[Verse 1]  
[C]      [G]           [Am]      [C]  
It's nine o’clock on a Saturday  
[F]         [C]         [D]        [G]  
The regular crowd shuffles in  
[C]      [G]         [Am]         [C]  
There’s an old man sitting next to me  
[F]          [G]         [C]      [C]  
Making love to his tonic and gin  

[Instrumental]  
[C]  [G]  [Am]  [C]  [F]  [G]  [C]  [C]  [F]  [F]  

[Verse 2]  
[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]           [C]  
But it’s sad and it’s sweet and I knew it complete  
[F]        [G]             [C]      [C]  
When I wore a younger man’s clothes  

[Interlude]  
[Am]    [C]                  [D7]   [D7]   [Am]  
La da da     de de Da  
[C]            [D7]  [D7]          [G]  [G7] [G*] [G7*]  
da da     de de Da     da DA  

[Chorus]  
[C]         [G]             [Am]        [C]  
Sing us a song you’re the piano man  
[F]         [C]       [D]     [G]  
Sing us a song tonight  
[C]          [G]          [Am]     [C]  
Well we’re all in the mood for a melody  
[F]             [G]           [C]     [C]  
And you’ve got us feeling all right  

[Instrumental]  
[C] [G] [Am] [C] [F] [G] [C] [C] [F] [F] [C] [C] [F] [F]  

[Verse 3]  
[C]           [G]        [Am]            [C]  
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine  
[F]          [C]          [D]     [G]  
He gets me my drinks for free  
[C]            [G]          [Am]            [C]  
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke  
[F]              [G]           [C]      [C]  
But there's someplace that he'd rather be  

[C]         [G]             [Am]            [C]  
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."  
[F]         [C]             [D]     [G]  
As the smile ran away from his face  
[C]           [G]          [Am]           [C]  
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star  
[F]           [G]           [C]      [C]  
If I could get out of this place"  

[Interlude]  
[Am]    [C]                  [D7]   [D7]   [Am]  
La da da     de de Da  
[C]            [D7]  [D7]          [G]  [G7] [G*] [G7*]  
da da     de de Da     da DA  

[Verse 5]  
[C]         [G]           [Am]         [C]  
Now Paul is a real estate novelist  
[F]         [C]          [D]     [G]  
Who never had time for a wife  
[C]            [G]          [Am]           [C]  
And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy  
[F]        [G]           [C]      [C]  
And probably will be for life  

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

[Chorus]  
[C]         [G]               [Am]        [C]  
Sing us a song you’re the piano man  
[F]         [C]       [D]     [G]  
Sing us a song tonight  
[C]          [G]          [Am]     [C]  
Well we’re all in the mood for a melody  
[F]             [G]           [C]     [C]  
And you’ve got us feeling all right  

[Verse 6]  
[C]           [G]           [Am]        [C]  
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday  
[F]       [C]          [D]     [G]  
And the manager gives me a smile  
[C]               [G]               [Am]        [C]  
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see  
[F]            [G]          [C]     [C]  
To forget about life for a while  

[C]         [G]             [Am]        [C]  
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival  
[F]         [C]             [D]     [G]  
And the microphone smells like a beer  
[C]          [G]           [Am]          [C]  
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar  
[F]             [G]         [C]     [C]  
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"  

[Interlude]  
[Am]    [C]            [D7]   [D7]   [Am]  
La da da     de de Da  
[C]            [D7]  [D7]    [G]  [G7] [G*] [G7*]  
da da     de de Da     da DA  

[Chorus]  
[C]         [G]               [Am]        [C]  
Sing us a song you’re the piano man  
[F]         [C]       [D]     [G]  
Sing us a song tonight  
[C]          [G]          [Am]     [C]  
Well we’re all in the mood for a melody  
[F]             [G]           [C]     [C]  
And you’ve got us feeling all right
