INTRO
DOmaj7 SOLsus2/SI SIbmaj7 FAsus2/LA REmaj7 LAsus2/DO# DOmaj7 SOLsus2/SI
MIbmaj7 MI7#9
VERSE 1:
SOL13 FA13 SOL/LA FA13
This is the day of the expanding man
SOL13 FA13 SOL/LA RE9
That shape is my shade there where I used to stand
FAmaj7 MI7-9 LAm7 SIb13
It seems like only yesterday I gazed through the glass
MI7 SI7
At ramblers, wild gamblers
SI7#9 MI7 SI7#9 MI7
That's all in the past
SOL13 FA13 SOL/LA FA13
You call me a fool you say it's a crazy scene
SOL13 FA13 SOL/LA LA7
This one's for real I already bought the dream
FAmaj7 MI7-9
So useless to ask me why
LAm7 SOLm7 FA#maj7 FAmaj7
Throw a kiss and say goodbye
DOsus2/MI
I'll make it this time
RE9 FA/SOL
I'm ready to cross that fine line
CHORUS
LAm7 MIm7
I'll Learn to work the saxophone
REm7 DOmaj7
I play just what I feel
SIbmaj7 LAm LAm/SOL LAm/FA# FAmaj7
Drink scotch whiskey all night long
Csus2/E Fmaj7(Viii) Am7
And die behind the wheel
MIm7
They got a name for the winners in the world
REm7 DOmaj7
I want a name when I lose
SIbmaj7 LAm LAm/SOL LAm/FA# FAmaj7
They call Alabama the crimson tide
Csus2/E Fmaj7(Viii) Am7 Em7
Call me Deacon Blues (Deacon Blues)
REmaj7 LAsus2/DO# DOmaj7 SOLsus2/SI MIbmaj7 MI7#9
VERSE 2 : (Chords as VERSE 1)
My back to the wall a victim of laughing chance
This is for me the essence of true romance
Sharing the things we know and love with those of my kind
Libations, sensations which stagger the mind
I crawl like a viper through these suburban streets
Make love to these women languid and bittersweet
I'll rise when the sun goes down
Cover every game in town
A world of my own
I'll make it my home sweet home
CHORUS
As before except for the last line of chords. Play these instead :
REmaj7 LAsus2/DO# DOmaj7 SOLsus2/SI SIb13 SOLsus2/SI
Then it goes into .....
INSTRUMENTAL:
DOmaj7 MIm7 LA13 RE7#5#9 SOL13 SI7#9 MIm7 LA13
FAmaj7 FA#7#9 SOLmaj7 SI7#9
Repeat these two lines once
Then play the INTRO chords to lead into the last verse...
Verse 3:
SOL13 FA13 SOL/LA FA13
This is the night of the expanding man
SOL13 FA13 SOL/LA LA7
I take one last drag as I approach the stand
FAmaj7 MI7-9
I cried when I wrote this song
LAm7 SOLm7 FA#maj7 FAmaj7
Sue me if I play too long
DOsus2/MI
This brother is free
RE9 FA/SOL
I'll be what I want to be
CHORUS
OUTTRO:
Same as first half of 1st Verse - except play D9-5 instead of D9
Keep repeating this half verse to fade
Chord Shapes
As before, A=10, B=11 to make the shapes simpler to type out
