Warren Zevon - Piano Fighter

      *The repetition of the C5 chord found in the break and outro represent 16 fast hammerings of the chord
**Each repetition of the [Cm Bb Ab G] progression is played on a lower octave so the musician should start
  far to the right on the piano and move down. In the right hand the musician plays the Cm pentatonic blues
  scale (also progressing down the keyboard) The notes to the Cm pentatonic blues scale are C-Eb-F-F#-G-Bb-C.
  going down the keyboard the scale is C-Bb-G-F#-F-Eb-C

Mom and Papa bought a Chickering

Every day I'd sit and play that thing
Ab          Eb          Bb          Eb
I practiced hard it was more than a whim
Ab            Eb           Bb    Eb
I played with grim determination Jim

A thousand casuals and one night stands

Here on Thursday, gone on Friday
Ab      Eb       Bb
Heading down the Dixie Highway

Steady work for a change
  Ab                                   Bb
I ain't going down that long lonesome road
Ab                                  Bb   G7
Ain't going down that long lonesome roooooad

I cut a single and it made the charts
Cm                     Ab        Bb
I took the money and I played my part
Ab     Eb              Bb    Eb
Got in trouble down in New Orleans
Ab     Eb               Bb
I must admit that I was strung out painted in the corner of a limousine
