     C      Em         Am       C
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
    F       C              D     G
The regular crowd shuffles in
           C       Em      Am        C
There's an old man sitting next to me
       F                     C     F     Cmaj7     F
Making love to his tonic and gin
        C           Em        Am    C
He says son can you play me a memory
    F          C           D     G
I'm not really sure how it goes
         C            Em          Am          C
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
     F                      C
When I wore a younger man's clothes
   Am     Am     D     F     Am     

Am     D     D    G     C     G
Da Da Da...
C         Em              Am       C
Sing us a song you're the piano man
F       C      D     G
Sing us a song tonight
           C          Em         Am
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
    F                         C     F     Cmaj7     F
And you've got us feeling all right
    C           Em       Am            C
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
   F          C          D   G
He gets me my drinks for free
         C            Em         
And he's quick with a joke or to 
Am            C
light up your smoke
           F                          C     F     Cmaj7     F
But there'e someplace that he'd rather be
        C         Em           Am      C
He says Bill I believe this is killing me
     F           C           D     G
As a smile ran away from his face
         C           Em         Am          C
Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
   F                       C
If I could get out of this place
   Am     Am     D     F     Am     

Am     D     D    G     C     G
Da Da Da...
C         Em              Am       C
Sing us a song you're the piano man
F         C      D     G

And you've got us feeling all right
    C         Em          Am       C
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
    F         C          D     G
Who never had time for a wife
         C            Em         
And he's talking with Davy who's 
Am           C
still in the Navy
   F                    C     F     Cmaj7     F
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics
       F           C          D     G
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
            C         Em              Am          C
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
         F                      C
But it's better than drinking alone
   Am     Am     D     F     Am     

Am     D     D    G     C     G
Da Da Da...

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
        F       C          D    G
And the manager gives me a smile
         C               Em              
Cause he knows that it's me that they're 
Am        C
coming to see
      F         C     F     Cmaj7     F
To forget about life for a while
        C     Em            Am      C
And the piano sounds like a carnival
        F          C             D     G
And the microphone smells like a beer
         C          Em          Am          C
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
        F                      C
And say man what are you doing here
    Am     Am     D     F     Am     

Am     D     D    G     C     G
