                I slept last night in a good hotel
                       Am         C        F C
                I went shopping today for jewels
                    G            Fmaj7        Em
                The wind rushed around in the dirty town

                And the children let out from the schools
                      Am                  G
                I was standing on a noisy corner
                C               G       F Em D
                Waiting for the walking green

                Across the street he stood and he played real good
                       Am    C       F C Em D
                On his clairinet for free
                    G    Fmaj7    Em
                Now me I play for fortune
                          Am     C       F C
                And those velvet curtain calls
                           G         Fmaj7     Em
                I've got a black limosuine and two gentlemen
                  Am         C      F C
                Escorting me to the halls
                         Am                   G
                And I'll play If you have the money
                   C           G         F Em D
                Or if you're a friend to me
                G               Fmaj7       Em
                But the one man band by the quick lunch stand
                       Am           C        F C Em D
                He was playing real good for free
                G      Fmaj7      Em
                Nobody stopped to hear him
                          Am        C         F C
                Though he played so sweet and high
                         G           Fmaj7      Em
                And they knew he had never been on their T.V.
                        Am         C     F C
                So they passed his music by
                  Am                   G
                I meant to go over and ask for a song
                      C        G     F Em D
                Mayby put on a harmony
                  G             Fmaj7      Em
                I heard his refrain as the signal changed
                       Am           C        F C Em D
                He was playing real good for free
