What piano chord do they play at the start of "One is the Loneliest Number" by Three Dog Night?

Q. The song starts out with the same note being played on the piano, what is it? I've been trying to figure it out.

A. The chords for the first 4 bars are (assuming one chord per quarter note in 4/4):

C
Ab
F

played 8 times in the intro, followed by

C
Ab
F

(same chord) 4 times and

Eb
C
Ab

4 times etc.

In other words, the intro has the F minor chord (F-Ab-C) played 8 times, then the vocals begin on this same F minor chord played 4 times followed by the Ab major chord (Ab-C-Eb) played 4 times.

I think it is was a wise move to come here for such technical a question ;)

Hope that helps!

Regards

Original Question

How to choose piano chords for a song learned by ear?
Q. It mainly uses the notes E D C and F. I just don't know which chords I should use in the left hand though. Is there a way to decide this? Thanks!

A. You should use the chords for that song. There is no way to know other than knowing the music for that song. Listen to the song while you play chords until you find the ones that are the same as what you hear on a CD or whatever you listen to it on. An E note could be a part of C major, E minor, E major, A minor, A major, or G6.
