Standard (EADGBE)

  Late at night

  When it’s dark and cold

  I reach out

  For someone to hold

  When I’m blue

  When I’m lonely

  She comes through

  She’s the only one who can

  My baby grand

  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’ve slipped away

  I’ve had fame

  But it doesn’t stay

  I’ve made fortunes

  Spent them fast enough

  As for women

  They don’t last with just one man

  But baby grand

  Will stand by me

  Oh they say, no one’s gonna play this on the radio

  They said that melancholy blues were dead and gone

  But only songs like these, played in minor keys

  Keep those memories holding on

  I’ve come far

  From the life I’ve strayed in

  And I’ve got the scars

  From those dives I’ve played in

  Now I’m home

  And I’m weary

  And in my bones

  Every dreary one night stand

  But baby grand

  Came home with me

  Ever since this gig began

  My baby grand’s

  Been good to me
