Jazzman Tab

by Carole King


JAZZMAN:Carole King.
#2 in '74.(This is the same song Lisa
plays on her sax with 'Bleeding Gums"
Murphy on an episode of the Simpsons.)

INTRO:
                              
Lift me, won't you lift me above the old routine,
                                   
Make it nice, play it clean Jazz...man.

#1.
                                        
When the Jazzman's testifyin' a faithless man believes.
                                         
he can sing you into paradise or bring you to your knees.
                                          
It's a gospel kind of feelin', a touch of Georgia slide,
                                      
a song of pure revival and a style that's sanctified.

CHORUS:
                                  
Jazz..man...take my blues away, make my pain the same
                             
as yours, with every change you play.
             
Jazzman...oh, Jazzman.

#2.
                                 
When the Jazzman's signifyin', and the band is 
        
windin' low.
                                       
It's the late night side of morning in the darkness 
         
of his soul.
                                       
He can fill a room with sadness as he fills his horn 
     
with tears.
                                      
He can cry like a fallen angel when risin' time is near.


CHORUS:
                              
Jazzman take my blues away, make my pain
                                      
the same as yours, with every change you play.
             
Jazz..man, Oh, Jazz..man.

ADD:
                                
Oh, lift me, won't you lift me with every turn around.
                                       
Play it sweetly, take me down, Oh, Jazz..man.


OUTRO:

                                     
Oh, lift me, won't you lift me, with every turn..a..round.
                                          
Play it sweetly, take me down...Oh, Jazz..man.


A seventies hit from Kraziekhat.
