Christie Lee

Billy Joel

Transposer:

[Verse 1] N.C. C Let me tell you a story About a woman and a man Maybe you will find familiar Maybe you won’t understand 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 2] N.C. C He was working in a night club That’s where he played the saxophone He used to fake the stock arrangements He left the customers alone But one night before the last song About a quarter after three He saw her standing at the coat check N.C. C And made his move on Christie Lee [Chorus] Christie Lee Christie Lee Christie Lee Christie Lee Ooo Ooo [Verse 3] N.C. C 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 saxophone She wanted more than just an encore And he could play in every key He left the stage and packed his alto N.C. C And took it home with Christie Lee [Bridge] Oh I heard the man 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 4] N.C. G7 It took a while for him to notice It took a while for him to see He was never in control here N.C. C It was always Christie Lee [Chorus] Christie Lee Christie Lee Christie Lee Christie Lee Ooo Ooo [Bridge] Oh the man took a calculated gamble Yes the man had the power to perform 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 5] N.C. C 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 saxophone Even the band must face the music That’s what the moral is to me The only time you hit the high notes N.C. C Is when you play for Christie Lee [Outro] Christie Lee Christie Lee Christie Lee Christie Lee Ooo Christie Lee Christie Lee Christie Lee Christie Lee Christie Lee Christie Lee Aahh ha Christie Lee Christie Lee

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'une relation entre un homme et une femme, où le protagoniste, un saxophoniste, semble ignorer les véritables désirs de Christie Lee. Il joue dans un club de nuit, se concentrant sur sa musique, mais il ne réalise pas que Christie Lee ne cherche pas un partenaire, mais simplement quelqu'un qui puisse apprécier son talent musical. Alors qu'il pense être en contrôle, c’est en réalité elle qui dirige leur dynamique, et il finit par comprendre qu'elle avait besoin de sa musique bien plus que de sa présence. Le récit se déroule dans l’ambiance d’un club de jazz, où se mêlent la passion pour la musique et les relations humaines. Au fur et à mesure qu'il tente de s'approcher d'elle, il se rend compte qu'il n'est pas capable de lui apporter ce qu'elle désire. La chanson explore ainsi les thèmes de l’illusion, de la compréhension et de la différence de besoins entre deux personnes. Finalement, cela le conduit à une chute, illustrant que l'art et les relations ne sont pas toujours alignés.
