    • Verse 1
    Let 
    me 
    tell 
    you 
    a story 

    About 
    a woman 
    and 
    a man 

    Maybe 
    you 
    will find 
    fa
    mili
    ar 

    Maybe 
    you 
    won't 
    understand 

    Verse 2

    The man's 
    name 
    I 
    don't 
    remember 

    He 
    was 
    always 
    Joe 
    to me 

    But 
    I can't 
    forget 
    the woman 

    She 
    was 
    always 
    Christie 
    Lee 

    Verse 3

    He 
    was 
    working 
    in 
    a night 
    club 

    That's 
    where 
    he played 
    the saxo
    phone 

    He 
    used 
    to 
    fake 
    to stock 
    ar
    rangements 

    He 
    left 
    the 
    customers 
    alone 

    Verse 4

    But 
    one 
    night 
    before 
    the 
    last 
    song 

    About 
    a 
    quarter 
    after 
    three 

    He saw 
    her standing 
    at 
    the coat 
    check 

    And 
    made 
    his 
    move 
    on 
    Christie 
    Lee 

    Verse 5

    Christie 
    Lee, 
    Christie 
    Lee 

    Christie 
    Lee, 
    Christie 
    Lee 


    Verse 6
    She 
    was 
    a nice 
    piece 
    of 
    music 

    She 
    had 
    a 
    rhythm 
    all 
    her 
    own 

    He 
    blew 
    a solo 
    like 
    a blind 
    man 

    She 
    really 
    dug 
    his saxo
    phone 

    Verse 7
    She 
    wanted 
    more 
    than 
    just 
    an 
    en
    core 

    And 
    he 
    could play 
    in 
    every 
    key 

    He 
    left 
    the stage 
    and 
    packed 
    his 
    alto 

    And 
    he took 
    it 
    home 
    with 
    Christie 
    Lee 

    Oh 
    I 
    heard 
    the man 
    Verse 8
    knew 

    "the 
    Bird" 
    like 
    the bible 

    You 
    know 
    the 
    man 
    could 

    blow 
    an 
    educated 
    axe 

    He 
    couldn't 
    see 
    that 
    Christie 

    Lee 
    was 
    a 
    woman 

    Who 
    didn't 
    need 
    another 
    lover 

    All 
    she 
    wanted 
    was 
    the sax 

    Verse 9
    It 
    took 
    a while 
    for 
    him 
    to notice 

    It 
    took 
    a 
    while 
    for 
    him 
    to see 

    He 
    was 
    never 
    in 
    control 
    here 

    It 
    was 
    always 
    Christie 
    Lee 

    Verse 10
    Christie 
    Lee, 
    Christie 
    Lee 

    Christie 
    Lee, 
    Christie 
    Lee 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 11
    Oh the 
    man 
    took 
    a calculated 
    gamble 

    Yes 
    the 
    man 
    had 
    the power 

    to 
    per
    form 

    But 
    Christie 
    Lee 
    was 
    more 
    than 

    he 
    knew 
    how 
    to 
    handle 

    She 
    didn't 
    need 
    him 
    as 
    a man 

    All 
    she 
    wanted 
    was 
    the 
    horn 

    Verse 12
    They say 
    that 
    Joe 
    became 
    a 
    wino 

    They say 
    he 
    always 
    drinks 
    alone 

    They say 
    he stumbles 
    like 
    a blind 
    man 

    They 
    say 
    he sold 
    his 
    saxo
    phone 

    Verse 13

    Even 
    the band 
    must 
    face 
    the 
    music 

    That's 
    what 
    the moral 
    is 
    to me 

    The 
    only 
    time 
    you 
    hit 
    the 
    high 
    note 

    Is 
    when 
    you 
    play 
    for Christie 
    Lee 

    Verse 14
    Christie 
    Lee, 

    Christie 
    Lee 


    Christie 
    Lee, 
    Christie 
    Lee

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
