Tonart: G# minor•
Verse 1
E
Did you always play the way you did,
I mean, Coleman Hawkins
F#
was the tenor sax man then,
in those days.
E
D#
Yeah, well I had a lot of trouble
F#
E#
E
because the people couldn't understand the way I sound,
and they wanted me to play like Coleman Hawkins,
you know, to each his own, you know.
F#
E
Things like that, so I played in a band,
and there was about three
Three boys from the west,
they fired the trombone player,
D#
a great big envelope,
E
and they fired the trumpet player.
He was going, well I'm the third party,
I know they're going to fire me too,
you dig?
We were all from Kansas City
F#
E
you know. We came to New York,
D#
F#
so we wasn't in
the New York clique
G#m
you know. So that made the difference,
G#
so I went to him and asked him
G#m
could I get a recommendation
E
F#
E
so I could split and go back home you know.
G#m
E
E#
So he did, and I went back
E
and then I started playing with Andy Kirk.
F#
G#m
G#
But you replaced Hawkins,
didn't you,
in the Fletch Anderson band?
G#m
Yes, I did. Wasn't it pretty tough
G#
for you to replace him
F#
when everybody was so used
to the Hawkins style?
E#
F#
E
Oh yeah, I caught all kind of trouble,
F#
E
you know, like that, because most of the people
would come out to hear him
and see me up there and
E#
G#
listen to the way I sound,
you know, and they're looking
F#
for him.
E
I think he was in Switzerland or Sweden,
something like that.
