I slept last night in a good hotel
I went shopping today for jewels
G Fmaj7 EmThe wind rushed around in the dirty town
Am C F CAnd the children let out from the schools
I was standing on a noisy corner
C G F C DWaiting for the walking green
G Fmaj7 EmAcross the street he stood, and he played real good
On his clarinet for free
Now me, I play for fortunes
Am C F CAnd the velvet curtain calls
G Fmaj7 EmI got a black limosine and a few gentlemen
Escorting me to these halls
Am GAnd I'll play if you have the money
C G F C DOr if you're a friend to me
But the one-man-band by the quick lunch stand
Am C F C (Em D)He was playing real good for free
G Fmaj7 Em
Nobody stopped to hear him
Am C F CThough he played so sweet and high
They knew he had never been on their TV
Am C F CSo they passed his good music by
Am GI meant to go over and ask for a song
Maybe put on a harmony
G Fmaj7 EmI heard his refrain as that signal changed
Am C F C (Em D)He was still playing real good for free
