"Bag Lady" Todd Rundgren From the album "The Hermit of Mink Hollow" Transcribed by Brian Canfield (dontpoll@aol.com) This one is up on the site already, but it sounded a bit off to me..so here's my shot at it. I try to suggest keyboard voicings using paranthesis. For this song, and a lot of Todd's piano based songs (Lucky Guy is another good example), he'll sort of play the vocal melody on the piano as well by putting the appropriate note/pitch on top of the chord. I tried to replicate some of that here. Ab/Gb Db/Gb (Eb-Ab-C) (F-Ab-Db) (x3) Like a fly.. Eb/F Ab/F (Eb-G-Bb) (C-Eb-Ab) senselesly blunders.. (Bb-D-G) (Bb-D-Ab) (Bb-D-Bb) (Bb-D-G) (Bb-D-F) <---Bb in the bass for Up and down the length of west broad way all of those (C-Eb-Ab) (C-Eb-G) (C-Eb) <----Ab in the bass for those The Bag La dy Db Eb/Db Db Eb/Db (Ab-Db-F) (Bb-Eb-G) Wan ders.. Cb Db/Cb Cb Db/Cb (Gb-B-Eb) (Ab-Db-F) Fifty cents rent goes pretty far when you live in a subway car One stop's the same as another <---same chords as above for this section Even Son of Sam sees her sleeping, she's not worth the bother Bbm7 Gbmaj9 Sorrow, do they ever want to cry Fm7 Do they see us pass by Cm7 Db Eb/Db Cb Db/Cb Where do they come from (sim - ple ans - wers) Bbm7 Do they come falling, Gbmaj9 falling from the sky like rain Fm7 Crawling up the basement drain Cm7 Misfits and black sheep Db Eb/Db Db Eb/Db Cb Db/Cb Cb Db/Cb For mer bro thers, friends of mothers The rest of the song uses the same chords essentially.
