_ I slept _ [Bb] last night [Am] in the Fairmont Hotel. _
_ _ [Dm] I went shopping [Gm] _ [F] today for _ [Bb] _ _ jewels.
_ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
Wind [Bb] rushed around in the dirty [Am] town,
_ _ _ _ [Dm] And the children [Am] let [F] out _ [Bb] from the school.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I [Dm] was standing on a _ _ [G] _
_ [Dm] _ [C] noisy corner, _ _ _
I [F] was waiting [C] for the _ walking [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Am] green.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ Across the [Bb] street he stood, and [Am] he played real good _ _
_ [Dm] On his _ _ _ [F] clarinet _ _ [Bb] for free.
_ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ Now me, [Bb] I play [Am] for fortune, _ _
_ [Dm] And those _ [Am] velvet [F]
curtain _ [Bb] _ calls.
_ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I [C] got a _ black [Bb] _ _ limousine and [A] _ _
sixteen [G] [Am] gentle men
_ [Dm] _
Escorting [E] me [F] _ to these [Bb] _
halls.
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] And I play if you _ have _
_ _ [C] the money, _ _ _
_ [F] Or if you're some [C] kind of friend [Bb] to me.
_ [Am] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ But the one [Bb] man _ [Am] bent by the quicklime stand, _
[Dm] He was _ [G] playing _ [F] real good [Bb] for free.
_ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ Nobody [Bb] stopped to hear _
[G] him,
_ [Am] _ _ _ _
[Dm] Though he played _ [C] so [F] sweet and [Bb] high.
_ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ They knew he'd [Bb] never been on their _ [Am] TV, _ _
_ So [Dm] they passed his [Am] good [F] _ music [Bb] _ _ by. _
[F] _ _ _ _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] meant to go _ over to him and [C] ask for a song,
[D] _ [C] [F] Maybe put on some [C] kind of _ _ [Bb] harmony.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
I heard [Bb] his refrain _ [Am] as that signal changed,
He [Dm] was _ [C] playing [F] _ real _ [Bb] good for [F] free. _ _ _ _ _
