Dmaj7  Amaj7/Ab  Cmaj7  Gmaj7/Gb
Ebmaj7 E7#9

[Verse 1]
Gmaj13            Fmaj13       Am9   F13
      This is the day of the expanding man
Gmaj13                 Fmaj13              A13     D9
      That shape is my shade there where I used to stand
Fmaj7               Em7
      It seems like only yesterday
Amin7                       Bb13
      I gazed through the glass
   E7#9           B13
At ramblers, wild gamblers
       Bdim7      E7      Bdim7      E7
That's all in the past

[Pre-Chorus]
Gmaj13               Fmaj13                Am9   F13
       You call me a fool   You say it's a crazy scheme
Gmaj13                Fmaj13          A13        D9
       This one's for real  I already bought the dream
Fmaj7                Em7
       So useless to ask me why
Amin7                   Gm7          Gbm7
       Throw a kiss and say goodbye
Fmaj                     Em7
       I'll make it this time
D9                  G7sus
       I'm ready to cross that fine line

[Chorus]
Amin7                         Em7
       I'll learn to work the saxophone
Dmin7               CMaj7
       I'll play just what I feel
BbMaj7              Amin7     Gm7
Drink Scotch whisky all night long
Gbmaj7  Fmaj7        Em7   Fmaj7
                And die behind the wheel
Amin7                       Em7
    They got a name for the winners in the world
Dmaj7        Cmaj7
    I want a name when I lose
     Bbmaj7           Amin7   Gm7
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Gbmaj7  Fmaj7      Em7  Fmaj7
                Call me Deacon Blues
Amin7          Em7
     (Deacon Blues)
Dmaj7     Amaj7/Ab     Cmaj7     Gmaj7/Gb

Ebmaj7 E7#9

[Verse 2]
Gmaj13               Fmaj13           Am9    F13
      My back to the wall A victim of laughing chance
Gmaj13            Fmaj13            A13    D9
      This is for me The essence of true romance
Fmaj7             Em7
      Sharing the things we know and love
Amin7                   Bb13
      With those of my kind
  E7#9        B13
Libations, sensations
     Bdim7       E7       Bdim7      E7
That stagger the mind

Gmaj13               Fmaj13                 Am9 F13
      I crawl like a viper Through these suburban streets
Gmaj13                   Fmaj13            A13   D9
      Make love to these women Languid and bittersweet
Fmaj7                    Em7
      I'll rise when the sun goes down
Amin7               Gm7         Gbm7
      Cover every game in town
Fmaj7               Em7
      A world of my own
D9                    G7sus
      I'll make it my home sweet home

[Chorus]
Amin7                        Em7
      I'll learn to work the saxophone
Dmaj7             Cmaj7
      I'll play just what I feel
Bbmaj7              Amin7     Gm7
Drink Scotch whisky all night long
Gbmaj7  Fmaj7          Em7  Fmaj7
                 And die behind the wheel
Amin7                         Em7
      They got a name for the winners in the world
Dmaj7          Cmaj7
      I want a name when I lose
     Bbmaj7           Amin7   Gm7
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Gbmaj7  Fmaj7     Em7  Fmin7
                 Call me Deacon Blues
Amin7          Em7

[Verse 3]
Gmaj13            Fmaj13         Am9   F13
      This is the night Of the expanding man
Gmaj13                Fmaj13      A13        D9
      I take one last drag As I approach the stand
Fmaj7                Em7
      I cried when I wrote this song
Gm7                               Gbm7
      Sue me if I play too long
Fmaj7                 Em7
      This brother is free
D9                   G7sus
      I'll be what I want to be

[Chorus]
Amin7                        Em7
      I'll learn to work the saxophone
Dmaj7             Cmaj7
      I'll play just what I feel
Bbmaj7              Amin7     Gm7
Drink Scotch whisky all night long
