[Verse 1]
[G]I s[F]lept last n[Em]ight in a good hotel
I went [Am]shopping [C]today for [F]jewels
[C]The[G] wind rushed around[F]
the [Em]dirty room
And the [Am]children let [C]out [F]from their schools
[C]

[Verse 2]
I was [Am]standing on a noisy [G]corner
[C]Waiting for the [G]walking [F]green[Em][D][G]
Across the street he [F]stood
[Em]And he played real good
On his [Am]clarinet, [C]for fre[F]e

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][D][F][C]

[Verse 3]
Now [G]me I [F]play for [Em]fortune
[Am]And those velvet [C]curtain [F]call[C]s
I've [G]got a black lim[F]ousine
And [Em]two ladies esc[Am]orting
me [C]to the [F]halls
[C]

[Verse 4]
[Am]And I play if you have [G]the money
Or [C]if you're [G]a friend to [F]me[Em][D]
But the [G]one man [F]band
By the [Em]quick lunch stand
He was [Am]playing real [C]good,
for [F]free

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][D][F][C][G][D][F][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]Nobody [F]stopped to hea[Em]r him
[Am]Though he played so [C]sweet and [F]high[C]
They [G]knew he had [F]never
Been on the [Em]TV screen

[Verse 6]
So they [Am]passed his [C]music [F]by[C]
I [Am]meant to go over and [G]ask for a song
Maybe [C]put on a [G]har[F] mo[Em]ny[D]
[G]I heard his refra[F]in

[Verse 7]
As the sig[Em]nal changed
He was [Am]still playing real [C]good, for [F]free
[C]
