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…)

F/C Cadd2 Cadd2add4
Old Beale street is coming down
Bb/Eb
Sweetie’s snack bar boarded up know
Gm9
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
