It's
(C)nine o'(C/B)clock
on a (Amin)Saturday (Amin/G)
The (F)regular crowd shuffles (G)in.
There's an (C)old man (C/B)sitting
(Amin)next to me (Amin/G)
Makin' (F)love to his (G)tonic
and (C)gin.
He says, "Son can you play me a memory,
I'm not really sure how it goes.
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes".
(Amin)Da
da da de de (D)da
(Amin)da da de de (D)da
da da (G)
(C)Sing us a (C/B)song,
you're the (Amin)piano man (Amin/G)
(F)Sing us a song to(G)night
Well, we're (C)all in the (C/B)mood
for a (Amin)melody (Amin/G)
And (F)you've got us (G)feelin'
all (C)right
Now John at the bar is a
friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says Bill, I believe this is killing me
As the smile ran away from his face
Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place
Sing us a song, you're the
piano man
sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' all right
Now Paul is a real estate
novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talking with Davy who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone
It's a pretty good crowd
for a Saturday,
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
To forget about life for awhile.
And the piano sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say "Man, what are you doin' here?"
