Tom: Am
Am C D F
Am C D F Am
[Verse]
C D
Well, Mister Saxman, how do you do?
F Am
There's nobody here but me and you
C D
You've been blowin' all night, I know, and you need your rest
F
But before you go to bed, man, I've got one request
[Chorus]
Am C D
You played a blues for your baby
F
Now play a blues for me
Am C D
You played a blues for your baby
F Am
Now play a blues for me
[Verse]
C D
Ah, Mister Saxman, don't be shy
F Am
Don't be complaining that your mouth is dry
C D
I got a bottle of something right here in my coat
F
Stone guaranteed to lubricate your throat
[Chorus]
Am C D
You played a blues for your baby
F
Now play a blues for me
Am C D
You played a blues for your baby
F
Now play a blues for me
[Instrumental]
Am C D F
Am C D F
Am C D F Am
[Verse]
C D
Now, Mister Saxman, I know you play your horn
F Am
Like every shred of your soul was tattered and torn
C D
You make it sound like crying, you make it sound like a full flood of tears
F Am
Bring that thing over here
[Verse]
C D
Let me hear you play it for the lost and the lonely
F Am
Play it for the tricked and misused
C D
I want to hear you play it for every storm-blown disappointed soul
F Am
And for every heart that's been abused
[Verse]
C D
Let me hear you play it for all the women in the world
F Am
And make it blue
C D
And Mister Saxman, play it for me
F
'Cause I'm hurting too
[Chorus]
Am C D
Ah, you played a blues for your baby
F
Now play a blues for me
Am C D
You played a blues for your baby
F
Now play a blues for me
[Outro]
Am C D F
Am C D F
Am C D F Am D Am
