C G D G Oh, it sat in this corner for many a year C D Through fireside parties, of tears and cheers C G D G The hands of James Hooker flew over its keys C G D G And God know who else 'fore it came to me C G When I was alone I could be Julie Gold C G D G It rang her "From A Distance" just like it was my own C G I'd pretend I've the voice of Beth Nielsen Chapman C G D G I wrote "Late Night Grande" with just my right hand happenin'
[Chorus]

[Chorus]
C D G C D G Whoa………… Whoa……………

C G D G Oh, it's lonesome in this corner at five am C G D I'd called Harlan Howard, only he'd understand C G D G All of those melodies that came to be C G D G Mornings in that corner, that piano and me C G D G I wish for a left hand like Glen D. Hardin C G D G I could play Jimmy Webb or perhaps Randy Newman C G D G Ah, it's a blessing it never met Jerry Lee's feet C G D G Just the hands of those children; is all this Kimball needs
[Chorus]

C Bm C G D I've let it go ... let it go, that piano I bought from Al Jones long ago C Bm C D G I've let it go, I've let it go, I smiled as it rolled out the door C G Em C D G The songs that we wrote, ah, note for note, that piano will always know
[Verse 5]
