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...)

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 muttering now, and side show spiel

Gm9 F/C Cadd2

But there was one song he played I could really feel

Link to next verse :

Eb5 F5 Gm9

Eb5 F5

Then on to verse 2

Structure is the same all the way through.

Song ends with repeated pattern of Cadd2 and Cadd2add4

Enjoy !
