{comment: Verse 1}
It's [C]nine o'[G]clock on a [F]Satur[C]day
The [F]regular [C]crowd shuffles [D7]in[G]
There's an [C]old man [G]sitting [F]next to [C]me
[F]Making love to his [G]tonic and [C]gin[G]

He says, "[C]Son, can you [G]play me a [F]memo[C]ry
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 I [F]wore a [G]younger man's [C]clothes."

{comment: Interlude}
[Am]la la la, di da [D7]da
[Am]La la, di di [D7]da da [G]dum[F][C][G7]

{start_of_chorus}
[C]Sing us a [G]song, you're the [F]piano [C]man
[F]Sing us a [C]song to[D7]night[G]
Well, we're [C]all in the [G]mood for a [F]melo[C]dy
And [F]you've got us [G]all feeling al[C]right[G]
{end_of_chorus}

{comment: Verse 2}
Now [C]John at the [G]bar is a [F]friend of [C]mine
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 [C]smoke
But there's [F]some place that [G]he'd rather [C]be[G]

He says, "[C]Bill, I be[G]lieve this is [F]killing [C]me."
As the [F]smile ran a[C]way from his [D7]face[G]
"Well I'm [C]sure that I [G]could be a [F]movie [C]star
If I [F]could get [G]out of this [C]place"

[Am]la la la, di da [D7]da
[Am]La la, di di [D7]da da [G]dum[F][C][G7]

{comment: Verse 3}
Now [C]Paul is a [G]real estate [F]novel[C]ist
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 [C]Navy
And [F]probably [G]will be for [C]life[G]

And the [C]waitress is [G]practicing [F]poli[C]tics
As the [F]businessman [C]slowly gets [D7]stoned[G]
Yes, they're [C]sharing a [G]drink they call [F]loneli[C]ness
But it's [F]better than [G]drinking a[C]lone[G]

{start_of_chorus}
[C]Sing us a [G]song, you're the [F]piano [C]man
[F]Sing us a [C]song to[D7]night[G]
Well, we're [C]all in the [G]mood for a [F]melo[C]dy
And [F]you've got us [G]all feeling al[C]right[G]
{end_of_chorus}

{comment: Verse 4}
It's a [C]pretty good [G]crowd for a [F]Satur[C]day
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 [C]see
To for[F]get about [G]life for a[C]while[G]

And the [C]piano, it [G]sounds like a [F]carni[C]val
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 [C]jar
And say, "[F]Man, what are [G]you doing [C]here?"[G]
