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...)

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
