INTRO

G-7      A-7       Bbmaj7     Ebmaj7          G-7
Lift me, won't you lift me, above the old routine
Ab            Ab/Bb          D-7/G
Make it nice, play it clean, Jazzman

1st sax solo - Bb/C   C

         Bb/C      C            Bb/C          F
When the Jazzman's testifying a faithless man believes
       Bb/C          C           Bb/C              E-7/A
he can sing you into paradise or bring you to your knees
       Bb/C            C          Bb/C             F
It's a gospel kind of feeling, a touch of Georgia slide
  Bb/C            C          G-7          A-7   D-7    D-7/G
a song of pure revival and a style that's sanctified

Bb/C C   F     F-/C    C
Jazzman, take my blues away,
        Bb/C      C
make my pain the same as yours
     Bb/C             F
with every change you play
Ab          D-7/G
Jazzman, oh Jazzman!

2nd sax solo - Bb/C   C

         Bb/C       C                 Bb/C            F
When the Jazzman's signifying and the band is winding low
         Bb/C               C              Bb/C            E-7/A
it's the late night side of morning in the darkness of his soul
       Bb/C             C             Bb/C                 F
He can fill a room with sadness as he fills his horns with tears
       Bb/C              C          G-7    A-7     D-7    D-7/G
He can cry like a fallen angel when rising time is near

Bb/C C   F     F-/C    C
Jazzman, take my blues away,
        Bb/C      C
make my pain the same as yours
     Bb/C             F
with every change you play
Ab          D-7/G
Jazzman, oh Jazzman!

G-7      A-7       Bbmaj7     Ebmaj7          G-7
Lift me, won't you lift me, above the old routine
Ab            Ab/Bb          D-7/G
Make it nice, play it clean, Jazzman

End sax solo - Bb/C   C
