                      ----------------------------------


                          From the album AJA

                          Chords by Howard Wright  ([email protected])


INTRO:
------

Cmaj7   Gsus2/B   Bbmaj7    Fsus2/A    Dmaj7    Asus2/C#    Cmaj7    Gsus2/B

Ebmaj7    E7#9


VERSE 1:
--------

G13         F13          G/A     F13
This is the day of the expanding man

G13                F13                 G/A      D9
  That shape is my shade there where I used to stand

Fmaj7           E7-9       Am7                      Bb13
  It seems like only yesterday I gazed through the glass

   E7              B7
At ramblers, wild gamblers

       B7#9       E7     B7#9    E7
That's all in the past


G13           F13                 G/A   F13
You call me a fool you say it's a crazy scene

G13              F13            G/A        A7
  This one's for real I already bought the dream

Fmaj7          E7-9
  So useless to  ask me why

Am7              Gm7        F#maj7  Fmaj7
Throw a kiss and say goodbye

                Csus2/E
I'll make it this time

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


CHORUS:
-------

Am7                    Em7
I'll Learn to work the saxophone

Dm7       Cmaj7
   I play just what I feel

Bbmaj7               Am        Am/G   Am/F#  Fmaj7
Drink scotch whiskey all night long

     Csus2/E    Fmaj7(Viii)       Am7
And  die      behind      the wheel

                         Em7
They got a name for the winners in the world

Dm7      Cmaj7
I want a name when I lose

     Bbmaj7           Am      Am/G   Am/F#  Fmaj7
They call Alabama the crimson tide

Csus2/E     Fmaj7(Viii)  Am7            Em7
Call    me  Deacon       Blues  (Deacon Blues)


Dmaj7    Asus2/C#    Cmaj7    Gsus2/B   Ebmaj7   E7#9


VERSE 2 :    (Chords as VERSE 1)
---------

My back to the wall a victim of laughing chance

This is for me the essence of true romance

Sharing the things we know and love with those of my kind

Libations, sensations which stagger the mind

I crawl like a viper through these suburban streets

Make love to these women languid and bittersweet

I'll rise when the sun goes down

Cover every game in town

A world of my own

I'll make it my home sweet home


CHORUS:
-------

As before except for the last line of chords. Play these instead :

Dmaj7    Asus2/C#    Cmaj7    Gsus2/B    Bb13   Gsus2/B

Then it goes into .....

INSTRUMENTAL:
-------------

Cmaj7  Em7  A13  D7#5#9  G13   B7#9   Em7   A13

Fmaj7  F#7#9  Gmaj7  B7#9

Repeat these two lines once

Then play the INTRO chords to lead into the last verse...


Verse 3:
---------

G13         F13            G/A     F13
This is the night of the expanding man

G13                F13          G/A      A7
  I take one last drag as I approach the stand

Fmaj7             E7-9
   I cried when I wrote this song

Am7          Gm7          F#maj7  Fmaj7
 Sue me if I play too long

                Csus2/E
This brother is free

D9              F/G
 I'll be what I want to be


CHORUS
