(Verse 1)
C Bb Am
I slept last night in a good hotel
Dm F Bb F
I went shopping today for jewels
C Bb Am
The wind rushed around in the dirty town
Dm F Bb F
And the children let out from the schools
Dm C
I was standing on a noisy corner
F C Bb Am G
Waiting for the walking green
C Bb Am
Across the street he stood and he played real good
Dm F Bb F Am G
On his clarinet for free
(Verse 2)
C Bb Am
Now me I play for fortunes
Dm F Bb F
And those velvet curtain calls
C Bb Am
I got a black limousine and two gentlemen
Dm F Bb F
Who escort me through these halls
Dm C
But I'll play if you got the money
F C Bb Am G
Or if you're a friend to me
C Bb Am
The one man band by the quick lunch stand
Dm F Bb F Am G
He was playing real good for free
(Verse 3)
C Bb Am
Nobody stopped to hеar him
Dm F Bb F
Though he played so sweet and high
C Bb Am
They knеw he had never been on their TV
Dm F Bb F
So they passed his music by
Dm C
I meant to go over and ask for a song
F C Bb Am G
Maybe put on a harmony
C Bb Am
I heard his refrain as the signal changed
Dm F Bb F Am G C
He was playing real good for free
I slept last night in a good hotel
I went shopping today for jewels
The wind rushed around in the dirty town
And the children let out from their school
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
Now me, I play for fortunes
And those velvet curtain calls
I've got a black Limousine and two gentlemen
Who escort me through these halls
And I'll play if you've got the money
Or if you're a friend to me
But the one-man band by the quick lunch stand
He's been playing real good for free
Nobody stopped to hear him
Though he played so sweet and high
They knew he had never been on the TV
So they passed his music by
I meant to go over and ask for a song
Maybe put on a harmony
I heard his refrain as the signal changed
He was playing real good for free
