[Intro 1]
[C][Bb][Csus4][C][Csus4][Cm][C]

[Verse 1]
"?Jacky? jigsaw [Csus4]pieces[C]
Tossed [G]about the [Csus4]room[C][F][C]
I saw my grandma [Csus4]sweepin'[C]
With [Csus4]her old straw broom
[C][F]
But she didn't what she
was [Eb]doin'[Bb][F]
She could [C]hardly [F]un
[Asus4]derstand[C][G][C]
That she was really [Gm]sweepin' [C]up
[G]Pieces of [Gm]a man

[Verse 2]
[C]
I saw my daddy greet the mail[Csus4]man[C]
And I heard the mailman [Csus4]say[C]
"now don't you take this letter
to heart now Jimmy
[Bb]Cause [C]they've laid off
nine others [Csus4]today"[Gm][F]
But he didn't know what he
was [Eb]say [E]ing[F]
He could hardly un[Asus4]derstand
[A]Tha[Asus4]t he was[G][C]
[G]only talk[Gm]in' t[C]o
Pieces of a [Gm]man
[Csus4]

[Verse 3]
[F]
I saw the thunder and heard
the [Bbsus4]lightnin'![Em]
And felt the burden of his [Asus4]shame[D]
And [A]for some [D]unknown [C]reason
[G]He [Asus4]never turned my way
[A][G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]Pie[C]ces of that letter
[Csus4][Gm][C]
Were tossed about that [Gm]room[C]
And now I hear the sound
of [Csus4]sirens[Gm][C]
Come knifing through
[Bb]the gloom[Csus4][F]
But they don't know what
they are [Eb]doing[F]
They could [C]hardly [F]un
[Asus4]derstand[G][C]
That they're only arrestin'
[Bb][Csus4][Gm][C]
[G]Pieces of a [Csus4]man
[Gm]

[Verse 5]
[C]
I saw him [G]go to [Cm]pieces[Bb][Gm][C]
I saw him [G]go [C]to pieces[G][C]
He was always [G]such a good
[Cm]man[Bb][Csus4][Gm][C]
He was always [G]such [Csus4]a strong
strong [Bb]man[C][G][C]
Yeah, I saw [G]him go to [C]pieces[Bb][C]

[Outro 1]
I saw him go [Bb]to pieces"
[Gm][C][Bb][Gm]
[D][Gm]
