It's
C
nine o'
Em
clock on a
Am
Saturday,
C
the
F
Regular
C
crowd shuffles
D7-
in,
G
There's an
C
old man
Em
sitting
Am
next to me
C
makin'
F
love to his
G
tonic and
C
gin
G
He says, "
C
Son, can you
Em
play me a
Am
memory?
C
... I'm
F
not really
C
sure how it
D7
goes
G
But it's
C
sad and it's
Em
sweet and I
Am
knew it com
C
plete, when
F
I wore a
G
younger man's
C
clothes"
C
Am
La la
la, de de
D7
da,
Am
La
la, de de
D7
da da
C
Sing us a
Em
song, you're the pi
Am
ano man.
C
F
Sing us a
C
song to
D7
night
G
Well, we're
C
all in the
Em
mood for a
Am
melody,
C
and
F
you've got us
G
feelin' al
C
right
G
Now
C
John at the
Em
bar is a
Am
friend of mine.
C
He
F
gets me my
C
drinks for
D7
free.
G
He's
C
quick with a
Em
joke or to
Am
light up your
C
smoke, but there's
F
someplace that
G
he'd rather
C
be.
G
He says, "
C
Bill, I be
Em
lieve this is
Am
killing me."
C
As the
F
smile ran aw
C
ay from his
D7
face.
G
"Well I'm
C
sure that I
Em
could be a
Am
movie star,
C
if
F
I could get
G
out of this
C
place"
C
Now
C
Paul is a
Em
real estate
Am
novelist
C
who
F
never had
C
time for a
D7
wife
G
And he's
C
talkin' with
Em
Davy, who's
Am
still in the
C
navy, and
F
probably
G
will be for
C
life
G
And the
C
waitress is
Em
practicing
Am
politics,
C
as the
F
businessmen
C
slowly get
D7
stoned
G
Yes, they're
C
sharing a
Em
drink they call
Am
loneliness,
C
but it's
F
better than
G
drinkin'
C
alone
C
It's a
C
pretty good
Em
crowd for a
Am
Saturday,
C
and the
F
manager
C
gives me a
D7
smile
G
'Cause he
C
knows that it's
Em
me they've been
Am
comin' to
C
see to for
F
get about
G
life for a
C
while
G
And the pi
C
ano, it
Em
sounds like a
Am
carnival,
C
and the
F
microphone
C
smells like a
D7
beer.
G
As they
C
sit at the
Em
bar and put
Am
bread in my
C
jar, and say,
F
"Man, what are
G
you doin'
C
here."
