[Intro] Cmaj7 Gadd9/B Bbmaj7 Am7#5 Dmaj7 Dbm7#5 Cmaj7 Gadd9/B Ebmaj7 E7

[Verse 1] G6 F6 G/A F6   This is the day of the expanding man G6 F6 G/A D7   That shape is my shade, there where I used to stand Fmaj7 E7 Am7      It seems like only yesterday                          Bb13 I gazed through the glass    E7 B7 Bm7 E7 E7 At ramblers, wild gamblers, that's all in the past

[Pre-Chorus] G6 F6 G/A F6   You call me a fool, you say it's a crazy scheme G6 F6 G/A A7   This one's for real, I already bought the dream Fmaj7 E7 Am7 Gm7 C7      So useless to ask me why, throw a kiss and say goodbye Fmaj7 Em7#5 D7 Fmaj7      I'll make it this time, I'm ready to cross that fine line

[Chorus] Am7 Em7    Learn to work the saxophone Dm7 Cmaj7    I, I'll play just what I feel Bbmaj7 Am7 G6 Drink Scotch whisky all night long F#7b5 Fmaj7 Em7#5 Fmaj7 Am7            And die behind the wheel                         Em7 They got a name for the winners in the world Dm7 Cmaj7    I, I wanna name when I lose      Bbmaj7 Am7 G6 They call Alabama, the Crimson Tide F#7b5 Fmaj7 Em7#5 Fmaj7 Am7 Em7            Call me Deacon Blues Deacon Blues

[Interlude] Dmaj7 Dbm7#5 Cmaj7 Gadd9/B Ebmaj7 E7#9

[Verse 2] G6 F6 G/A F6   My back to the wall, a victim of laughing chance G6 F6 G/A D7   This is for me, the essence of true romance Fmaj7 E7 Am7 Bb13      Sharing the things we know and love with those of my kind   E7 B7 Bm7 E7 E7 Libations, sensations that stagger the mind

[Pre-Chorus] G6 F6 G/A F6   I crawl like a viper through these suburban streets G6 F6 G/A A7   Make love to these women languid and bittersweet Fmaj7 E7 Am7 Gm7 C7      I'll rise when the sun goes down, cover ev'ry game in town Fmaj7 Em7#5 D7 Fmaj7      A world of my own, I'll make it my home sweet home

[Chorus] Am7 Em7    Learn to work the saxophone Dm7 Cmaj7    I, I'll play just what I feel Bbmaj7 Am7 G6 Drink Scotch whisky all night long F#7b5 Fmaj7 Em7#5 Fmaj7 Am7            And die behind the wheel                         Em7 They got a name for the winners in the world Dm7 Cmaj7    I, I wanna name when I lose      Bbmaj7 Am7 G6 They call Alabama, the Crimson Tide F#7b5 Fmaj7 Em7#5 Fmaj7 Am7 Em7            Call me Deacon Blues Deacon Blues

[Verse 3] G6 F6 G/A F6   This is the night of the expanding man G6 F6 G/A A7   I take one last drag as I approach the stand Fmaj7 E7 Am7 Gm7 C7      I cried when I wrote this song, sue me if I play too long Fmaj7 Em7#5 D7 Fmaj7      This brother is free, I'll be what I want to be

[Chorus] Am7 Em7    Learn to work the saxophone Dm7 Cmaj7    I, I'll play just what I feel Bbmaj7 Am7 G6 Drink Scotch whisky all night long F#7b5 Fmaj7 Em7#5 Fmaj7 Am7            And die behind the wheel                         Em7 They got a name for the winners in the world Dm7 Cmaj7    I, I wanna name when I lose      Bbmaj7 Am7 G6 They call Alabama, the Crimson Tide
