C         G            Am       F G
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday ■ ■
F     Em      Em7   D           G
■ The regular crowd shuffles in ■
           C   Bm  Bm7     Am         G
There's an old man sittin' next to me ■
C F                            C  
■ Makin' love to his tonic and gin
G Am G C F G C F

[Chorus]
        C           G         Am     C
He says Son can you play me a memory ■
F              C           D    G
I'm not really sure how it goes ■
         C            G           Am      G       
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
F                           C      
When I wore a younger man's clothes
Am G    D       F
La lala dideeda ■
Am C    D       G     G7 C
■  Lala dideeda dadum ■  ■
G7 C         G               Am    G   C
■  Sing us a song you're the piano man ■
F         Em   D       G
Sing us a song tonight ■
     C                G          A7     G7
Well we're all in the mood for a melody ■ 
C F                         C      
■ And you've got us feelin' alright

[Verse]
C               G        Am             G
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine ■
F             Em         D   
He gets me my drinks for free
G          C            G          Am            C    
■ And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
            F               Gsus4       C 
But there's some place that he'd rather be


[Chorus]
F         C      G               Am         C
■ He says Bill I believe this is killing me ■
       F         Em            D    G
As the smile ran away from his face ■
         C           G          Am    G   
Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
F              Gsus4       C    
If I could get out of this place
Am    G    D      
Oh la lala dideeda
F    Am G D       G    
Lala ■  ■ dideeda dadum


[Verse]
C G C             G           Am       G
■ ■ Now Paul is a real estate novelist ■
C F             Em         D    G
■ Who never had time for a wife ■
         C            G          Am           G   
And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the Navy
F            G7          C   
And probably will be for life
G Am G F C F

[Chorus]
        C           G          F        C
And the waitress is practicing politics ■
       F           C          D     
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
G           C         G               Am         C
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness ■
         F                    C    
But it's better than drinkin' alone

Sing us a song tonight ■
           C          G          Am     C
Well we're all in the mood for a melody ■
F                         C      
And you've got us feelin' alright

[Verse]
                   G                   
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
        F       Em         D     G
And the manager gives me a smile ■
          C               G               Am        G  
'cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
   F            G7   F     C    
To forget about life for a while


[Chorus]
F         C        G             Am       G
■ And the piano it sounds like a carnival ■
        F          Em            D    G
And the microphone smells like a beer ■
         C          G           F           C  
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
        F            Gsus4     C   
And say Man what are you doin' here
Am    C    D      
Oh la lala dideeda
F    Am G D       G     F C
Lala ■  ■ dideeda dadum ■ ■
G C         G           Am        G  
■ Sing us a song you're the piano man
F         C    D       G
Sing us a song tonight ■
           C          G          Am     G
Well we're all in the mood for a melody ■
F                 Gsus4   C      
And you've got us feelin' alright
