    Baby Grand
		        
		         -      
			, / 

		        	        
			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
