                    C                D
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
                     F
Now play a blues for me
             Am                   C   D
You played a blues for your baby
                     F    Am
Now play a blues for me

[Verse]
                  C               D
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
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

[Instrumental]
Am   C   D   F
Am   C   D   F
Am   C   D   F   Am

[Verse]
                   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

Am   C   D   F
Am   C   D   F
Am   C   D   F   Am     D   Am
