For Free Joni Mitchell
[Intro]
[F] [C] [G]
[C] [F] [C]
[Verse 1]
I [C]slept last [Bb]night in a [Am]good hotel
I went [Dm]shopping to[F]day for [Bb]jewe[F]ls
[C]The wind rushed a[Bb]round in the dirt[Am]y town
And the [Dm]children let [F]out from the [Bb]schoo[F]ls
[Cborus 1]
I was [Dm]standing on a noi[C]sy corner
[F]Waiting for the [C]walking [Bb]gre[Am]en[G]
[C]Across the street he [Bb]stood
And he [Am]played real good
On his [Dm]clari[F]net, fo[Bb]r fre[F]e
[Am] [G]
[Verse 2]
N[C]ow me I [Bb]play for[Am] fortunes
And those [Dm]velve[F]t curtain[Bb] cal[F]ls
I've got a [C]black limou[Bb]sine
And [Am]two gentlemen
E[Dm]scorting me [F]to the[Bb] hal[F]ls
[Cborus 2]
And I [Dm]play if you have[C] the money
Or[F] if you're a [C]friend t[Bb]o m[Am]e[G]
[C]But the one man [Bb]band
By [Am]the quick lunch stand
He was [Dm]playing real[F] good[Bb], for fr[F]ee
[Am] [G]
[Verse 3]
[C]Nobody [Bb]stopped to [Am]hear him
Though he [Dm]played so [F]sweet and [Bb]hig[F]h
They [C]knew he had[Bb] never
Been on[Am] their tV.
So they [Dm]passed his[F] musi[Bb]c b[F]y
I [Dm]meant to go over and [C]ask for a song
Maybe [F]put on a[C] har[Bb]mon[Am]y[G]
I [C]heard his [Bb]refrain
A[Am]s the signal changed
He was [Dm]playing [F]real good[Bb], for[F] fr[Am]ee [G]
