[Intro]
E A E
I cut my teeth on Gumbo rock, Benny Spellman and Dr. John
Sweet Erma Thomas and Frogman Henry
F# B
Used to boogie woogie all night long
A
Though I love rock n' roll the acoustic guitar
E
Was the only way I had of becomin' a star
F#
I'm doin' really nice and travellin' around
B A B
But they won't play my record in my old home town
E A
But if I had saxophones
E
Yeah, big baritone cleanin' up the muddy breaks
A
If I had saxophones
B A
I could get some recognition from that Mobile, Alabama D J
E
Livin' by the ocean, sometimes I get the notion
A E
To take my Janey down town
We hang out in a funky little bar
F#m B
They call it the "Shipwreck Lounge"
A
Well we get kind of drunk and we play rock n' roll
E
Grabbin' everybody right down in his soul
F#
When we get to cookin' somethin's still wrong
B A B
There's still somethin' missin' from them good ole songs
E A
But if we had saxophones
E
Big baritone cleanin' up the muddy breaks
A
If we had saxophones
B A
I could make that joint shimmy like a big California earth quake
E A
Yeah if we had saxophones
E
Yeah, big baritone cleanin' up the muddy breaks
A
If we had saxophones
B A
I could get some recognition from that Mobile, Alabama D J
