IntroBb/GCDmEbmaj7Gm
Lift me, wont you lift me, above the old routine
AbG
Make it nice, play it clean, Jazzman
1st sax solo - Bb/GCBb/GCBb/GAm
When the Jazzmans testifyin a faithless man believes
Bb/GCBb/GCG
he can sing you into paradise or bring you to your knees
Bb/GCBb/GAm
Its a gospel kind of feelin a touch of Georgia slide
Bb/GCBb/GCDm (FGAbAb)
a song of pure revival and a style thats sanctified
Bb/GCBb/GCBb/G
Jazzman take my blues away, make my pain
CBb/GAm
the same as yours with every change you play
AbG
Jazzman, oh Jazzman
2nd sax solo - Bb/GCBb/GCBb/GAm
When Jazzmans signifyin and the band is windin low
Bb/GCBb/GCG
Its the late night side of morning in the darkness of his soul
Bb/GCBb/GAm
He can fill a room with sadness as he fills his horns with tears
Bb/GCBb/GCDm
He can cry like a fallen angel when risin time is near
Bb/GCBb/GCBb/G
Jazzman take my blues away, make my pain
CBbGGAm
the same as yours with every change you play
Bb/GCDmEbmaj7Gm
Oh lift me, wont you lift me with evry turn around
AbG
Play it sweetly, take me down, oh Jazzman
