[Verse 1]
[Bb]My name [A]is N[Am]orman[A]
- - Lou [Am]Norman[A]
I've been [C#]in this business for [A]fif[Am]teen years
If people have [A]a probl[D]em and don't want t[E]alk to t[Am]he police,
they want talk to [A]me[Am]
So, [Bb]this Friday afternoon [A]I got
a phone [Em]call[Am]
Young lady [A]asked me to go down[Am]town[E]
[Am][C]

[Interlude 1]
[D][Em][Am][A][Am][D][C][Am]

[Verse 2]
What the hell is a girl [Am]like [E]Mandy Cooper doing at the
lower [D]Manhattan Ocean [A]Club?[E][Em][Am]
Looking like a Tex[A]an mod[E]el[Am]
And [A]with a voice [Am]like
[D]Mahalia Jackson[C][Am]
She don't need [A]to work
in slot[Am]s like th[Em]is[Am]
She got the pair [Em]of blue e[D]yes
that look [Em]green [Am]to me
And [Eb]then she ap[Am]proached me
Oh [C]boy[Am][C]

[Interlude 2]
[Am][C][A][Am]
[Em][Am][E][Am][C][Am][E]

[Verse 3]
Miss Cooper, I [E]sup[Em]pose?[C][D]
Let's [Em]stop play[Am]ing games
I'm on the job here, let's come to terms
She tried to [E]wind me up with [Em]some non[C]sense [Am]about an
ex- boyfriend who was giving her a hard [Em]time[C]
[Am]I said listen honey,
[E]we [Am]all know you can help yourself
If you want me to [D]work on your [E]case,
[Am]let's get things straight - - and now

[Interlude 3]
[Am][A][Am][D][Em][Am][Em][E][Am]

[Verse 4]
[A]Oh [Em]boy[Am][A]
[Am]Nobody [F]is ever gonna
damage your [Am]career[D]
With [Em]a voice [Am]like this and
a pair of eyes
You're gonna be huge in any
[D]business[Am][Em][Am]
You still don't [A]smoke?
[D]I need a [C]drink
And [Am]maybe you'll join me
Looks bet[Am]ter for the chappy
over [C]there[Em][Am]
Looks like [D]old [Am]friends
[Am]Meeting after a hard night's work
[Em][Am][C][Am][Em]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
[F]I walked to the corner [Am]slowly
Wanted to ask Mr. Big [F]here for [Am]a light

[Interlude 4]
He turned around
[Am][Am][Em][Am][G]
I put [Bb]a quarter

[Verse 6]
[Am]into the j[Am]ukebox and
played a beautiful Ave [Am]Maria[A]
When I turned around,
[D]Mis[C]s Cooper had gone
