I   slept

Em 
last night in a good hotel
Am 
C 
F 
C 
I was shopping today for June
G 
F 
Em 
The wind rushed around this dirty town
Am 
C 
F 
C 
And the children let out from their school
Am 
G 
I was standing on a noisy corner
C 
G 
F 
Em 
D 
Waiting for the walking green
G 
F 
Across the street he stood,
Em 
and he played real good,
Am 
C 
F 
C 
Em 
Dsus4 
on his clarinet for free.

Now me, I play for fortune
Am 
C 
F

And these velvet curtain calls
G

I got a black limousine and
Em 
the finest lady
Am 
C 
F 
C 
Escorting me to these halls
Am 
F 
G 
And I'll play if you have some money
C 
G 
F 
Em 
D 
Or if you're a friend to me
G 
F 
But that one man there,
Em 
by the quick lunch stand,
Am 
C 
he was just playing real good
F 
C 
Em 
Dsus4 
for free.
D 
G 
Now nobody,
F 
Em 
nobody stopped to hear him
Am 
Though he played so
C 
F 
C 
sweet and so high
G 
F 
They knew he'd nev
Em 
er been on the TV  screen,
Am 
G 
C 
F 
C 
so they passed his music by.
Am 
F 
G 
I meant to go over and ask for a song,
C 
G 
maybe put on a harmony.
F 
Em 
D 
Dsus4 
D 
I
G 
F 
could still hear his refrain
Em 
as the signal changed.
Am 
C 
F 
He was just playing real good for free
C
