Verse :
FA/DO DOadd2 DOadd2add4
Old Beale street is coming down
SIb/MIb
Sweetie's snack bar boarded up know
SOLm9
And there goes the tailor, and the shine boy's gone
SOLm9
Faded out with rag time blues
FA/DO DOadd2
Handy's cast in bronze
DOadd2add4 SIb/MIb
And he's standing in a little park
SOLm9
with his trumpet in his hand like he's listening back
to the good old days, and the kick of high-heeled shoes
DOadd2
Furry sings the blues
SIb/MIb
Laughing, smoking, drinking he'll play for you
SOLm9
It's mostly muttering now, and side show spiel
SOLm9 FA/DO DOadd2
But there was one song he played I could really feel
