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...)
[CGDFBD]33xxxx [CGDFBD]55xxxx [CGDFBD]777000 [CGDFBD]0x7777 [CGDFBD]002220
[Eb5] [F5] [Gm9] [F/C] [Cadd2]
[CGDFBD]002020 [CGDFBD]333000
[Cadd2add4] [Bb/Eb]
Intro :
[Eb5] [F5] [Gm9]
[Eb5] [F5] [F/C]
[Cadd2] [Cadd2add4] [Cadd2] [Cadd2add4]
Verse :
[F/C]Old Beale street is [Cadd2]coming down[Cadd2add4]
[Bb/Eb]Sweetie's snack bar boarded up know
And[Gm9] there goes the tailor, and the shine boy's gone
[Gm9]Faded out with rag time blues
[F/C]Handy's cast in [Cadd2]bronze
And he's[Cadd2add4] standing in a little [Bb/Eb]park
with his trumpet in his hand like he's [Gm9]listening back
to the good old days, and the kick of high-heeled shoes
Furry sings [Cadd2]the blues
Laughing, smoking, drinking he[Bb/Eb]'ll play for you
It's mostly mutte[Gm9]ring now, and side show spiel
[Gm9]But there was one song he played I could really [F/C]feel[Cadd2]
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
