[Verse 2]
          C             C/B       F/A     C/G 
He says, "son, can you play me a memory?
    F          C/E          D    G
I'm not really sure how it goes
          C           C/B          F/A      C/G 
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
     F          G              C 
When I wore a younger man's clothes"

[Pre-Chorus]
Am              D

Sing us a song tonight
             C         C/B          F/A   C/G     
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
      F             G       C 
And you've got us feelin' alright

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
     C          C/B        F/A            C/G      
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
    F          C/E         D   G 
He gets me my drinks for free
           C           C/B        F/A           C/G      
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
              F            G            C   
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
          C         C/B            F/A          C/G 
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
         F       C/E             D   G      
As the smile ran away from his face
           C           C/B        F/A        C/G
"well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
   F            G           C 
If I could get out of this place"

[Pre-Chorus]
Am              D
La la la, de de da
Am           D     C/G F C/E D 
La la, de de da da da

[Verse]
     C        C/B            F/A   C/G
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
      F       C/E         D    G
Who never had time for a wife
         C            C/B         F/A          C/G 
And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy
      F       G            C   
And probably will be for life

[Instrumental]
|C |C/B |F/A |C/G

[Verse]
         C           C/B         F/A     C/G
And the waitress is practicing politics
        F           C/E         D     G 
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
               C        C/B              F/A       C/G 
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
          F             G        C 
But it's better than drinkin' alone

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
 C        C/B               F/A      C/G
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
F          C/E    D      G 
Sing us a song tonight
             C         C/B          F/A   C/G     
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
      F             G       C 
And you've got us feelin' alright

[VEse]
          C         C/B        F/A      C/G
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
          F      C/E         D    G 
And the manager gives me a smile
           C              C/B              F/A       C/G     
'cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
   C            D          G
To forget about life for a while
         C          C/B          F/A     C/G
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
          F         C/E           D     G 
And the microphone smells like a beer
          C         C/B          F/A        C/G
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
          F              C/E       D     G 
And say, "man, what are you doin' here?"

[Pre-Chorus]
Am              D
La la la, de de da
Am           D     C/G F C/E D 
La la, de de da da da

[Chorus]
 C        C/B               F/A      C/G
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
F          C/E    D      G 
Sing us a song tonight
             C         C/B          F/A   C/G     
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
      F             G       C 
And you've got us feelin' alright

[Instrumental]
|C |C/B |F/A |C/G
|F |C/E
