I slept last night in a good hotel
Am C F CI went shopping today for jewels
G Fmaj7 EmThe wind rushed around in the dirty town
And the children let out from the schools
Am GI was standing on a noisy corner
C G F Em DWaiting for the walking green
Across the street he stood and he played real good
Am C F C Em DOn his clairinet for free
G Fmaj7 Em
Now me I play for fortune
Am C F CAnd those velvet curtain calls
I've got a black limosuine and two gentlemen
Am C F CEscorting me to the halls
Am GAnd I'll play If you have the money
Or if you're a friend to me
G Fmaj7 EmBut the one man band by the quick lunch stand
Am C F C Em DHe was playing real good for free
G Fmaj7 Em
Nobody stopped to hear him
Though he played so sweet and high
G Fmaj7 EmAnd they knew he had never been on their T.V.
Am C F CSo they passed his music by
I meant to go over and ask for a song
C G F Em DMayby put on a harmony
G Fmaj7 EmI heard his refrain as the signal changed
He was playing real good for free
