Piano Man chords
Billy Joel 1973 *
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Man_(song)
Intro
Verse 1
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next
to me
Making love to his tonic and 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."
Interlude
la la la, di da da
La la, di di da da dum
Chorus
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 all feeling
alright
Verse 2
Now John at the bar is a friend
of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke and
he'll light up your smoke
But there's some place 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"
Interlude
la la la, di da da
La la, di di da da dum
Verse 3
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 businessman slowly gets
stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink
they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking
alone
Chorus
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 all feeling
alright
Verse 4
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 a while
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
doing here?"
Interlude
la la la, di da da
La la, di di da da dum
Chorus
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 all feeling
alright
