This is the day


G/A Ebmaj7-5/f
Of the expanding man

G6 F6
That shape is my shade

G/A Cmaj7-5/D
There where I used to stand

Fmaj9 E7-9 Am7
It seems like only yesterday

Bb13
I gazed through the glass

E7
At ramblers

B7(no5)
Wild gamblers

Dm/B E7 Bm7-5/f E7+9+5
That's all in the past

G13 Ebmaj7-5/f
You call me a fool
b4 a d5 c
G/A F13-5add9
You say it's a crazy scheme

G13 F13
This one's for real

Gmaj7/a A13
I already bought the dream

Fmaj9 E7-9
So useless to ask me why

a4 ab g
Am7 Gm7 Bbmaj7/c Gb9+5 Fmaj9
Throw a kiss and say goodbye

C/E
I'll make it this time

D9 Fmaj7/g F/G
I'm ready to cross that fine line

Am7 Em7
I'll learn to work the saxophone

Dm7 Cmaj7
I'll play just what I feel
c4 c
Bbmaj9 Am7 G6 Gb7-5 Fmaj7
Drink Scotch whisky all night long

C/E Fmaj7 Am7
And die be hind the wheel

Em7
They got a name for the winners in the world

Dm7 Cmaj7
I want a name when I lose

Bbmaj9 Am7 G6 Gb7-5 Fmaj7
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide

Call me Deacon Blues

My back to the wall

a3 bb c4 D a3
G/A F13
A victim of laughing chance

Esus2/g F13
This is for me

G/A Cmaj7-5/D
The essence of true ro mance

Fmaj9 E7-9 Am7
Sharing the things we know and love

Bb13
With those of my kind

E7
Li bations

B7(no5)
Sen sations

Dm/B E7 Bm7-5/f E7+9
That stagger the mind

Gmaj13 Ebmaj7-5/f
I crawl like a viper
b4 a d5 c
G/A F13-5add9
Through these su burban streets

Gmaj13 F13
Make love to these women

Gmaj7/a A13
Languid and bitter sweet

I'll rise when the sun goes down
