Fm7  Eb     Bb         G#        Eb  G#
It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday,
           Eb          F       Bb
The regular crowd shuffles in.
           Eb     Bb       G#         Eb
There’s an old man sitting next to me
       G#          Bb7       Eb
Making love to his tonic and gin.

Instrumental: Eb | Eb

              Eb | Eb | G# | G#

G#        Eb             Bb      G#      Eb
He says, “Son, can you play me a memory?
    G#           Eb        F7    Bb
I’m not really sure how it goes,
         Eb           Bb
But it’s sad and it’s sweet,
      G#            Eb
And I knew it complete
     G#       Bb7           Eb        Bb
When I wore a younger man’s clothes.”

   Cm       Cm7
   La, la, la,

   Da, dum.

Instrumental: Bb | Bb | Eb | Bb7

Eb         Bb              G#         Eb
Sing us a song, you’re the piano man,
G#         Eb     F7    Bb
Sing us a song tonight.
            Eb          Bb        G#     Eb
Well, we’re all in the mood for a melody
    G#            Bb7       Eb
And you’ve got us feeling alright.

Fm7 Eb           Bb      G#              Eb
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine.
   G#         Eb          F7   Bb
He gets me my drinks for free.
         Eb             Bb
And he’s quick with a joke
      G#                   Eb
Or to light up your smoke,
            G#              Bb7         Eb
But there’s someplace that he’d rather be.

Instrumental: Eb | Eb | G# | G#

G#        Eb         Bb
He says, “Bill, I believe
        G#           Eb
This is killing me,”
      G#        Eb           F7    Bb
As a smile ran away from his face.
           Eb
“Well, I’m sure
       Bb           G#       Eb
That I could be a movie star
   G#          Bb7          Eb
If I could get out of this place.”

 Bb    Cm       Cm7
   Oh, la, la, la,
           F     G#    Bb
   Li, di, da.

Now Paul is a real estate novelist,
    G#          Eb       F7    Bb
Who never had time for a wife.
         Eb             Bb
And he’s talking with Davy,
      G#             Eb
Who’s still in the Navy
    G#       Bb7           Eb
And probably will be for life.

Instrumental: Eb | Eb

              Eb | Eb | G# | G#

G#        Eb        Bb         G#       Eb
And the waitress is practicing politics
       G#          Eb            F7   Bb
As the businessmen slowly get stoned.
             Eb          Bb
Yes, they’re sharing a drink
           G#           Eb
They call “Loneliness,”
         G#          Bb7        Eb
But it’s better than drinking alone.

It’s a pretty good crowd for a Saturday,
        G#      Eb           F    Bb
And the manager gives me a smile,
          Eb              Bb
‘Cause he knows that it’s me
             G#            Eb
They’ve been coming to see
      G#        Bb7          Eb
To forget about life for a while.

Instrumental: Eb | Eb | G# | G#

G#      Eb        Bb            G#       Eb
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival,
        G#          Eb           F7    Bb
And the microphone smells like a beer.
         Eb           Bb
And they sit at the bar
        G#           Eb
And put bread in my jar,
          G#            Bb7        Eb
And say, “Man, what are you doing here?”

 Bb    Cm       Cm7
   Oh, la, la, la,
           F     G#    Bb
   Li, di, da.
