INTRO FIRST VERSE: Its nine o’clock on a saturday The regular crowd shuffles in There’s an old man sitting next to me Making love to his tonic and gin He says son can you play me a memory I’m not really sure how it goes But it’s sad and its sweet and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man’s clothes La da da de de Da da da de de Da da DA CHORUS: Sing us a song you’re the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well we’re all in the mood for a melody and you’ve got us feeling all right VERSE 2 Now John at the bar – he’s a friend of mine, he gets me my drinks for free And he’s quick with a joke or to light up your smoke but there’s some place that he’d rather be He says bill I believe this is killing me, as the smile ran away from his face, Well I’m sure that I could be a movie star, if I could get out of this place La da da de de Da da da de de Da da DA VERSE 3 Now Paul is a real estate novelist who never had time for a wife And he’s talking with Davy who’s still in the navy and probably will be for life And the waitress is practising politics As the businessmen slowly get stoned yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness but its better than drinking alone PIANO SOLO CHORUS: Sing us a song you’re the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well we’re all in the mood for a melody and you’ve got us feeling all right VERSE 4 It’s a pretty good crowd for a saturday And the manager gives me a smile Cause he knows that it’s me they've been coming to see To forget about life for a while And the piano sounds like a carnival and the microphone smells like a beer And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar and say man what are you doing here? La da da de de Da da da de de Da da DA CHORUS: Sing us a song you’re the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well we’re all in the mood for a melody and you’ve got us feeling all right Chords -- - -- 1 1 0 0 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 2 3 3 x
