Piano Man chords
Billy Joel  1973 *

Intro

C  G  F  C  F  C  D7  G   C  G  F  C   F  G  C    G

Verse 1

     C       G           F     C
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
    F        C               D7  G
The regular crowd shuffles in
   C        G        F        C
There's an old man sitting next to me
       F            G          C    G
Making love to his tonic and gin

  C             G          F    C
He says, "Son, can you play me a memory
    F           C            D7   G
I'm not really sure how it goes
 C             G            F           C
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
     F         G              C
When I wore a younger man's clothes."

Interlude

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

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
And you've got us all feeling alright
