Piano Man

Am D7

la la la, di da da

Am D7 G F C G7

La la, di di da da dum

[Chorus]

C G F C

Sing us a song, you're the piano man

F C D7 G

Sing us a song tonight

C G F C

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

F G C G

And you've got us all feeling alright

[Verse 2]

C G F C

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine

F C D7 G

He gets me my drinks for free

C G F C

And he's quick with a joke and he'll light up your smoke

F G C G

But there's some place that he'd rather be

C G F C

He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."

F C D7 G

As the smile ran away from his face

C G F C

"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star

F G C

If I could get out of this place"

[Interlude]

Am D7

la la la, di da da

Am D7 G F C G7

La la, di di da da dum

[Verse 3]

C G F C

Now Paul is a real estate novelist

F C D7 G

Who never had time for a wife

C G F C

And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy

F G C G

And probably will be for life

C G F C

And the waitress is practicing politics

F C D7 G

As the businessman slowly gets stoned

C G F C

Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness

F G C G

But it's better than drinking alone

[Chorus]

C G F C

Sing us a song, you're the piano man

F C D7 G

Sing us a song tonight

C G F C

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

F G C G

And you've got us all feeling alright

[Verse 4]

C G F C

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday

F C D7 G

And the manager gives me a smile

C G F C

'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see

F G C G

To forget about life for a while

C G F C

And the piano, it sounds like a carnival

F C D7 G

And the microphone smells like a beer

C G F C

And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar

F G C G

And say, "Man, what are you doing here?"

[Interlude]
