Poor, Poor Pitiful Me
Warren Zevon
The riff just repeats, very simple:
Riff: C C G G D D G:
I lay my head on the railroad tracks
Waiting for the double E
The rail-road don't run no more
Poor, poor pitiful me
Chorus
C G D G
Poor, poor, pitiful me
C G D G
Poor, poor, pitiful me
C G D G
These young girls won't let me be
C D
Lord have mercy on me
D
Woe is me
Well I met a girl in West Hollywood
And I anin't namin' names
But she really worked me over good
She was just like Jesse James
She really worked me over good
She was a credit to her gender
She put me through some changes, lord
Sort of like a Waring blender
Chorus
C G D G
Poor, poor, pitiful me
C G D G
Poor, poor, pitiful me
C G D G
These young girls won't let me be

Lord have mercy on me

Woe is me
Solo (12 bars)
These young girls won't let me be

Woe is me
Solo (12 bars)

Lord have mercy on me

break (4 bars)
I met a girl at the Rainbow Bar
She asked me if I'd beat her
She took me back to the Hyatt House
I don't want to talk about it
Poor, poor pitiful me, poor, poor pitiful me...repeat, What, never mind; whoo hoos...fade
Linda Ronstadt version is in F# with some lyric changes.
