Hey Mister, That’s Me Upon The Jukebox
(James Taylor)
Hey mister, that’s me upon the jukebox [D C Bm] I’m the one that’s singing this sad song [D C G] I’ll cry everytime that you slip in one more dime [D C Bm Esus E7] And let the boy sing the sad one, one more time [Em7 A7 D Em7 A]
Southern California is as blue as the boy can be [Bm E7 Bm E7] Blue as the deep blue sea [C G] Won’t you listen to me now [Bm E7] I need your Golden Gated cities like a hole in the head [Bm E7 Bm E7] Like a hole in the head, I’m free! [C G D ( C G A )]
I do believe I’m headed home [D F#m Bm] Hey mister, can’t you see that I’m as dry as a bone [C G A D] I think I’ll spend some time alone [Bm F#m G] Unless you found a way of squeezing water from a stone [C G C A]
Let the doctor and the lawyer do as much as they can [Bm E7 Bm E7] Let the springtime begin [C G] Let the boy become a man [Bm E7] I have wasted too much time just to sing you this sad song [Bm E7 Bm E7] I’ve been this lonesome picker a little too long [C G D, Em7 A]
Hey mister, that’s me upon the jukebox [D C Bm]
I’m the one that’s singing this sad song [D C G]
I’ll cry everytime that you slip in one more dime [D C Bm Esus E7]
And let the boy sing the sad one, one more time [Em7 A7 D, Em7 A]
[fade on Bm-E7 progression]
Well, I’ve been spreading myself thin these days,
don’t you know
Good-bye.
