Poor, Poor Pitiful Me Linda Ronstadt
Poor, Poor Pitiful Me
By Warren Zevon
Linda Ronstadt version
The riff just repeats, very simple:
Riff: F# C# Ab C# / F# C# Ab 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[Ab]itiful me[C#]
[F#]Poor, p[C#]oor, p[Ab]itiful me[C#]
[F#]Oh these boy[C#]s won't let m[Ab]e be[C#]
[F#]Lord have mercy on[Ab] me
[Ab]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[Ab]itiful me[C#]
[F#]Poor, p[C#]oor, p[Ab]itiful me[C#]
[F#]Oh these boy[C#]s won't let m[Ab]e be[C#]
[F#]Lord have mercy on[Ab] me
[Ab]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 â??please donâ??t hurt me mamaâ??
Chorus
[F#]Poor, p[C#]oor, p[Ab]itiful me[C#]
[F#]Poor, p[C#]oor, p[Ab]itiful me[C#]
[F#]Oh these boy[C#]s won't let m[Ab]e be[C#]
[F#]Lord have mercy on[Ab] me
[Ab]Woe is me
Poor, poor, poor me, poor poor pitiful me (repeat solo out)
