The Byrds For Free written by Joni Mitchell

G Fmaj7 Em

I slept last night in a good hotel

Am C F C

I went shopping today for jewels

G Fmaj7 Em

The wind rushed around the dirty town

Am C F C

And the children let out from the schools

Am G

I was standing on a noisy corner

C G F Em D

Waiting for the walking green

G Fmaj7 Em

Across the street he stood and he played real good

Am C F C

On his clairinet for free

G D F C G D F C

G Fmaj7 Em

Now me I play for fortune

Am C F C

And those velvet curtain calls

G Fmaj7 Em

I've got a black limousine and two ladies

Am C F C

Escorting me to the halls

Am G

And I'll play If you have the money

C G F Em D

Or if you're a friend to me-ee-ee

G Fmaj7 Em

But the one man band by the quick lunch stand

Am C F C

He was playing real good for free

G D F C G D F C

G Fmaj7 Em

Well Nobody stopped to hear him

Am C F C

Though he played so sweet and high

G Fmaj7 Em

And they knew he had never been on their TV screen

Am C F C

So they passed his music by

Am G

Well I meant to go over and ask for a song

C G F Em D

Maybe put on a harmony

G Fmaj7 Em

I heard his refrain as the signal changed

Am C F C Em

He was still playing real good for free
