;;Piano Man - Billy Joel

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 []
	[G]dum [G - ][F - ][G]
	[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]

[::33::repeat chorus]

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."[C]
