C A# Am I slept last night in a good hotel Dm F A# F I went shopping today for jewels C A# Am The wind rushed around in the dirty town Dm F A# F And the children let out from the schools Dm C I was standing on a noisy corner F C A# Am G Waiting for the walking green C A# Am Across the street he stood and he played real good Dm F A# F Am G On his clarinet for free Now me, I play for fortunes And those velvet curtain calls I've got a black Limousine and two gentlemen Who escort me through these halls And I'll play if you've got the money Or if you're a friend to me But the one-man band by the quick lunch stand He's been playin' real good for free Nobody stopped to hear him Though he played so sweet and high They knew he had never been on the TV So they passed his music by I meant to go over and ask for a song Maybe put on a harmony I heard his refrain as the signal changed He was playin' real good for free | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsAm A# C Dm F G |
