BEALE STREET BLUES
By: W. C. Handy
Lena Horne, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong
Key: Bb
-7* -6 -6* 7 -6* 77* 7 -5 -6
I've seen the lights of gay Broad-way,
-7* -6* 7 -7* -6* 7 -7* 7 -5* -7*
Old Mar-ket Street down by the Fris-co Bay,
-5 -5* -6 -6 -6
I've strolled the Pra-do,
-6 7 -7 7 -6 -7*
I've gam-bled on the Bourse;
-7* -6 -6* 7 -6* 7 7* 7 -5 -6
The sev-en won-ders of the world I've seen,
-7* -6* 7 -7* -6* 7 -7* 7 -5* -7*
And man-y are the pla-ces I have been,
-5 -5* 6 -6 -6
Take my ad-vice, folks,
-6 7-7 7 -6 -7*
and see Beale Street first!
-9 -9 -7* 7 -7* -10 -9 -7* -7* -7*
You'll see pret-ty browns in beau-ti-ful gowns,
-7* -7* -7* -7* -7 7 8 8 8
You'll see tail-or-mades and hand-me-downs,
8* -9 -7* 7 -7*
You'll meet hon-est men,
-10 -10 -9* 7 -7*
and pick-pock-ets skilled,
-7* 8 8* -9 -7* 8 8* -9 -7*
You'll find that bus-�ness nev-er clos-es
8 8* -9 -7* 7 -7*
'til some-bod-y gets killed!
-9 -9 -7* 7 -7*
If Beale Street could talk,
-10 -9 -7* 7 -7*
if Beale Street could talk,
-7* -7* -7* -7* -7 -7
Mar-ried men would have to
7 -7 8 8 8
take their beds and walk,
8* -9 -7* 7 -7* -10 -10 -9* 7 -7*
Ex-cept one or two who nev-er drank booze,
8 8* -9 -7* 8 8* -9 -7*
And the blind man on the cor-ner
-10 -9 -7* 7 -6 -7*
Who sings the Beale Street Blues!
Key: Eb
-7* -7* -7* -7* -7* -6*-6*-6* -6* -6 -5*
I'd rath-er be here than an-y place I know,
-7* -7* -7* -7* 7* -5* -6-5* -6* -6 -5*
I'd rath-er be here than an-y place I know,
-3* 5 5* -5 -7* 7* 7*
It's goin� to take the ser-geant
-6* -6* -6* -6 -5*
for to make me go!
-7* -7* -7* -7* -7* -6*-6* -6* -6 -5*
Goin' to the riv-er, may-be by and bye,
-7* -7* -7* -7* 7*
Goin� to the riv-er,
-5* -6 -5*-6* -6 -5*
And there�s a rea-son why
-3* 5 5* -7* -7* 7*
Be-cause the riv-er's wet,
-6* -6* 7 7 -6 -5*
and Beale Street's done gone dry!
