[Intro]
C Em Am C/G
[Verse 1]
C Em Am
It's nine o clock on a Saturday
C/G F C/E D7
The regular crowd shuffles in
G C Em Am C/G
There's an old man sitting next to me
C/G F G11 C F/C Cmaj7 G11
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
G11 C Em Am C/G
He says "son can you play me a memory?"
C/G F C/E D7 G
I'm not really sure how it goes
G C Em Am C/G
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
C/G F G11 C
When I wore a younger man's clothes
[Pre-chorus]
Am Am/G D7/F# F Am
Da da da______ de de da_____ Da da__
Am/G D7/F# D7 G G/F C/E G7/D

[Chorus]
C Em Am C/G
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
F C/E D7
Sing us a song to-night
G C Em Am
well, we're all in the mood for a melody
C/G F G11 C F/C Cmaj7
and you've got us feelin' al-right
[Verse 2]
C Em Am
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
C/G F C/E D7
He gets me my drinks for free
G C Em Am C/G
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
C/G F G11 C F/C Cmaj7
But there's some place that he'd rather be
G11 C/E Em Am
He says, Bill, I be-lieve this is killing me.
C/G F C/E D7
As a smile ran a-way from his face
G C Em Am C/G
Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
C/G F G11 C
If I could get out of this place
[Pre-chorus]
Am Am/G D7/F# F Am
Da da da______ de de da_____ Da da__
Am/G D7/F# D7 G G/F C/E G7/D

[Chorus]
C Em Am C/G
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
F C/E D7
Sing us a song to-night
G C Em Am
well, we're all in the mood for a melody
C/G F G11 C F/C Cmaj7
and you've got us feelin' al-right
[Verse 3]
C Em Am
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
C/G F C/E D7 G
Who never had time for a wife
G C Em Am C/G
And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy
C/G F G11 C F/C Cmaj7
And probably will be for life
G11 C Em Am
And the waitress is practicing politics
C/G F C/E D7
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
G C Em Am C/G
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneli-ness
C/G F G11 C
But it's better than drinkin' a-lone
[Pre-chorus]
Am Am/G D7/F# F Am
Da da da______ de de da_____ Da da__
Am/G D7/F# D7 G G/F C/E G7/D

Sing us a song to-night
G C Em Am
well, we're all in the mood for a melody
C/G F G11 C F/C Cmaj7
and you've got us feelin' al-right
[Verse 4]
C Em Am
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
C/G F C/E D7 G
And the manager gives me a smile
G C Em Am C/G
cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
C/G F G11 C F/C Cmaj7
To for-get about life for a while
G11 C Em Am C/G
And the piano sounds like a carnival
C/G F C/E D7
And the microphone smells like a beer
G C Em Am C/G
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
C/G F G11 C
And say, man, what are you doin' here?
[Pre-chorus]
Am Am/G D7/F# F Am
