[Verse 1]
N.C.                      C
Let me tell you a story
                                    Am G F
About a woman and a man
                                        D7
Maybe you will find familiar
                                       G7
Maybe you won't understand
                                                C
The man's name I don't remember
                                  Am G F
He was always Joe to me
                                        G
But I can't forget the woman
                                       C
She was always Christie Lee

[Verse 2]
N.C.                           C
He was working in a night club
                                                      Am G F
That's where he played the saxophone
                                                 D7
He used to fake the stock arrangements
                                     G7
He left the customers alone
                                         C
But one night before the last song
                                  Am    G F
About a quarter after three
                                            G
He saw her standing at the coat check
N.C.                                            C
And made his move on Christie Lee

[Chorus]
                                  C
Christie Lee, Christie Lee
                                   Am G F
Christie Lee, Christie Lee
      G
Ooo
       C
Ooo

[Verse 3]
N.C.                                C 
She was a nice piece of music
                                       Am G F
She had a rhythm all her own
                                   D7
He blew a solo like a blind man
                                       G7
She really dug his saxophone
                                                     C
She wanted more than just an encore
                                           Am G F
And he could play in every key
                                                       G
He left the stage and packed his alto
N.C.                                            C
And took it home with Christie Lee

[Bridge]
                          F
Oh I heard the man knew 'the bird' like the bible
                       C
You know the man could blow an educated axe
                   F
He couldn't see that Christie Lee was a woman
                   D7
Who didn't need another lover
                 G                         C/G
All she wanted was the sax

[Verse 4]
N.C.                                        G7
It took a while for him to notice
                                          Am G F
It took a while for him to see
                                 G
He was never in control here
N.C.                            C
It was always Christie Lee

[Chorus]
Christie Lee, Christie Lee
                                  Am G F
Christie Lee, Christie Lee
         G
Ooo
         C
Ooo

[Bridge]
               F
Oh the man took a calculated gamble
               C
Yes the man had the power to perform
                    F
But Christie Lee was more than he knew how to handle
                  D7
She didn't need him as a man
               G                            C/G G7
All she wanted was the horn

[Verse 5]
N.C.                                       C
They say that Joe became a wino
                                            Am G F
They say he always drinks alone
                                              D7
They say he stumbles like a blind man
                                            G
They say he sold his saxophone
                                                C
Even the band must face the music
                                           Am G F
That's what the moral is to me
                                         G
The only time you hit the high notes
N.C.                                         C
Is when you play for Christie Lee

[Outro]
C
Christie Lee, Christie Lee
                                  Am G F
Christie Lee, Christie Lee
G
Ooo
                                    C
Christie Lee, Christie Lee

Christie Lee, Christie Lee
                                 Am G F
Christie Lee, Christie Lee
             G
Aahh, ha
                                   C
Christie Lee, Christie Lee
