[Am] Oh, Mr.
Saxman, [C] don't be shy.

[D] stone guaranteed to lubricate [F] your throat.

Saxman, [C] I know you play a horn

[Am] Let me hear you play it [C] for the lost and the lonely.

[Am] I want to hear you play it for every [C] storm-blown,
disappointed soul [D] and for every heart that's been [F] abused.
[Am] Let me hear you play it [C] for all the [D] women in the world
