| Verse : |
--------
| F/C | Cadd2 | Cadd2add4 | |
| Old Beale street is | coming down |
| Bb/Eb | |
| Sweetie's snack bar boarded up know |
| Gm9 | |
| And | there goes the tailor, and the shine boy's gone |
| Gm9 | |
| Faded out with rag time blues |
| F/C | Cadd2 | |
| Handy's cast in | bronze |
| Cadd2add4 | Bb/Eb | |
| And he's | standing in a little | park |
| Gm9 | |
| with his trumpet in his hand like he's | listening back |
| to the good old days, and the kick of high-heeled shoes |
| Cadd2 | |
| Furry sings | the blues |
| Bb/Eb | |
| Laughing, smoking, drinking he | 'll play for you |
| Gm9 | |
| It's mostly mutte | ring now, and side show spiel |
| Gm9 | F/C | Cadd2 | |
| But there was one song he played I could really | feel |
| Link to next verse : |
