 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 !
