               Bb7-Bm7  Bbm7  F/A  Abm7 
            Gm7, Bb/C  
 
                F             
            Late at night 
           Eaug 
            When it?s dark and cold 
         Cm/Eb         
            I reach out 
        D7  C/E     D/F#     D 
            For someone to hold 
 
              Gm 
            When I?m blue 
             D/F# 
            When I?m lonely 
            Gm/F     
            She comes through 
             E7       E7/Ab          Am7 
            She?s the only one who can 
             D7           Gm7   
            My baby grand 
              C7     Aaug   D7  Gm7  C7  
            Is all I need 
 
                F             
            In my time 
           Eaug 
            I?ve wandered everywhere 
         Cm/Eb         
            Around this world 
        D7  C/E      D/F#    D   Gm 
            She would always be there 
 
              Gm 
            Any day 
             D/F# 
            Any hour 
            Gm/F     
            All it takes  
             E7        E7/Ab    Am7 
            Is the power in my hands 
             D7          Gm7   
            This baby grand?s 
              C7           F   D7  Gm7  C7  
            Been good to me 
 
                F             
            I?ve had friends 
           Eaug 
            But they?ve slipped away 
         Cm/Eb         
            I?ve had fame 
        D7  C/E     D/F#      D 
            But it doesn?t stay      
 
              Gm 
            I?ve made fortunes 
             D/F# 
            Spent them fast enough 
            Gm/F     
            As for women 
             E7                E7/Ab    Am7 
            They don?t last with just one man 
             D7              Gm7   
            But baby grand  
              C7            F      Bbm7  
            Will stand by me 
 
       F   Em7 A7      Dm                     Em7     A7 
            Oh they say, no one?s gonna play this on the radio 
             Dm                            Gm7  F7 
            They said that melancholy blues were dead and gone 
              Bb                 Bm7      E7     
            But only songs like these, played in minor keys 
            Am7           Ab7           Gm7   C7 
            Keep those memories holding on 
 
                F             
            I?ve come far 
           Eaug 
            From the life I?ve strayed in 
           Cm/Eb         
            And I?ve got the scars 
            D7  C/E          D/F#      D 
            From those dives I?ve played in 
 
              Gm 
            Now I?m home 
             D/F# 
            And I?m weary 
            Gm/F     
            And in my bones 
               E7      E7/Ab      Am7 
            Every dreary one night stand 
             D7             Gm7   
            But baby grand 
              C7            A7       D7 
            Came home with me 
 
                           C/E     D/F#  Gm7 
            Ever since this gig began 
                            C7 
            My baby grand?s 
                          Bm7  Bb7  F/A  Ab7  Gm7  F#  F 
            Been good to me
