Verse 1:
        A            E7
Well, I tried, and I tried,

        D              A
But the river seems so wide.

       D    E7                     A
And my head hurts and my hands are tied.

         A     E7
And it's so... hard,

            D               A
When you're standing on the yard,

      D              E7             A
Every time that your number comes a-round.
Chorus 1:
              A                   D
Call me up in Dreamland, radio to me man.

                A                 E7
Get the message to me, anyway you can.

                     A                        D
Well, let your river roll, a-way down in your soul,

              A      E7          D     A
Never to grow old... on the saxo-phone.
Verse 2:
         A               E7
From the airport, to the plane,

  D                   A
A-way to the railroad trains.

             D                E7
Why can't we take it from the top,

              A
And start all over again?

              A                 E7
Everytime you hear that whistle blow,

    D              A
You know you gotta put on your show;

      D         E7             A
Every time your number comes a-round.
Chorus 2:
              A                   D
Call me up in Dreamland, radio to me man.

                A                 E7
Get the message to me, anyway you can.

                     A                        D
Well, let your river roll, a-way down in your soul,

              A      E7          D     A
Never to grow old... on the saxo-phone.
Sax Solo: A E7 D A, D E7 A (x2) Verse 4:
         A           E7
From the car, to the bar;

   D                          A
Or why don't you pour it in a jar?

         D
An put a label on it,

    E7                          A
And send it off to the lost and found.

             A              E7
You've gotta get it in your brain,

       D              A
But be-fore you go in-sane;

      D         E7             A
Every time your number comes a-round. (Here it comes);

Never to grow old... on the saxo-phone.

Never to grow old... on the saxo-pho...ne.
