These are Queen Of The B-Sides chords by The Black Crowes for Piano and Ukulele.

[Intro]
Em    A    Em     A
Em    A    D

[Verse 1]
Em                      A
 There's no joy without sorrow
Em            A
 This much is true
Em                     A     
 But that really don't matter 
             D
when you're broke down,
 stoned, and blue
Em                   A        
 If you can't find a new love,
Em                  A
 an accomplice will do

Em                 A   
 Let 'em read all about 
           D
it in the razor-blade news

[Chorus]
Bm          C
 I know the deal I took
  G             C        G
I know how this all goes down
Bm          C
 I'm not as dumb as I look
     G       C       G
Just ask any fool in town
Bm
  And somewhere in my dream
A
  You come back to me
D
Softly

[Outro]
Em            A
 Queen of the B-sides
Em   A
 So aloof
Em          A
 Accused of treason
           D
But you'll never 
find any proof
