My baby grand
C7       A D7 Gm7 C7
is all I need

In my time, I've wandered everywhere
Around this world, she would always be there
Any day, any hour
All it takes is the power in my hands
This baby grand's been good to me

I've had friends, but they slipped away
And I've had fame, but it doesn't stay
I've made fortunes, I spent them fast enough
But as for women, they don't lust with just one man
But my baby grand is gonna stand by me

         Dm                            Em7        A7
Oh they say, no one's gonna play this on the radio
     Dm
They said that melancholy blues were dead and
 Gm7 F7
gone
A#                           Bm7      E7
But only songs like these, played in minor keys
Am7         G#7            Gm7 C7
Keep those memories holding on

I've come far from the life I strayed in
And I've got the scars from those dives I played in
Now I'm home, and I'm weary
And in my bones, every dreary one night stand
My baby grand is coming home with me
With me

But ever since this gig began
My baby grand's been good to me
