Joni Mitchell – For Free (Guitar)

  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 clarinet 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 limousine 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 TV

        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
Maybe 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
