[G13]This is the [F13]day of the 
ex[G/A]panding [F13]man
[G13]That shape is my [F13]shade 
there where I [G/A]used to s[D9]tand
[Fmaj7]It seems like [E7-9]only yester[Am7]day 
I gazed through the g[Bb13]lass
At [E7]ramblers, wild g[B7]amblers
That's [Bm7b5]all in the p[E7]ast[Bm7b5][E7#9]

[G13]You call me a [F13]fool you say i
t's a [G/A]crazy [F13]scheme
[G13]This one's for [F13]real I already 
[G/A]bought the [A7]dream
[Fmaj7]So useless to[E7-9]ask me why
[Am7]Throw a kiss and [Gm7]say goodbye[F#maj7][Fmaj7]
I'll make it thi[Em7#5]s time
[D9]I'm ready to [F/G]cross that fine line

[Am7]I'll Learn to work the [Em7]saxophone
[Dm7] I'll play [Cmaj7]just what I feel
[Bbmaj7]Drink scotch whiskey [Am]all 
night [Am/G]long[Am/F#][Fmaj7]
And[Em7#5]die[Fmaj9]behindthe [Am7]wheel
They got a name for the w[Em7]inners in the world
[Dm7]I want a [Cmaj7]name when I lose
They [Bbmaj7]call Alabama the 
[Am]crimson [Am/G]tide[Am/F#][Fmaj7]

[G13]My back to the [F13]wall a victim 
of [G/A]laughing [F13]chance
[G13]This is for [F13]me the essence 
of [G/A]true ro[D9]mance
[Fmaj7]Sharing the [E7-9]things we know and 
[Am7]love with those of my ki[Bb13]nd
Li[E7]bations, sen[B7]sations which 
[B7#9]stagger the [E7]mind[B7#9][E7]
[G13]I crawl like a [F13]viper through 
these su[G/A]burban [F13]streets
[G13]Make love to these [F13]women 
languid and [G/A]bitter[A7]sweet
[Fmaj7]I'll rise when the [E7-9]sun goes down
[Am7]Cover every [Gm7]game in tow[F#maj7]n[Fmaj7]
A world of my ow[Em7#5]n
[D9]I'll make it [F/G]my home sweet home

[Am7]I'll Learn to work the [Em7]saxophone
[Dm7] I'll play [Cmaj7]just what I feel
[Bbmaj7]Drink scotch whiskey [Am]all 
night [Am/G]long[Am/F#][Fmaj7]
And[Em7#5]die[Fmaj9]behindthe [Am7]wheel
They got a name for the w[Em7]inners in the world
[Dm7]I want a [Cmaj7]name when I lose
They [Bbmaj7]call Alabama the 
[Am]crimson [Am/G]tide[Am/F#][Fmaj7]

[G13]This is the [F13]night of 
the ex[G/A]panding [F13]man
[G13]I take one last d[F13]rag as 
I appr[G/A]oach the [A7]stand
[Fmaj7] I cried when I [E7-9]wrote this song
[Am7] Sue me if I [Gm7]play too long[F#maj7][Fmaj7]
This brother is [Em7#5]free
[D9] I'll be what I [F/G]want to be

[Am7]I'll Learn to work the [Em7]saxophone
