[C] [F/C] [G/C] [F/C]
[C] [F/C] [G/C] [F/C]
It's [C]nine o'[G/B]clock on a [F/A]Saturday [C/G]
[F]The regular [C/E]crowd shuffles [D7]in [G]
There's an [C]old man [G/B] sitting [F/A]next to me [C/G]
Makin' [F]love to his [G11]tonic and [C]gin
[C] [G/B] [F/A] [C/G] [F] [G11] [C] [F/C]
He says "[C]Son can you [G/B]play me a [F/A]memory[C/G] ?
I'm [F]not really [C/E]sure how it [D7]goes [G]
But it's [C]sad and it's [G/B]sweet and I [F/A]knew it com[C/G]plete
When [F]I wore a [G11]younger man's [C]clothes"
[Am]La La [Am/G]La diddy [D7/F#]da [Dm/F]
[Am]La [Am/G]La diddy [D7/F#]da[D7]da [G]dum [G/F] [C/E] [G7/D]
[C]Sing us a [G/B]song, you're the [F/A]piano man, [C/G]
[F]sing us a [C/E]song to[D7]night [G]
Well we're [C]all in the [G/B]mood for a [F]melody
[C/G]and [F]you've got us [G11]feeling all [C]right
[C] [G/B] [F/A] [C/G] [F] [G11] [C] [F/C]
Now [C]John at the [G/B]bar is a [F/A]friend of mine, [C]
he [F]gets me my [C/E]drinks for [D7]free [G]
And he's [C]quick with a [G/B]joke or to
[F/A]light up your smoke,[C/G]
but there's [F]some place that [G11]he'd rather [C]be [F/C]
He says "[C]Bill I be[G/B]lieve this is [F/A]killing me"[C/G]
As a [F]smile ran a[C/E]way from his [D7]face [G]
"Well I'm [C]sure that I [G/B]could be a [F/A]movie [C/G]star
If [F]I could get [G11]out of this [C]place"
[Am]La La [Am/G]La diddy [D7/F#]da [Dm/F]
[Am]La [Am/G]La diddy [D7/F#]da[D7]da [G]dum [G/F] [C/E] [G7/D]
Now [C]Paul is a [G/B]real estate [F/A]novelist [C]
who [F]never had [C/E]time for a [D7]wife [G]
And he's [C]talking with [G/B]Davy, who's [F/A]still in the [C/G]Navy,
and [F]probably [G11]will be for [C]life
[C] [G/B] [F/A] [C/G] [F] [G11] [C] [F/C]
And the [C]waitress is [G/B]practicing [F/A]politics,
[C/G] as the [F]businessmen [C/E]slowly get [D7]stoned [G]
Yes they're [C]sharing a [G/B]drink they call [F/A]loneliness,[C/G]
but it's [F]better than [G11]drinking a[C]lone

It's a [C]pretty good [G/B]crowd for a [F/A]Saturday [C]
and the [F]manager [C/E]gives me a [D7]smile [G]
`Cause he [C]knows that it's [G/B]me that they've been [F/A]coming to [C/G]see
To for[F]get about [G11]life for a [C]while [F/C]
And the [C]piano [G/B]sounds like a [F/A]carnival[C/G]
and the [F]microphone [C/E]smells like a [D7]beer [G]
And they [C]sit at the [G/B]bar and put [F/A]bread in my [C/G]jar
and say "[F]Man what are [G11]you doing [C]here ?"
