Ebmaj7 E7#9
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 E7b9 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 scheme
G13 F13 G/A A7
This one's for real I already bought the dream
Fmaj7 E7b9
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
Am7 Em7
I'll Learn to work the saxophone
Dm7 Cmaj7
I'll play just what I feel
Bbmaj7 Am Am/G Am/F# Fmaj7
Drink scotch whiskey all night long
Csus2/E Fmaj9 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 Am7 Em7
Call me Deacon Blues (Deacon Blues)
Dmaj7 Asus2/C# Cmaj7 Gsus2/B Ebmaj7 E7#9
G13 F13 G/A F13
My back to the wall a victim of laughing chance
G13 F13 G/A D9
This is for me the essence of true romance
Fmaj7 E7b9 Am7 Bb13
Sharing the things we know and love with those of my kind
E7 B7 B7#9 E7 B7#9 E7
Libations, sensations which stagger the mind
G13 F13 G/A F13
I crawl like a viper through these suburban streets
G13 F13 G/A A7
Make love to these women languid and bittersweet
Fmaj7 E7b9
I'll rise when the sun goes down
Am7 Gm7 F#maj7 Fmaj7
Cover every game in town
Csus2/E
A world of my own
D9 F/G
I'll make it my home sweet home

Cmaj7 Em7 A13 D7+ G13 B7#9 Em7 A13
Fmaj7 F#7#9 Gmaj7 B7#9
Repeat these two lines once
(play the INTRO chords)
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 E7b9
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
