...THE SAXOPHONE SONG... by Kate Bush
------------------------.............

*from 'The Kick Inside' (1978)*


Intro:

Dm  Am

Verse 1:

Dm
 You'll find me,
     Am
In a Berlin bar,
Bb    F
 In a corner,
Dm
 Brooding.

Dm
 You know that,
  Am
I go very quiet,
Bb
 When I'm,
F             G
 Listening to you.

        Dm
There's something,
Special indeed,
There's something,
Special indeed.

Chorus 1:

D
 In all the places,
G
 Where I've seen,
You shine, boy,
D
 There's something,
     G
Very real in,
How I feel,
G      Em
 Honey.

        C
It's in me,
G        Em Bm
 It's in me-e.
And you know,
     Am
It's for real.

F
 Tuning in,
On your...
    (Am)
Saxo-phone.

Break:

Am  F, Dm (x3)

F
 Doo-bee,
        E7
Doo-bee-doo...
F#sus4 F#
 Ooh  -ooh.

Interlude:

Dm

Verse 2:

Dm          Am
 The candle burning,
               Bb   F
Over your shoulder,
Dm
 Is throwing,

Dm       Am
 Shadows from,
Your saxophone,
Bb       F
 A surly lady,
   G
In tremor.

    Dm
The stars,
That climb,
From her bowels,
Those stars make,
Towers on vowels.

Chorus 2:

D
 You'll never see,
     G
That you had all of me,
D
 You'll never know,
         G
The poet-ry,
You've stirred in me.
D
 Of all the stars,
     G
I've seen that,
Shine so brightly,
D
 I've never known,
   G
Or felt in myself,
   G        Em
So rightly.

        C
It's in me,
G        Em Bm
 It's in me-e.
And you know,
     Am
It's for real.

F
 Tuning in,
On your...
    (Am)
Saxo-phone.

Break:

Am  F, Dm (x3)

F
 Doo-bee,
        E7
Doo-bee-doo...
F#sus4 F#
 Ooh  -ooh.

Outro:

Dm

(Repeat to Fade)
