise upon.
