Title: FOR FREE (Joni Mitchell)
1969
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 in 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 Em D
On his clairinet for free
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 limosuine and two gentlemen
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
G Fmaj7 Em
But the one man band by the quick lunch stand
Am C F C Em D
He was playing real good for free
G Fmaj7 Em
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 T.V.
Am C F C
So they passed his music by
Am G
I meant to go over and ask for a song
C G F Em D
Mayby put on a harmony
G Fmaj7 Em
I heard his refrain as the signal changed
Am C F C Em D
He was playing real good for free

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.
