Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I slept las[F]t nig[Em]ht in a good hotel
[Am]I went shopping to[C]day for je[F]wels[C]
[G]The wind rushed aro[F]und
the [Em]dirty town
[Am]And the children let [C]out
from their [F]schools
[C]

[Verse 2]
I was [Am]standing on [C]a noisy [G]corner
I was [C]waitin' for the [G]walking
[F]green[Em][D][Dsus4][D]
[G]Across the street he [F]stood
[Em]And he played real good
[Am]He was playin' real [C]good, for [F]free
[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]
Me, [F]I play for [Em]fortune
[Am]And those velvet curtain[C] calls[F][C]
I got [G]a black limo[F]usine and about
thirty- seven [Em]criminals
Es[Am]corting me [C]to these [F]halls
[C]

[Verse 4]
[Am]And I'll play if [C]you have some [G]money
Or [C]if you're a [G]friend [F]to me[Em][D][Dsus4]
[D]But[G] that one- man[F] band by
the [Em]quick lunch stand
He was [Am]just playin' real [C]good,
for [F]free
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
Nobody, [F]I say nobody,
nobody [Em]stopped to hear him
[Am]Though he played so swee[C]t
and [F]high[C][Dsus4][C]
[G]They knew,
they had never [F]seen him [Em]on their TV screen
So [Am]they passed his [C]music [F]by
[C]

[Verse 6]
Me, I [Am]meant to go [C]over,
[G]ask for a song
[C]Maybe put [G]on a [F]har[Em]mony[D]
[G]I heard his ref[F]rain as the
[Em]sig nal changed
He was [Am]still playin' real [C]good,
