C     GB        Am       Am7G
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
F      CE            D7   G
The regular crowd shuffles in
C         GB      Am         Am7G
There's an old man sitting next to me
         F          G         C
Makin' love to his tonic and gin


|C  G  |Am  Am7G |F  G  |C    |Am7G


C             G        Am     Am7G
He says, "Son, can you play me a memory?
F          CE         D7  G
I'm not really sure how it goes
C             G          Am          Am7G
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
      F         G7             C
When I wore a younger man's clothes"

Da da da dededa....dada dededa da da

Sing us a song, you're the piano man
F         CE    D7   G
Sing us a song tonight
C           G          Am     Am7G
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
      F             G7        C
And you've got us feelin' alright

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

|F   |

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"

Da da da dededa....dada dededa da da

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life

|C  G  |Am  Am7G |F  G  |C    |Am7G

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 drinkin' alone

Solo: |Am  Am7G |D7    | 3x
|G         |C  G7 |

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' alright

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 comin' to see
To forget about life for a while

|F   |

And the piano, it 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?"

Da da da dededa....dada dededa da da

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' alright
