JAZZMAN:Carole King.
#2 in '74.(This is the same song Lisa
plays on her sax with 'Bleeding Gums"
Murphy on an episode of the Simpsons.)

INTRO:
Gm       Am7       Bb      Ebm7          Gm
Lift me, won't you lift me above the old routine,
Abm7          Ab            F          Bb C Bb C
Make it nice, play it clean Jazz...man.

#1.
C        Bb        Am7          Bb              Fm9
When the Jazzman's testifyin' a faithless man believes.
Fm9    Bb            Am7         Bb                G
he can sing you into paradise or bring you to your knees.
C      Bb                 Am7    Bb               Fm9
It's a gospel kind of feelin', a touch of Georgia slide,
Fm9       Bb     Am7         Bb           Am7     Dm Bb
a song of pure revival and a style that's sanctified.

CHORUS:
Bb    C     F       Fm                  Bb
Jazz..man...take my blues away, make my pain the same
   C           Bb               Fm7
as yours, with every change you play.
Ab            F 
Jazzman...oh, Jazzman.

#2.
C        Bb        Am7                 Bb
When the Jazzman's signifyin', and the band is 
        Fm9
windin' low.
Fm9      Bb                 Am7                Bb
It's the late night side of morning in the darkness 
       G  
of his soul.
G      Bb                  Am7        Bb       
He can fill a room with sadness as he fills his horn 
     Fm9
with tears.
Fm9    Bb                  Am7         Bb      Am7 Dm
He can cry like a fallen angel when risin' time is near.


CHORUS:
Bb  C   F       Fm                  Bb
Jazzman take my blues away, make my pain
            C           Bb               Fm7
the same as yours, with every change you play.
Ab             F
Jazz..man, Oh, Jazz..man.

ADD:
Fm7 Gm             Am7 Bb      F    Ebm7       Gm
Oh, lift me, won't you lift me with every turn around.
Abm7             Ab                F        Bb C F
Play it sweetly, take me down, Oh, Jazz..man.


OUTRO:

Fm7 Gm             Am7 Bb       F    Ebm7           Gm
Oh, lift me, won't you lift me, with every turn..a..round.
Abm7             Ab                 F         Bb  C F
Play it sweetly, take me down...Oh, Jazz..man.
