But this is from a David Crosby version from the "Alies" album. Typed from memory. Mea culpa if there's any errors. Phil- Real Good For Free Joni Mitchell intro: C G D G C D
	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 C D
	Waiting for the walking green

        G                    Fmaj7         Em
	Across the street he stood, and he played real good

               Am    C      F C
	On his clarinet for free

        G         Fmaj7     Em
	Now me, I play for fortunes

                Am     C        F C
	And the velvet curtain calls

                G          Fmaj7          Em
	I got a black limosine and a few gentlemen

          Am         C         F  C
	Escorting me to these halls

                 Am                   G
	And I'll play if you have the money

           C           G          F C 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
	They knew he had never been on their TV

                Am              C     F  C
	So they passed his good music by

          Am                   G
	I meant to go over and ask for a song

              C        G     F  C  D
	Maybe put on a harmony

        G           Fmaj7            Em
	I heard his refrain as that signal changed

             Am      C                     F  C  (Em D)
	He was still playing real good for free
