    [VERSE]
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
    F C/E D7 G
    The regular crowd shuffles in
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    There's an old man sitting next to me
    F G C
    Making love to his tonic and gin

    [INSTRUMENTAL] C Cmaj7 Am G F G C

    [VERSE]
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    He says, "Son can you play me a memory
    F C/E D7 G
    I'm not really sure how it goes
    C Cmaj7
    But it's sad and it's sweet
    Am G
    And I knew it complete
    F G C
    When I wore a younger man's clothes."

    [INSTRUMENTAL] Am G D7 F x2
    [INSTRUMENTAL] G F G C

    [CHORUS]
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    Sing us a song you're the piano man
    F C/E D7 G
    Sing us a song tonight
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    Well we're all in the mood for a melody
    F G C
    And you've got us feeling alright

    [INSTRUMENTAL] C Cmaj7 Am G F G C
    [INSTRUMENTAL] C F G F G C x2

    [VERSE]
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
    F C/E D7 G
    He gets me my drinks for free
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
    F G C F
    But there's someplace that he'd rather be


    C Cmaj7 Am G
    He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
    F C/E D7 G
    As a smile ran away from his face
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    "Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
    F G C
    If I could get out of this place."

    [INSTRUMENTAL] Am G D7 F x2
    [INSTRUMENTAL] G F G F

    [VERSE]
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    Now Paul is a real estate novelist
    F C/E D7 G
    Who never had time for a wife
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy
    F G C
    And probably will be for life

    [INSTRUMENTAL] C Cmaj7 Am G F G C
    [INSTRUMENTAL] C F G F G C x2

    [VERSE]
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    And the waitress is practicing politics
    F C/E D7 G
    As the businessmen slowly get stoned
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
    F G C G F D7 G
    But it's better than drinking alone

    [INSTRUMENTAL] Am G D7 F G x4

    [CHORUS]
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    Sing us a song you're the piano man
    F C/E D7 G
    Sing us a song tonight
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    Well we're all in the mood for a melody
    F G C
    And you've got us feeling alright

    [INSTRUMENTAL] C Cmaj7 Am G F G C
    [INSTRUMENTAL] C F G F G C x2

    [VERSE]
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
    F C/E D7 G
    And the manager gives me a smile
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
    F G C F
    To forget about life for a while


    C Cmaj7 Am G
    And the piano it sounds like a carnival
    F C/E D7 G
    And the microphone smells like a beer
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
    F G C
    And say, "Man what are you doing here?"

    [INSTRUMENTAL] Am G D7 F G x4

    [CHORUS]
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    Sing us a song you're the piano man
    F C/E D7 G
    Sing us a song tonight
    C Cmaj7 Am G
    Well we're all in the mood for a melody
    F G C
    And you've got us feeling alright
