I slept last night in a good hotel
AmAm Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 
        FF Piano Chord 
 CC Piano Chord 

I went shopping today for jewels
GG Piano Chord 
           Fmaj7Fmaj7 Piano Chord 
        EmEm Piano Chord 

The wind rushed around  the dirty town
AmAm Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 
             FF Piano Chord 
 CC Piano Chord 

And the children let out from the schools
AmAm Piano Chord 
                  GG Piano Chord 

I was standing on a noisy corner
CC Piano Chord 
               GG Piano Chord 
       FF Piano Chord 
 EmEm Piano Chord 
 DD Piano Chord 

Waiting for the walking green
GG Piano Chord 
                    Fmaj7Fmaj7 Piano Chord 
        EmEm Piano Chord 

Across the street he stood and he played real good
AmAm Piano Chord 
    CC Piano Chord 
       FF Piano Chord 
  CC Piano Chord 

On his clairinet for free

GG Piano Chord 
 DD Piano Chord 
 FF Piano Chord 
 CC Piano Chord 
   GG Piano Chord 
 DD Piano Chord 
 FF Piano Chord 
 CC Piano Chord 


GG Piano Chord 
    Fmaj7Fmaj7 Piano Chord 
    EmEm Piano Chord 

Now me I play for fortune
AmAm Piano Chord 
     CC Piano Chord 
       FF Piano Chord 
  CC Piano Chord 

And those velvet curtain calls
GG Piano Chord 
         Fmaj7Fmaj7 Piano Chord 
     EmEm Piano Chord 

I've got a black limousine and two ladies
AmAm Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 
      FF Piano Chord 
 CC Piano Chord 

Escorting me to the halls
AmAm Piano Chord 
                   GG Piano Chord 

And I'll play If you have the money
CC Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 
         FF Piano Chord 
 EmEm Piano Chord 
 DD Piano Chord 

Or if you're a friend to me-ee-ee
GG Piano Chord 
               Fmaj7Fmaj7 Piano Chord 
       EmEm Piano Chord 

But the one man band by the quick lunch stand
AmAm Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 
        FF Piano Chord 
 CC Piano Chord 

He was playing real good for free

      EmEm Piano Chord 

Well Nobody stopped to hear him
AmAm Piano Chord 
        CC Piano Chord 
         FF Piano Chord 
 CC Piano Chord 

Though he played so sweet and high
GG Piano Chord 
           Fmaj7Fmaj7 Piano Chord 
               EmEm Piano Chord 

And they knew he had never been on their TV screen
AmAm Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 
     FF Piano Chord 
 CC Piano Chord 

So they passed his music by
AmAm Piano Chord 
                   GG Piano Chord 

Well I meant to go over and ask for a song
CC Piano Chord 
        GG Piano Chord 
    FF Piano Chord 
 EmEm Piano Chord 
 DD Piano Chord 

Maybe put on a harmony
GG Piano Chord 
           Fmaj7Fmaj7 Piano Chord 
          EmEm Piano Chord 

I heard his refrain as the signal changed
AmAm Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 
        FF Piano Chord 
 CC Piano Chord 
  EmEm Piano Chord 

He was  still playing real good for free
