Gm7      Am7       Bbmaj7   Ebmaj7          Gm7
Lift me, won't you lift me above the old routine
Abmaj7        Fm7            F6/G
Make it nice, play it clean, Jazzman


Bb/C Bb/C Bb/C Bb/C  C


[Verse]

         Bb/C      C
When the Jazzman's testifyin'
  Bb6/C           Fmaj7
A faithless man believes
       Bb/C          C
He can sing you into paradise
   Bb6/C             G6/A
Or bring you to your knees
       Bb/C           C
It's a gospel kind of feelin'
  Bb6/C            Fmaj7
A touch of Georgia slide
  Bb/C           C
A song of pure revival
      Bb6/C              Dm7
And a style that's sanctified


[Chorus]

Bb/C   C    Bb/C           C
Jazz...man, take my blues away
        Bb/C     C
Make my pain the same as yours
     Bb6/C            Fmaj7
With every change you play


[Bridge]

Abmaj7       F6/G
Jazzman, oh, Jazzman


[Verse]

         Bb/C      C
When the Jazzman's signifyin'
        Bb6/C           Fmaj7
And the band is windin' low
         Bb/C               C
It's the late night side of morning
       Bb6/C           G6/A
In the darkness of his soul
       Bb/C             C
He can fill a room with sadness
      Bb6/C               Fmaj7
As he fills his horn with tears
       Bb/C              C
He can cry like a fallen angel
     Bb6/C          Dm7
When risin' time is near

Bb/C   C    Bb/C           C
Jazz...man, take my blues away

        Bb/C     C
Make my pain the same as yours
     Bb6/C            Fmaj7
With every change you play

    Gm7      Am7       Bbmaj7       Ebmaj7     Gm7
Oh, lift me, won't you lift me with every turnaround
Abmaj7           Fm7               F6/G
Play it sweetly, take me down, oh, Jazzman
