#Poor, Poor Pitiful Me
#By Warren Zevon
#
#Linda Ronstadt version
#
#The riff just repeats, very simple:
#
#Riff: F# C# G# C# / F# C# G# C#
#
#Well I lay my head on the railroad tracks
#Waiting on the double E
#But the train don't run by here no more
#Poor, poor pitiful me
#
#Chorus
[F#]Poor, p[C#]oor, p[G#]itiful me[C#]
[F#]Poor, p[C#]oor, p[G#]itiful me[C#]
[F#]Oh these boy[C#]s won't let m[G#]e be[C#]
[F#]Lord have mercy on[G#] me
[G#]Woe is me
(4 bar solo)
Well I met a man out in Hollywood
Now I ain't namin' names
Well he really worked me over good
Just like Jesse James
Yes he really worked me over good
He was a credit to his gender
Put me through some changes, lord
Sort of like a Waring blender
Chorus
[F#]Poor, p[C#]oor, p[G#]itiful me[C#]
[F#]Poor, p[C#]oor, p[G#]itiful me[C#]
[F#]Oh these boy[C#]s won't let m[G#]e be[C#]
[F#]Lord have mercy on[G#] me
[G#]Woe is me
Solo (8 bars)
Well I met a boy in Vieux Carres
Down in Yokohama
He picked me up and threw me down
He said please dont hurt me mama
Chorus
[F#]Poor, p[C#]oor, p[G#]itiful me[C#]
[F#]Poor, p[C#]oor, p[G#]itiful me[C#]
[F#]Oh these boy[C#]s won't let m[G#]e be[C#]
[F#]Lord have mercy on[G#] me
[G#]Woe is me
Poor, poor, poor me, poor poor pitiful me (repeat solo out)
