Bm₇  A      E          D         A   D
It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday,
           A           B       E    
The regular crowd shuffles in.
           A      E        D          A  
There’s an old man sitting next to me
       D           E₇sus₄    A
Making love to his tonic and gin.

D         A              E       D       A  
He says, “Son, can you play me a memory?
    D            A         B₇    E
I’m not really sure how it goes,
         A            E  
But it’s sad and it’s sweet,
      D             A  
And I knew it complete
     D        E₇sus₄        A         E  
When I wore a younger man’s clothes.”

   F#m      F#m₇ 
   La, la, la,
           B     D     E  
   Li, di, da.
 F#m    F#m₇

   Li, di, da,
 B₇    E
   Da, dum.

A          E               D          A  
Sing us a song, you’re the piano man,
D          A      B₇    E
Sing us a song tonight.
            A           E         D      A  
Well, we’re all in the mood for a melody
    D             E₇sus₄    A
And you’ve got us feeling alright.

Bm₇ A            E       D               A  
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine.
   D          A           B₇   E    
He gets me my drinks for free.
         A              E  
And he’s quick with a joke
      D                    A  
Or to light up your smoke,
            D               E₇sus₄      A
But there’s someplace that he’d rather be.

Instrumental: A | A | D | D

D         A          E  
He says, “Bill, I believe
        D            A  
This is killing me,”
      D         A            B₇    E
As a smile ran away from his face.
           A
“Well, I’m sure
       E            D        A  
That I could be a movie star
   D           E₇sus₄       A
If I could get out of this place.”

 E     F#m      F#m₇ 
   Oh, la, la, la,
           B     D     E  
   Li, di, da.
 F#m    F#m₇ 
   La, la,
           B          E  
   Li, di, da,
 B₇    E
   Da, dum.

Instrumental: E | E | A | E₇

E₇   A        E           D         A  
Now Paul is a real estate novelist,
    D           A        B₇    E
Who never had time for a wife.
         A              E  
And he’s talking with Davy,
      D              A  
Who’s still in the Navy
    D        E₇sus₄        A
And probably will be for life.

Instrumental: A | A

D         A         E          D        A  
And the waitress is practicing politics
       D           A             B₇   E
As the businessmen slowly get stoned.
             A           E  
Yes, they’re sharing a drink
           D            A  
They call “Loneliness,”
         D           E₇sus₄     A
But it’s better than drinking alone.

Bm₇    A              E        D         A  
It’s a pretty good crowd for a Saturday,
        D       A            B    E
And the manager gives me a smile,
          A               E  
‘Cause he knows that it’s me
             D             A  
They’ve been coming to see
      D         E₇sus₄       A
To forget about life for a while.

Instrumental: A | A | D | D

D       A         E             D        A  
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival,
        D           A            B₇    E
And the microphone smells like a beer.
         A            E  
And they sit at the bar
        D            A  
And put bread in my jar,
          D             E₇sus₄     A
And say, “Man, what are you doing here?”

 E     F#m      F#m₇ 
   Oh, la, la, la,
           B     D     E  
   Li, di, da.
 F#m    F#m₇ 
   La, la,
           B          E  
   Li, di, da,
 B₇    E
   Da, dum.

Sing us a song tonight.
            A           E         D      A  
Well, we’re all in the mood for a melody

And you’ve got us feeling alright.
