E7
Well, I tried, and I tried,
        A
But the river seems so wide.
       A
And my head hurts and my hands are tied.

         E7
And it's so... hard,
            A
When you're standing on the yard,
      A
Every time that your number comes a-round.

Chorus 1:

              D
Call me up in Dreamland, radio to me man.
                E7
Get the message to me, anyway you can.
                     D
Well, let your river roll, a-way down in your soul,
              A
Never to grow old... on the saxo-phone.

Verse 2:

         E7
From the airport, to the plane,
  A
A-way to the railroad trains.
             E7
Why can't we take it from the top,
              A
And start all over again?

              E7
Everytime you hear that whistle blow,
    A
You know you gotta put on your show;
      A
Every time your number comes a-round.

Chorus 2:

              D
Call me up in Dreamland, radio to me man.
                E7
Get the message to me, anyway you can.
                     D
Well, let your river roll, a-way down in your soul,
              A
Never to grow old... on the saxo-phone.

Sax Solo:

A (x2)

Verse 4:

         E7
From the car, to the bar;
   A
Or why don't you pour it in a jar?
         D
An put a label on it,
    A
And send it off to the lost and found.

             E7
You've gotta get it in your brain,
       A
But be-fore you go in-sane;
      A
Every time your number comes a-round. (Here it comes);

Chorus 3:

              D
Call me up in Dreamland, radio to me man.
                E7
Get the message to me, anyway you can.
                     D
Well, let your river roll, a-way down in your soul,
              A
Never to grow old... on the saxo-phone.

Coda:

              A
Never to grow old... on the saxo-phone.
              A7
Never to grow old... on the saxo-pho...ne.
(Lord have mercy!)
