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...)

Old Beale street is coming down

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
