Poor Poor Pitiful Me By Warren Zevon Linda Ronstadt version The riff just repeats very simple: Riff: / [Verse] 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] Poor poor pitiful me Poor poor pitiful me Oh these boys won’t let me be     Lord have mercy on me Woe is me (4 bar solo) [Verse] 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] Poor poor pitiful me Poor poor pitiful me Oh these boys won’t let me be     Lord have mercy on me Woe is me [Solo] (8 bars) [Verse] 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] Poor poor pitiful me Poor poor pitiful me Oh these boys won’t let me be     Lord have mercy on me Woe is me Poor poor poor me poor poor pitiful me (repeat solo out)
