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 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 MIm 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 clairinet for free
SOL RE FA DO SOL RE FA DO
SOL FAmaj7 MIm
Now me I play for fortune
LAm DO FA DO
And those velvet curtain calls
SOL FAmaj7 MIm
I've got a black limousine and two ladies
LAm DO FA DO
Escorting me to the halls
LAm SOL
And I'll play If you have the money
DO SOL FA MIm RE
Or if you're a friend to me-ee-ee
SOL FAmaj7 MIm
But the one man band by the quick lunch stand
LAm DO FA DO
He was playing real good for free
SOL RE FA DO SOL RE FA DO
SOL FAmaj7 MIm
Well Nobody stopped to hear him
LAm DO FA DO
Though he played so sweet and high
SOL FAmaj7 MIm
And they knew he had never been on their TV screen
LAm DO FA DO
So they passed his music by
LAm SOL
Well I meant to go over and ask for a song
DO SOL FA MIm RE
Maybe put on a harmony
SOL FAmaj7 MIm
I heard his refrain as the signal changed
LAm DO FA DO MIm
He was still playing real good for free
