Ebmaj7
E7

[Verse 1]
---------------------
G6            F6           G/A     F6
  This is the day of the expanding man
G6                 F6                   G/A     D7
  That shape is my shade, there where I used to stand
Fmaj7             E7              Am7
     It seems like  only yesterday
                         Bb13
I gazed through the glass
   E7             B7               Bm7        E7  E7
At ramblers, wild gamblers, that's all in the past

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
G6              F6                   G/A   F6
  You call me a fool, you say it's a crazy scheme
G6               F6              G/A        A7
  This one's for real, I already bought the dream
Fmaj7             E7           Am7                    Gm7       C7
     So useless to  ask me why,   throw a kiss and say   goodbye
Fmaj7                 Em7+5     D7             Fmaj7
     I'll make it this     time,  I'm ready to cross that fine line

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Am7                  Em7
   Learn to work the saxophone
Dm7                 Cmaj7
   I, I'll play just     what I feel
Bbmaj7              Am7       G6
Drink Scotch whisky all night long
F#7-5 Fmaj7       Em7+5      Fmaj7         Am7
           And die     behind     the wheel
                        Em7
They got a name for the winners in the world
Dm7               Cmaj7
   I, I wanna name     when I lose
     Bbmaj7             Am7     G6
They call  Alabama, the Crimson Tide
F#7-5 Fmaj7    Em7+5      Fmaj7    Am7            Em7
           Call     me Deacon Blues   Deacon Blues

[Interlude (1)]
---------------------
Dmaj7 | Dbm7+5 | Cmaj7 | Gadd9 | Ebmaj7 | E7#9 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G6               F6                G/A      F6
  My back to the wall, a victim of laughing chance
G6            F6                 G/A    D7
  This is for me, the essence of true romance
Fmaj7           E7                       Am7                     Bb13
     Sharing the  things we know and love   with those of my kind
  E7          B7           Bm7         E7  E7
Libations, sensations that stagger the mind

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
G6               F6                    G/A    F6
  I crawl like a viper through these suburban streets
G6                   F6                G/A   A7
  Make love to these women languid and bittersweet
Fmaj7                  E7              Am7                Gm7       C7
     I'll rise when the  sun goes down,   cover ev'ry game   in town
Fmaj7             Em7+5    D7                Fmaj7
     A world of my     own,  I'll make it my home sweet home

[Verse 3]

G6            F6             G/A     F6
  This is the night of the expanding man
G6                F6          G/A        A7
  I take one last drag as I approach the stand
Fmaj7              E7                Am7                    Gm7    C7
     I cried when I  wrote this song,   sue me if I play too   long
Fmaj7               Em7+5     D7               Fmaj7
     This brother is     free,  I'll be what I want to be

           And die     behind     the wheel
                        Em7
They got a name for the winners in the world
Dm7               Cmaj7
   I, I wanna name     when I lose
     Bbmaj7             Am7     G6
