Joni Mitchell - For Free Chords

[Intro]
F       C        G         
C       F        C

[Verse 1]
  C          Bb         Am
I slept last night in a good hotel
       Dm         F       Bb  F
I went shopping today for jewels
C                Bb               Am
The wind rushed around in the dirty town
        Dm           F            Bb   F
And the children let out from the schools

[Chorus 1]
      Dm               C
I was standing on a noisy corner
F               C       Bb Am G
Waiting for the walking green
C                    Bb
Across the street he stood
       Am
And he played real good
       Dm   F      Bb   F    
On his clarinet, for free
Am          G

[Verse 2]
 C       Bb      Am
Now me I play for fortunes
          Dm   F        Bb  F 
And those velvet curtain calls
           C          Bb
I've got a black limousine
    Am
And two gentlemen
 Dm          F     Bb  F
Escorting me to the halls

[Chorus 2]
      Dm              C
And I play if you have the money
  F            C       Bb Am G
Or if you're a friend to me
C               Bb
But the one man band
   Am
By the quick lunch stand
       Dm          F    Bb      F            
He was playing real good, for free
Am             G

[Verse 3]
C      Bb         Am
Nobody stopped to hear him
          Dm        F         Bb F
Though he played so sweet and high
     C          Bb
They knew he had never
       Am
Been on their tV.
        Dm        F    Bb F
So they passed his music by
  Dm                   C
I meant to go over and ask for a song
      F       C   Bb Am G
Maybe put on a harmony
  C         Bb   
I heard his refrain
 Am
As the signal changed
       Dm      F        Bb   F  Am  G
He was playing real good, for free
