It's

nine o'

clock on a

Saturday,
Am

F
Regular
C
crowd shuffles
D7
in,
G

There's an
C
old man,
Em
... sitting
Am
next to me,
Am
makin'
F
love to his
G
tonic and
C
gin.
C
...
He says,
C
"Son, can you
Em
play me a
Am
memory
Am
? ...
F
I'm not really
C
sure how it
D7
goes
G
But it's
C
sad and it's

sweet and I
Am
knew it com

F
I wore a
G
younger man's
C
clothes"

Now
C
John at the

bar is a

friend of mine,
Am
...
F
He gets me my
C
drinks for
D
free.
G
...
He's
C
quick with a
Em
joke or to
Am
light up your smoke,
Am
but there's
F
someplace that
G
he'd rather
C-C-F-F
be.
He says, "
C
Bill, I be
Em
lieve this is
Am
killing me."

As the
F
smile ran
C
away from his
D
face
G
.
"Well I'm

Em
could be a

Now
C
Paul is a

real estate
Am
novelist

who
F
never had

time for a

wife

And he's
C
talkin' with

Davy, who's

still in the

navy, and
F
probably

will be for

life.
C
And the
C
waitress is
Em
practicing
Am
politics,
Am
as the
F
businessmen
C
slowly get
D
stoned.
G
Yes, they're
C
sharing a

drink they call

loneliness,
Am
but it's
F
better than
G
drinkin' a

lone.

It's a

pretty good

Saturday,
Am
and the
F
manager gives
C
me a

smile.
G
'Cause he
C
knows that it's
Em
me they've been
Am
comin' to
Am
see to
F
forget about
G
life for a
C-C-F-F
while.
And the
C
piano, it
Em
sounds like a
Am
carnival,
Am
and the
F
microphone
C
smells like a
D
beer.
G
As they
C
sit at the
Em
bar and put
Am
bread in my jar,
Am
and say,

"Man, what are
G
you doin'

here".
