For Free written by Joni Mitchell
[Verse 1]
G F Em I slept last night in a good hotel Am C F C Csus2 I went shopping today for jewels G F Em The wind rushed around the dirty town Am C F C Csus2 And the children let out from the schools
[Chorus]
Am G Gsus4 G I was standing on a noisy corner Gsus4 G C G F Em D Dsus4 D Waiting for the walking gre-e-en G F Em Across the street he stood and he played real good Am C F C Csus2 On his clairinet for free
[Bridge]
G D F C
[Verse 2]
G F Em Now me I play for fortune Am C F C Csus2 And those velvet curtain calls G F Em I've got a black limousine and two ladies Am C F C Csus2 Escorting me to the halls
[Chorus]
Am G Gsus4 G And I'll play If you have the money Gsus4 G C G F Em D Dsus4 D Or if you're a friend to me-ee-ee G F Em But the one man band by the quick lunch stand Am C F C Csus2 He was playing real good for free
[Bridge]
G D F C x2
[Verse 3]
G F Em Well Nobody stopped to hear him Am C F C Csus2 Though he played so sweet and high G F Em And they knew he had never been on their TV screen Am C F C Csus2 So they passed his music by
[Chorus]
Am G Gsus4 G Well I meant to go over and ask for a song Gsus4 G C G F Em D Dsus4 D Maybe put on a harmony-y-y G F Em I heard his refrain as the signal changed Am C F C Csus2 He was still playing real good for free
[Ending]
