Verse :
F/C Cadd2 Cadd2add4
Old Beale street is coming down
Bb/Eb
Sweetie's snack bar boarded up know
Gm9
And there goes the tailor, and the shine boy's gone
Gm9
Faded out with rag time blues
F/C Cadd2
Handy's cast in bronze
Cadd2add4 Bb/Eb
And he's standing in a little park
Gm9
with his trumpet in his hand like he's listening back
to the good old days, and the kick of high-heeled shoes
Cadd2
Furry sings the blues
Bb/Eb
Laughing, smoking, drinking he'll play for you
Gm9
It's mostly muttering now, and side show spiel
Gm9 F/C Cadd2
But there was one song he played I could really feel
