I use capo on 3. fret
Vers 1
There's an Dold grand piano, alHmone in the heart of the deGsert
EmStanding upright in the shine of the full moon aAbove
They Dsay it was left there a Hmlong time ago in the 6G0's 
By a Emman who had written a song to the woman he Aloved 
Vers 2
Now it's Dfalling apart from the Hmsand and the heat and the Gdecades.
EmRattlesnakes live in the space by the rusty old Awires 
They Dsay that the song was a Hmhit, we would all recogGnize it
A Embeautiful melody only love could have inAspired
Ref:                     D                          Em  A  
But love has a way of changing from sunlight to shadow
DLove has a way of Emchanging from gold into Atin 
And Gall that's left to reDcall what has been 
Is a Gsong they know from L.DA. to Berlin
And a Embroken piano in the AArizona desert Dwind
Vers 3
There are Dthose who have camped at the Hmsite of that strong wooden Gstatue 
Who Emsays that it plays when the first morning sunray breaks Athrough 
They Dgaze at that sad instruHmment with the cactus beGside it
A Emshrine or a tombstone depending on your point of Aview 
Ref:                     D                          Em  A  
But love has a way of changing from sunlight to shadow
DLove has a way of Emchanging from gold into Atin 
And Gall that's left to reDcall what has been 
Is a Gsong they know from L.DA. to Berlin
And a Embroken piano in the AArizona desert Dwind
Outro
GAll that's left to reDcall what has been 
Is a Gsong they know from L.DA. to Berlin
And a Embroken piano in the AArizona desert Dwind 
A Embroken piano in the AArizona desert DWind
