Billy Joel - Piano Man Chords

[Opening]
It’s [G]nine o'[D]clock on a [C]Satur[G]day
[C]The regular [G]crowd shuffles [A7]in [D]
There’s an [G]old man [D]sitting [C]next to [G]me
Making [C]love to his [D]tonic and [G]gin [D]

[verse 2]
He says, [G]”Son can you [D]play me a [C]memo[G]ry
I’m [C]not really [G]sure how it [A7]goes [D]
But it’s [G]sad and it’s [D]sweet and I [C]knew it comp[G]lete
When [C]I wore a [D]younger man’s [G]clothes” [G]

[chorus]
[G]Sing us a [D]song, you’re the [C]piano [G]man
[C]Sing us a [G]song to[A7]night [D]

And [C]you’ve got us [D]feeling all [G]right [D]

[verse 3]
Now [G]John at the [D]bar is a [C]friend of [G]mine
He [C]gets me my [G]drinks for [A7]free [D]
And he’s [G]quick with a [D]joke or to [C]light up your [G]smoke
But there’s [C]someplace that [D]he’d rather [G]be [D]

[verse 4]
He says [G]”Bill, I be[D]lieve this is [C]killing [G]me”
As the [C]smile ran a[G]way from his [A7]face [D]
“Well I’m [G]sure that I [D]could be a [C]movie [G]star
If [C]I could get [D]out of this [G]place”

[verse 5]
Oh [Em]la, la la, di di [A7]da [A7]

[verse 6]
Now [G]Paul is a [D]real estate [C]nove[G]list
Who [C]never had time [G]for a [A7]wife [D]
And he’s [G]talking with [D]Davey who’s [C]still in the [G]Navy
And [C]probably [D]will be for [G]life [D]

[verse 7]
And the [G]waitress is [D]practicing [C]poli[G]tics
As the [C]businessman [G]slowly gets [A7]stoned [D]
Yes, they’re [G]sharing a [D]drink they call [C]lonel[G]ness
But it’s [C]better than [D]drinking a[G]lone [D]

[chorus]
[G]Sing us a [D]song, you’re the [C]piano [G]man
[C]Sing us a [G]song to[A7]night [D]

And [C]you’ve got us [D]feeling all [G]right [D]

[verse 8]
It’s a [G]pretty good [D]crowd for a [C]Satur[G]day
And the [C]manager [G]gives me a [A7]smile [D]
‘Cause he [G]knows that it’s [D]me they’ve been [C]coming to [G]see
To [C]forget about [D]life for a [G]while [D]

[Closing]
And the [G]piano, it [D]sounds like a [C]carni[G]val
And the [C]microphone [G]smells like a [A7]beer [D]
And they [G]sit at the [D]bar and put [C]bread in my [G]jar
And say, “[C]Man, what are [D]you doing [G]here?” [D]
