It's nine o'clock on a Saturday,
F           Em             D      G
The regular crowd shuffles in
 C             E5           Am         G
There's an old man sitting next to me,
   F               G            C
Making love to his tonic and gin

He says son can you play me a memory,
  F            Em           D       G
I'm not really sure how it goes
   C               E5             Am             G
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete,
   F            G             C
When I wore a younger man's clothes
 
 
[Bridge 2]

Sing us a song  tonight

Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
      F             G          C
And you've got us feeling alright

    C            E5      Am              G
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine,
   F          Em           D       G
He gets me my drinks for free
          C            E5           Am           G
And he's quick with a joke and a light of your smoke,
    F                            G          C
But there's some place that he'd rather to be
 
 
   C           E5              Am          G
He says Bill I believe this is killing me,
     F            Em             D       G
as the smile ran away from his face
         C           E5          Am        G
Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star,
   F           G            C
If I could get out of this place
 
 
[Bridge 2]
 
Am              G
Da da da     de de Da
Am            D            G

Now Paul is a real estate novelist,
   F         Em             D      G
who never had time for a wife
      C              E5            Am           G
And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the navy,
  F           G             C
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practising politics,
    F               Em             D       G
As the businessmen slowly gets stoned
             C          E5               Am        G
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness,
      F                 G            C
But it's better than drinking alone
 
 
[Chorus]
 
   C        E5            Am         G
Sing us a song you're the piano man,
F         Em         D     G
Sing us a song tonight

And you've got us feeling alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday,
    F            Em           D      G
And the manager gives me a smile
         C              E5               Am           G
Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see,
  F              G         C
To forget about life for a while
 
 
   C          E5            Am          G
And the piano sounds like a carnival,
      F            Em             D      G
And the microphone smells like a beer
        C           E5           Am           G
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar,
     F               G            C
And say man what are you doing here?
 
 
[Bridge 2]

Sing us a song  tonight
          C            E5          Am     G
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody,
   F                G         C
And you've got us feeling alright
