Well, Mister Saxman, how do you do?

                        F           Am
There's nobody here but me and you

                                      C                        D
You've been blowin' all night, I know, and you need your rest

                              F
But before you go to bed, man, I've got one request
[Chorus]
             Am                   C   D
You played a blues for your baby

Now play a blues for me

Now play a blues for me

Ah, Mister Saxman, don't be shy

                               F             Am
Don't be complaining that your mouth is dry

                           C                       D
I got a bottle of something right here in my coat

                                   F
Stone guaranteed to lubricate your throat
[Chorus]
             Am                   C   D

Now play a blues for me

                   C                            D
Now, Mister Saxman, I know you play your horn

                                  F                  Am
Like every shred of your soul was tattered and torn

                                           C                                 D
You make it sound like crying, you make it sound like a full flood of tears

                            F   Am
Bring that thing over here
[Verse]
                       C                             D
Let me hear you play it for the lost and the lonely

                                     F   Am
Play it for the tricked and misused

                                                 C                  D
I want to hear you play it for every storm-blown disappointed soul

                                        F   Am
And for every heart that's been abused
[Verse]
                            C                    D
Let me hear you play it for all the women in the world

    F              Am
And make it blue

                  C                D
And Mister Saxman, play it for me

                       F
'Cause I'm hurting too
[Chorus]
                 Am                   C   D
Ah, you played a blues for your baby

                     F
Now play a blues for me

             Am                   C   D
You played a blues for your baby

                     F
Now play a blues for me
[Outro] Am C D F Am C D F Am C D F Am D Am
