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# C# Ab C#
Poor, poor, pitiful me
F# C# Ab C#
Poor, poor, pitiful me
F# C# Ab C#
Oh these boys won't let me be
F# Ab
Lord have mercy on 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# C# Ab C#
Poor, poor, pitiful me
F# C# Ab C#
Poor, poor, pitiful me
F# C# Ab C#
Oh these boys won't let me be
F# Ab
Lord have mercy on 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 “please don’t hurt me mama”
Chorus
F# C# Ab C#
Poor, poor, pitiful me
F# C# Ab C#
Poor, poor, pitiful me
F# C# Ab C#
Oh these boys won't let me be
F# Ab
Lord have mercy on me
Ab
Woe is me
Poor, poor, poor me, poor poor pitiful me (repeat solo out)
