For Free

Byrds

 GFmaj7Em
 I slept last night in a good hotel
 AmCFC
I went shopping today for jewels
 GFmaj7Em
The wind rushed around  the dirty town
 AmCFC
And the children let out from the schools
 AmG
I was standing on a noisy corner
 CGFEmD
 Waiting for the walking green 
 GFmaj7Em
 Across the street he stood and he played real good
 AmCFC
On his clairinet for free

 GDFCGDFC
 GFmaj7Em
Now me I play for fortune
 AmCFC
And those velvet curtain calls
 GFmaj7Em
I've got a black limousine and two ladies
 AmCFC
Escorting me to the halls
 AmG
And I'll play If you have the money
 CGFEmD
Or if you're a friend to me-ee-ee
 GFmaj7Em
 But the one man band by the quick lunch stand
 AmCFC
He was playing real good for free

 GDFCGDFC
 GFmaj7Em
Well Nobody stopped to hear him
 AmCFC
Though he played so sweet and high
 GFmaj7Em
And they knew he had never been on their TV screen
 AmCFC
So they passed his music by 
 AmG
Well I meant to go over and ask for a song
 CGFEmD
Maybe put on a harmony    
 GFmaj7Em
 I heard his refrain as the signal changed
 AmCFCEm
He was  still playing real good for free
