Baby Grand


Late at night when it's dark and cold
 -3  4    4    -3   4    -5   5    5

I reach out for someone to hold
-3  4    4  -5  -5* -5  -3  4 -3*

When I'm blue,     when I'm lonely
 3   -3* -3* 4 -5   -3   4   -5  5

She comes through
-3*  -5     -5

She's the only one who can
 6    -6  6 -6 -5   5 -5 5

My baby grand   is all I need
-5 -5 5  5 -3*   2  -2 3 -3 3


In my time I've wandered everywhere
-3  4  4    1   -3   4   -5 -3  4

Around this world, she would always be there
-3  -5  5     5    -5   -5*  -5  5  -3* -3*

Any    day,       any hour
-3* -3* -3* 4 -5  5 5 5 -5

All it takes      is the power in my hands
-5  -5 -5 -5*-5   6  -6  6 -5  6  -5 5 -5 6

This baby grand's been good to me
-5  -5 5   -3*     1    -2   3 -2


I've had friends, ah, but they've slipped away
 -3   4     4      4  -3    4    -5   5   5  3*

And I've had fame,  but it doesn't stay
-3   -5   5   5     -3  4  -5  5  -5* -5 4 -3*

I've made fortunes,     I spent fast enough
 3   -3*  4 -3* 4 -5    3  -3*   4    3* 4 -3*

But as for women   they don't last with just one man
-5 -5  -5 -5* -5     6   -6    7    -6  6 -5  6  5 -5

But my baby grand    is gonna stand by me
-5  -6 -5 5 -3* 4    1   2  2  -2   3  -2


They say that no one's gonna play this on the radio
 -3  -5   -5  -6  7    -6  6  -5   -3  3  -2  3 -3 -3

They said melancholy blues was dead and gone
 -3  -5  -6  7 -6  6  -5   -3    3  -2  3 -3 3 -2 -1 1

But only songs like these, played in minor keys
-2 -3* 4   -5   -6   -6      6    -6  7 -6  6

Keep those memories holding on
  5   -5   -5 5 -5  -5 -2  -3 3  -2 3 -3 -3 1


I've come far   from the life I strayed in
-3    4   4 -3   -3   4   -5 -5    5    5

And I've got the scars from those dives I played in
-3  -5    5  -3    4    -3    4    -5  -5*  -5   -5 5 -3*

Now I'm home        and I'm weary
 3  -3* 4 -3* 4 -5   3  -3* 4 4 -3*

And in my bones    every dreary one night stand
-5  -5 -5 -5* -5   6 -6  7 -6   6 -5  6   5 -5

Oh my baby grand
5 -6 -6 -5 -5 -3 3 -2 3 -2 -1 1

Is coming home with me, with me
 1  -1 -1  -2    3  -3    4   4 -3

And ever since this gig began
-3 -3* 4  -5    4   -3* 4 -3 3

My   baby  grand's
-3* -3* 4  -3 3  -3 3 -3 3 -1 1

Been good  to   me
 1  -1 -2 3 -2  3 3 -2  -6
