Album cover of And The I Wrote featuring best songs by Willie Nelson and the song Crazy

Crazy was written by Willie Nelson in about an hour and was recorded by Patsy Cline in 1961, where she scored a #2 hit. Willie recorded his version in 1962 on his debut album And Then I Wrote. 

Willie had a tough time getting musicians to record this song because it had more than the standard 3 chords and pitched the song to Patsy's husband in a bar. Willie stayed in the car while he played her the demo as it was after midnight but she eventually invited Willie into the house. Due to sore ribs from her car accident, the music was laid down first, and three weeks later Patsy returned to the studio and nailed the vocals one the first take.

This one is played with a root up down up and repeat rhythm pattern with some lead in standard tuning. The chords here are C, A7, Dm, D+F6, Dm7, G, G/D#, Gdim, G7, F, C7, Em, D7, F and an Fm.
