Vienna – Billy Joel
[Intro]
| Bbaug | D7 Eb | Ebm/Gb F7 | Bb |
[Verse 1]
Gm Bb
Slow down you crazy child
F Ab
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
Eb Bb
But then if you're so smart tell me why
C D9sus4 D
Are you still so afraid
Gm Bb
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about
F Ab
You better cool it off before you burn it out
Eb
You got so much to do and only
Bb Am D9sus4 D
So many hours in a day
[Chorus]
Eb F
But you know that when the truth is told
Bb Dm/A
That you can get what you want
Gm Bb/F
Or you can just get old
Eb Am7 D7 Gm7 C7
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
Gb7
When will you realize
F Bb
Vienna waits for you
[Verse 2]
Gm Bb
Slow down you're doing fine
F
You can't be everything you want to be
Ab
Before your time
Eb Bb C D9sus4 D
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight, tonight
Gm Bb
Too bad but it's the life you lead
F
You're so ahead of yourself
Ab
That you forgot what you need
Eb
Though you can see when you're wrong
Bb Am D9sus4 D
You know you can't always see when you're right, you're ri - ight
[Chorus]
Eb F
You got your passion, you got your pride
Bb Dm/A Gm Bb/F
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied
Eb Am7 D7 Gm7 C7
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
Gb7
When will you realize
F Bb
Vienna waits for you
[Instrumental]
| Gm Bb | F Ab |
| Eb Bb | Am D9sus4 D |
[Chorus]
Eb F
Slow down you crazy child
Bb Dm/A
And take the phone off the hook
Gm Bb/F
And disappear for a while
Eb Am7 D7 Gm7 C7
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two
Gb7
When will you realize
F Bb
Vienna waits for you
Eb F
And you know that when the truth is told
Bb Dm/A
That you can get what you want
Gm Bb/F
Or you can just get old
Eb Am7 D7 Gm7 C7
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
Gb7
Why don't you realize
F Bb
Vienna waits for you
[Tag]
G7 Gb7 N.C.
When will you realize
F Bbaug
Vienna waits for you
[Outro]

Great job!
Just a note that it's a lot easier to play if you capo at III and adjust to key so the first chord on the verse is Em.
Thank you!

Well Done..(thanks for this, my personal fave from B.J.) :-D

I really like this tab, but I agree to capo on third fret and Em. I would also like to add that I like to play this song picking low E then high E, A then B. It makes the song more acoustic
