PIANO MAN   (Billy Joel)   
 
 
      C       Em        Am      C      F        C            D7 G     
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday,  the regular crowd shuffles in
            C     Em          Am        C
There's an old man   sitting next to me
        F          G11        C  F CM7 G11  
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
         C             Em       Am      C      F          C           D7  G
He says "Son, can you play me a memory?   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          G11          C  
When I wore a younger man's clothes
Am         Am/G      D7/F#  F Am     Am/G        D7/F#  D7     G  G/F  C G7    
Da   da da      de de da          da da     de de da        da da

 C         Em              Am       C   F        C       D7  G
Sing us a song you're the piano man   sing us a song tonight
             C          Em        Am     C 
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody   
     F            G11          C     F  CM7  G11
and you've got us feelin' all right 


      C         Em        Am            C     F            C        D7  G   
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine   he gets me my drinks for free
           C           Em         Am            C
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
             F              G11        C   F CM7 G11 
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
          C         Em           Am         C       F          C            D7 G   
He says "Bill, I believe this is killing me"  As a smile ran away from his face
            C           Em        Am      C     F           G11          C 
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star if I could get out of this place
Am    Am/G        D7/F#  F Am   Am/G         D7/F#  D7    G  G11 C G7   
Da  da da    de de da         da da     de de da       da da 


      C        Em         Am      C     F         C         D7   G    
Now Paul is a realestate novelist,  he never had time for a wife
          C            Em         Am           C
And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the Navy
     F        G11         C   F CM7 G11
And probably will be for life
          C           Em        Am      C 
And the waitress is practicing politics  
        F           C          D7    G  
as the bus'nessmen slowly get stoned
              C         Em              Am        C 
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness  
          F           G11       C
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Am    Am/G        D7/F#  F Am   Am/G         D7/F#  D7    G  G/F C G7   
Da  da da    de de da         da da     de de da       da da 


        C            Em        Am                 F       C          D7   G
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday  and the manager gives me a smile
            C             Em              Am         C
'cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
       F         G11        C    F  CM7  G11
To forget about life for a while
         C      Em          Am      C         F           C            D7  G
And the piano sounds like a carnival and the microphone smells like a beer
          C          Em           Am         C
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
          F             G11       C  
and say "Man, what are you doin' here?"
Am    Am/G        D7/F#  F Am   Am/G         D7/F#  D7    G  G/F C G7   
Da  da da    de de da         da da     de de da       da da
