CGAmC Its nine o’clock on a saturday
FCDG The regular crowd shuffles in
CGAmC There’s an old man sitting next to me
FGCC Making love to his tonic and gin
CGAmCFGCCFF
CGAmC He says son can you play me a memory
FCDG I’m not really sure how it goes
CGAmC But it’s sad and its sweet and I knew it complete
FGCC when I wore a younger man’s clothes

CGAmC Well we’re all in the mood for a melody
FGCC and you’ve got us feeling all right

CGAm Now john at the bar is a friend of mine
FD He gets me my drinks for free
CGAm And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
FGC But there's someplace that he'd rather be
CGAm He says, "bill, i believe this is killing me."
FD As the smile ran away from his face
CGAm "well i'm sure that i could be a movie star
FGC If i could get out of this place"

CGAm Now paul is a real estate novelist
FD Who never had time for a wife
CGAm And he's talkin' with davy who's still in the navy
FGC And probably will be for life
CGAm And the waitress is practicing politics
FD As the businessmen slowly get stoned
CGAm Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
FGC But it's better than drinkin' alone
CGAmC Sing us a song you’re the piano man
FCDG Sing us a song tonight
CGAmC Well we’re all in the mood for a melody
FGCC and you’ve got us feeling all right
CGAm It's a pretty good crowd for a saturday
FD And the manager gives me a smile
CGAm 'cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
FGC To forget about life for a while
CGAm And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
FD And the microphone smells like a beer
CGAm And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
FGC And say, "man, what are you doin' here?
