Em₇  D      A          G         D   G
It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday,
           D           E       A    
The regular crowd shuffles in.
           D      A        G          D  
There’s an old man sitting next to me
       G           A₇sus₄    D
Making love to his tonic and gin.

G         D              A       G       D  
He says, “Son, can you play me a memory?
    G            D         E₇    A
I’m not really sure how it goes,
         D            A  
But it’s sad and it’s sweet,
      G             D  
And I knew it complete
     G        A₇sus₄        D         A  
When I wore a younger man’s clothes.”

   Bm       Bm₇ 
   La, la, la,

   Li, di, da.

D          A               G          D  
Sing us a song, you’re the piano man,
G          D      E₇    A
Sing us a song tonight.
            D           A         G      D  
Well, we’re all in the mood for a melody
    G             A₇sus₄    D
And you’ve got us feeling alright.

Em₇ D            A       G               D  
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine.
   G          D           E₇   A    
He gets me my drinks for free.
         D              A  
And he’s quick with a joke
      G                    D  
Or to light up your smoke,
            G               A₇sus₄      D
But there’s someplace that he’d rather be.

Instrumental: D | D | G | G

G         D          A  
He says, “Bill, I believe
        G            D  
This is killing me,”
      G         D            E₇    A
As a smile ran away from his face.
           D
“Well, I’m sure
       A            G        D  
That I could be a movie star
   G           A₇sus₄       D
If I could get out of this place.”

 A     Bm       Bm₇ 
   Oh, la, la, la,
           E     G     A  
   Li, di, da.

A₇   D        A           G         D  
Now Paul is a real estate novelist,
    G           D        E₇    A
Who never had time for a wife.
         D              A  
And he’s talking with Davy,
      G              D  
Who’s still in the Navy
    G        A₇sus₄        D
And probably will be for life.

G         D         A          G        D  
And the waitress is practicing politics
       G           D             E₇   A
As the businessmen slowly get stoned.
             D           A  
Yes, they’re sharing a drink
           G            D  
They call “Loneliness,”
         G           A₇sus₄     D
But it’s better than drinking alone.

Em₇    D              A        G         D  
It’s a pretty good crowd for a Saturday,
        G       D            E    A
And the manager gives me a smile,
          D               A  
‘Cause he knows that it’s me
             G             D  
They’ve been coming to see
      G         A₇sus₄       D
To forget about life for a while.

Instrumental: D | D | G | G

G       D         A             G        D  
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival,
        G           D            E₇    A
And the microphone smells like a beer.
         D            A  
And they sit at the bar
        G            D  
And put bread in my jar,
          G             A₇sus₄     D
And say, “Man, what are you doing here?”

 A     Bm       Bm₇ 
   Oh, la, la, la,
           E     G     A  
   Li, di, da.
 Bm     Bm₇

Sing us a song tonight.

Well, we’re all in the mood for a melody
