Em
Find me in the suburbs and the shadow of decay
Rolling rings of rubber and the band begins to play
am I on the right side of the left side of your brain
Can you see the rising of old yesterday's remains

 C          G              Em
Funkadelic said it best I think you know the rest
 C                   G                 Em
Time don't stand a chance against this motor madness

Chorus:
Bm
Don't you worry baby I'm like
A#             D
Detroit, I'm crazy
F#m              G
Don't you worry baby I'm like
Bm
Detroit, I'm crazy I'm like
A#             D
Detroit, I'm crazy
F#m              G
Don't you worry baby I'm like


The Stooges and J Dilla, yeah, they tore this town apart
Put me back together, well, I guess that's quite an art
Henry won the war you see but not with pen or sword
He did it with the little thing I think it's called a Ford

Funkadelic said it best I think you know the rest
Time don't stand a chance against this motor madness

Chorus

Everything's so hazy, I'm like
Detroit, I'm crazy, I'm like
Detroit, I'm crazy
Everything's so hazy
