When you're [D]standing on the [A]yard,

Every [D]time that your [E7]number comes a-[A]round.

Call me up in [A]Dreamland, radio to [D]me man.

Get the message [A]to me, anyway you [E7]can.

Well, let your river [A]roll, a-way down in your [D]soul,

Never to grow [A]old... [E7]on the saxo-[D]phone.[A]



Verse 2:



From the [A]airport, to the [E7]plane,

A-[D]way to the railroad [A]trains.

Why can't we [D]take it from the [E7]top,

And start all [A]over again?



Everytime you [A]hear that whistle [E7]blow,

You [D]know you gotta [A]put on your show;

Every [D]time your [E7]number comes a-[A]round.
