to hear the jazz go down

 SIb          LA

around in the corner
REm                               DO

  drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies
    SIb            LA

          DO
about any trumpet playing band
SIb

right up to the microphone
REm           DO

  and says at last just
       SIb       LA    LA7

as the time bell rings

SIb
  and he makes it fast
              REm   SIb   DO

with one more thing
