Verse
F/C Cadd2 Cadd2add4
Old Beale street is coming down
Sweetie's snack bar boarded up know
And there goes the tailor, and the shine boy's gone
Faded out with rag time blues
Handy's cast in bronze
Cadd2add4 /
And he's standing in a little park
with his trumpet in his hand like he's listening back
to the good old days, and the kick of high-heeled shoes
Furry sings the blues
Laughing, smoking, drinking he'll play for you
It's mostly muttering now, and side show spiel
But there was one song he played I could really feel
Link to next verse :
Then on to verse 2
Structure is the same all the way through.
Song ends with repeated pattern of Cadd2 and Cadd2add4
Enjoy !
