You only need to know about 7 or 8 shapes to play this, so I'll

start of by giving the shapes, then I'll write the chord names above

the words so you know where the changes come.

Tuning (low to high) : C G D F Bb D

(For the shapes below I'll write 'B' for Bb, for obvious reasons...)

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
