[Paul Simon]
Am                     Abaug
 When I was nine years old
C/G            D7/F#
 My daddy ran away
       C/G      G        C      G/B
With a woman he met on a train, oh
Am             Abaug
His little boy   ran to the room
C/G              D7/F#
 Where his piano lay in wait for him
   C/G                  G                 [C]
He played and he played, he played and he played

[Paul Simon]
Am           Abaug
  A year ago,  I met a girl
C/G                           D7/F#
 I thought we'd hit a massive groove
        C/G
But she dumped me
G
  And all we'd hit were the blues
