Christie Lee Tabulatur von Billy Joel

Let me tell you a 
C
story about a woman and a 
F
man maybe you will find 
D
familiar maybe you won't 
G
understand

The man's name I don't 
C
remember he was always Joe to
F
me but I can't forget the
G 
woman she was always
C 
Christie Lee

He was working in a 
C
night club that's where he played the
F 
saxophone he used to fake the stock 
D
arrangements he left the customers 
G
alone

But one night before the last 
C
song about a quarter after 
F
three he saw her standing at the 
G
coat check and made his move on 
C
Christie Lee

Christie Lee
C
Christie Lee
Christie Lee 
F
Christie Lee
G     C
Wooh, wooh

She was a nice piece of 
C
music she had a rhythm all her 
F
own he blew a solo like a 
D
blind man she really dug his 
G
saxophone

She wanted more than just an
C
encore and he could play in every 
F
key he left the stage and packed his 
G
alto and took it home with 
C
Christie Lee

Oh I heard the 
F
man knew 'the bird' like the bible you know the 
G                          C
man could blow an educated axe he couldn't
F
see that Christie Lee was a woman who didn't 
G
need another lover all she wanted was the sax

It took a while for him to
C 
notice it took a while for him to 
F
see he was never in 
G
control here it was always 
C
Christie Lee

Christie Lee, 
C
Christie Lee
Christie Lee, 
F
Christie Lee
G     C
Wooh, wooh

Oh the 
F
man took a calculated gamble, yes the 
G                    C
man had the power to perform, but Christie
F
Lee was more than he knew how to handle, she didn't 
G
need him as a man, all she wanted was the horn

They say that Joe became a 
C
wino they say he always drinks 
F
alone they say he stumbles like a 
D
blind man they say he sold his 
G
saxophone

Even the band must face the 
C
music that's what the moral is to 
F
me the only time you hit the 
G
high notes is when you play for 
C
Christie Lee

Christie Lee,

Christie Lee,

Ah, Christie Lee, Christie Lee
C
