[Verse 1]
N.C.Let me tell you a sCtory
About a woman and a mAman G F
Maybe you will find famD7iliar
Maybe you won't undersG7tand
The man's name I don't remCember
He was always Joe to Amme G F
But I can't forget the Gwoman
She was always Christie LCee
[Verse 2]
N.C.He was working in a Cnight club
That's where he played the saxopAmhoneG F
He used to fake the stock arrD7angements
He left the customers alG7one
But one night before the lCast song
About a quarter after tAmhreeG F
He saw her standing at the cGoat check
N.C.And made his move on Christie LCee
[Chorus]
Christie Lee, Christie LCee
Christie Lee, Christie LAmee G F
OooG
OooC
[Verse 3]
N.C.She was a nice piece of Cmusic
She had a rhythm all her Amown G F
He blew a solo like a bD7lind man
She really dug his saxopG7hone
She wanted more than just an Cencore
And he could play in every Amkey G F
He left the stage and packed his Galto
N.C.And took it home with Christie CLee
[Bridge]
Oh I heard the mFan knew 'the bird' like the bible
You know the Cman could blow an educated axe
He couldn't Fsee that Christie Lee was a woman
Who didn't nD7eed another lover
All she wGanted was the sax C/G
[Verse 4]
N.C.It took a while for him to G7notice
It took a while for him to sAmee G F
He was never in conGtrol here
N.C.It was always Christie CLee
[Chorus]
Christie Lee, Christie Lee
Christie Lee, Christie AmLee G F
OooG
OooC
[Bridge]
Oh the Fman took a calculated gamble
Yes the Cman had the power to perform
But Christie LFee was more than he knew how to handle
She didn't nD7eed him as a man
All she wGanted was the horn C/G G7
[Verse 5]
N.C.They say that Joe became a Cwino
They say he always drinks alAmoneG F
They say he stumbles like a bD7lind man
They say he sold his saxopGhone
Even the band must face the mCusic
That's what the moral is to Amme G F
The only time you hit the Ghigh notes
N.C.Is when you play for Christie CLee
[Outro]
CChristie Lee, Christie Lee
Christie Lee, Christie AmLeeG F
Ooo G
Christie Lee, Christie CLee
Christie Lee, Christie Lee
Christie Lee, Christie AmLeeG F
Aahh, Gha
Christie Lee, Christie CLee
