1. It’s C nine G o’clock on a F Saturday C
The F regular C crowd shuffles D7 in G
There’s an C old man G sitting F next to me C
Making F love to his G tonic and C gin G
He says, C "Son, can you G play me a F memory C
I’m F not really C sure how it D7 goes G
But it’s C sad and it’s G sweet and I F knew it com-C plete
When F I wore a G younger man’s C clothes."

Am la la la, di da D7 da
Am La la, di di D7 da da G F C G7 dum
2. C Sing us a G song, you’re the F piano man C
F Sing us a C song D7 tonight G
Well, we’re C all in the G mood for a F melody C
And F you’ve got us all G feeling C alright G
Now C John at the G bar is a F friend of mine C
He F gets me my C drinks for D7 free G
And he’s C quick with a G joke and he’ll F light up your smoke C
But there’s F some place that G he’d rather C be G
He says, C "Bill, I G believe this is F killing me." C
As the F smile ran C away from his D7 face G
"Well I’m C sure that I G could be a F movie star C
If F I could get G out of this C place"

Who F never had C time for a D7 wife G
And he’s C talking with G Davy, who’s F still in the Navy C
And F probably will G be for C life G
And the C waitress is G practicing F politics C
As the F businessman C slowly gets D7 stoned G
Yes, they’re C sharing a G drink they call F loneliness C
But it’s F better than G drinking C alone G
C Sing us a G song, you’re the F piano C man
F Sing us a C song D7 tonight G

And F you’ve got us all G feeling C alright G
It’s a C pretty good G crowd for a F Saturday C
And the F manager C gives me a D7 smile G
‘Cause he C knows that it’s G me they’ve been F coming to see C
To F forget about G life for a C while G
And the C piano, it G sounds like a F carnival C
And the F microphone C smells like a D7 beer G
And they C sit at the G bar and put F bread in my jar C
And say, F "Man, what are G you doing C here?" G
