intro DO SOL RE SOL DO RE
SOL FAmaj7 MIm
I slept last night in a good hotel
LAm DO FA DO
I went shopping today for jewels
SOL FAmaj7 MIm
The wind rushed around in the dirty town
LAm DO FA DO
And the children let out from the schools
LAm SOL
I was standing on a noisy corner
DO SOL FA DO RE
Waiting for the walking green
SOL FAmaj7 MIm
Across the street he stood, and he played real good
LAm DO FA DO
On his clarinet for free
SOL FAmaj7 MIm
Now me, I play for fortunes
LAm DO FA DO
And the velvet curtain calls
SOL FAmaj7 MIm
I got a black limosine and a few gentlemen
LAm DO FA DO
Escorting me to these halls
LAm SOL
And I'll play if you have the money
DO SOL FA DO RE
Or if you're a friend to me
SOL FAmaj7 MIm
But the one-man-band by the quick lunch stand
LAm DO FA DO (Em RE)
He was playing real good for free
SOL FAmaj7 MIm
Nobody stopped to hear him
LAm DO FA DO
Though he played so sweet and high
SOL FAmaj7 MIm
They knew he had never been on their TV
LAm DO FA DO
So they passed his good music by
LAm SOL
I meant to go over and ask for a song
DO SOL FA DO RE
Maybe put on a harmony
SOL FAmaj7 MIm
I heard his refrain as that signal changed
LAm DO FA DO (Em RE)
He was still playing real good for free
