This piano song that opens up -Strangeways, Here We Come- is quite simple.
It is only three chords really.  The intro can be played this way:
(Dm Bb)
E ---1---1---1---1-----------------||
B ---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3-||
G ---2---2---2---2---3---3---3---3-||
D -0-------0---3-----3---3---3---3-||
A -----0-----------1-------1---3---||
E ---------------------1-----------||
That is basically how the piano plays the intro and possibly the rest of
the song.  The lyrics without chords on top just go from Dm to Bb:
HELLO i am the ghost of troubled joe hung by his pretty white neck some eighteen months ago i travelled to a mystical time zone but i missed my bed so i soon came home, they said: there is too much caffeine in your blood stream and a lack of real spice in your life i said: leave me alone, because i~m alright, dad just surprised to be on my own... Eb Dm ooh, but don~t mention love Eb Dm i~d hate the strain of the pain again a rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours it has been before so i shall be again and people who are uglier than you and i they take what they need and leave Eb Dm ooh, but don~t mention love Eb Dm i~d hate the pain of the strain all over again a rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours it has been before so why can~t it be now? and people who are weaker than you and i they take what they want from life Eb Dm ooh, but don~t mention love Eb Dm no, no- don~t mention love a rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours your youth may be gone but you~re still a young man so phone me, phone me, phone me phone me, phone me, phone me Eb Dm ooh, i think i~m in love...
