C Am G F
Let me tell you a story about a woman and a ma-a-n
D G
Maybe you will find familiar, maybe you won't understand
C Am G F
The man's name I don't remember, he was always Joe to me-e-e
G C/G G C/G G C
But I can't forget the woman she was always Christie Lee

C Am G F

He was working in the night club that's where he played the saxopho-o-one
D G
He used to fake the stock arrangements he left the customers alone
C Am G F
One night before the last song, about a quarter after three-ee-ee
G C/G G C/G G C
He saw her standing at the coat check, and made his move on Christie Lee

C
Christie Lee, Christie Lee
Am G F G C
Christie Lee Christie Lee-ee-ee

C Am G F
She was a nice piece of music, she had a rhythm all her o-o-own
D G
He blew a solo like a blind man, she really dug his saxophone
C Am G F
She wanted more than just an encore, and he could play in every ke-e-ey
G C C7
He left the stage and packed his alto, and took it home to Christie Lee

F
Oh, I heard the man knew �The Bird� like the Bible
C
You know the man could blow an educated axe
F
He couldn�t see that Christie Lee was a woman
D G
Who didn�t need another lover all she wanted was the sax

C Am G F
It tool a while for him to notice, it took a while for him to see-ee-ee
G C
He was never in control here, it was always Christie Lee

C
Christie Lee, Christie Lee
Am G F G C C7
Christie Lee Christie Lee-ee-ee

F
Oh the man took a calculated gamble
C
Yes the man had the power to perform
F
But Christie Lee was more than he knew how to handle
D G
She didn�t need him as a man, all she wanted was the horn

C Am G F
They say that Joe became a wino, they say he always drinks alo-oo-one
D G
They say he stumbles like a blind man, they say he sold his saxophone
C Am G F
Even the band must face the music, that�s what the moral is to me-ee-ee
G C
The only time you hit the high notes... is when you play for Christie Lee

C
Christie Lee, Christie Lee
Am G F G C
Christie Lee Christie Lee-ee-ee

C
Christie Lee, Christie Lee
Am G F G C
Christie Lee Christie Lee-ee-ee
