[B] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] When _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ Charlie speaks for [E] Lester, [Gbm] you know [A] someone great has gone.
[Gb] The [B] sweetest wind _ music man [Db] _ [Eb] had a porky pig hat on.
[Ab] A [Ebm] bright star [B] in a dark age, [F] when the band [Gb] stands [Bb] at a [C] thousand ways of [Gbm] refusing [D] a black _ [B] man's _ admission.
[E] _ Black _ _
[A] musicians, [Ab] _ [A] in those days they [Bb] put him [B] in an _ [Ebm] underdog _ position.
_ [B] _ They [E] put him in [Gbm] _
[A] cellars and [Bb] chitlins.
_ [Ebm] _ _
When [Eb] Lester took him away, [Db] _
Ivan Arm [Ebm] went black and white, _ [Ebm] _ and some saw red and [Bbm] drove them from their [Eb] hotel [A] bed.
_ _ _ [Ab] Love _ [Db] is never easy.
_ [B] _ It's short of [Bb] the [A] hope we have [Ebm] for happiness.
[Bb] _ _ Bright [Eb] and sweet, love [Ab] is never easy [Bbm] street.
_ _ Now we [Fm] are black and white, embracing out in the [Gb]
lunatic New [B] York night.
[Bb] It's very unlikely [Eb] we'll be driven out of town, _ _ _ _ [Ebm] or _ behind [Bm] a tree. [E] That's unlikely.
[Eb] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] These [Cm] _ _ [F]
crowds [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ [F] are happy _ [Bb] _ _ [Db] and [Cm] loud.
[B] _
_ [Bb] _ [Db] Children are up dancing in [Abm] the streets. _
[Db] _ _ In the sticky middle [B] of the night, some [D] _
[Gbm] mercy related taxi horns and [Eb] parkies. _
We're right or wrong, under neon.
_ Every [B] feeling goes [Bb] on.
[Gb] For you [C]
and me, [F] the sidewalk is a history book.
[Gb] It's [Dbm] a circus, [B] _ [Bb] dangerous [Db] clouds, [Eb] balancing [Db] dreadful and wonderful [Eb] perceptions.
They have been handed day by [B] day, _ generations [Bb] on down.
[Eb] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [E] _
_ [Gbm] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _

[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [B] He came up from the subway, [Ab] _ [B] on the [A] music that life [B] makes.
_ _ [Ab] Charlie's [Bb] Bees and [Eb]
Lester's [C] saxophone, [Db] in [Eb] taxi horns and brakes.
_ [Abm] Now [B] _ _
Charlie's down in Mexico, [Eb] _ with the _ [Bb] _
healers.
So the sidewalk [C] leads us with [Gb] music [F] to _ little [B] dancers. _ _
[E] _ _ They're dancing [A] outside this [Gb] crowded black bar.
[Ab] _ _ Down on me [B] we look up [Bb] and there's a sign up [Db] on the awning.
[Ab] It says, [Gb] _
[Abm] Hawkeye [B] Hat Bar.
_ _ [E] _
_ [Gbm] And there were two brave little musicians [A] dancing there.
_ [Bm] _ _
Two.
