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 ! Howard
