I slept last night in a good hotel
Am C F CI went shopping today for jewels
G Fmaj7 EmThe wind rushed around 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 COn his clairinet for free
G D F C G D F C
G Fmaj7 Em
Now me I play for fortune
And those velvet curtain calls
G Fmaj7 EmI've got a black limousine and two ladies
Am C F CEscorting me to the halls
And I'll play If you have the money
C G F Em DOr if you're a friend to me-ee-ee
G Fmaj7 EmBut the one man band by the quick lunch stand
He was playing real good for free
G Fmaj7 Em
Well Nobody stopped to hear him
Am C F CThough he played so sweet and high
And they knew he had never been on their TV screen
Am C F CSo they passed his music by
Am GWell I meant to go over and ask for a song
Maybe put on a harmony
G Fmaj7 EmI heard his refrain as the signal changed
Am C F C EmHe was still playing real good for free
