This is normally a piano song, at least it was when Joni originally
did it on an early album.  But this is from a David Crosby version
from the "Alies" album.  Typed from memory. Mea culpa if there's any

The wind rushed around in the dirty town

And the children let out from the schools

I was standing on a noisy corner

Waiting for the walking green

Across the street he stood, and he played real good

On his clarinet for free

And the velvet curtain calls

I got a black limosine and a few gentlemen

Escorting me to these halls

Though he played so sweet and high

           Fmaj7Fmaj7 Piano Chord

They knew he had never been on their TV
AmAm Piano Chord 
              CC Piano Chord

So they passed his good music by
AmAm Piano Chord

Maybe put on a harmony
GG Piano Chord 
           Fmaj7Fmaj7 Piano Chord
