C7sus4
Ever feel kind of down and out, you don't know just
C7sus4
What to do?
C7sus4
Living all of your days in darkness, let the
C7sus4
Sun shine through

Fm7
Ever feel that somehow, somewhere, you
Fm7             C7sus4
Lost your way?

And if you don't get-a help quick, you won't make it
C7sus4
Through the day?

[Chorus]

Gm7                 Fm7        Bb11
A-could you call on Lady Day?
                  C7sus4
Could you call on John Coltrane?  Now, âcause they'll
    Gm7              Fm7            Bb11
A-they'll wash your troubles, your trou-
                                      C7sus4
-bles, your troubles, your troubles away!

Plastic people with plastic minds are on their way to
C7sus4
Plastic homes
C7sus4
No beginning, there ain't no ending.  Just
C7sus4                         Fm7
On and on and on and on and on.  It's

All because they're so afraid to say that
              C7sus4
They're alone
C7sus4
Until our hero rides in, rides in on his
C7sus4
Saxophone

[Chorus]
Gm7                  Fm7       Bb11
A-could you call on Lady Day?
                       C7sus4
And could you call on John Coltrane?  Now, 'cause they'll
   Gm7                Fm7           Bb11
