Play first verse as Instrumental:

It's [G] nine o'[D]clock on a [C] Saturday [G]
[C] The regular [G] crowd shuffles [A7] in [D] 
There's an [G] old man [D] sitting [C] next to me [G] 
Making [C] love to his [D] tonic and [G] gin [G]

Instrumental: [G] [D] [C] [G] [C] [D] [G] [G]

He says, [G] "Son can you [D] play me a [C] memory [G]
I'm [C] not really [G] sure how it [A7] goes [D]
But it's [G] sad and it’s [D] sweet and I [C] knew it complete [G] 
When [C] I wore a [D] younger man's [G] clothes" [G]

[Em] La, la-la, di-di [A7] da [A7]
[Em] La-la di-di [A7] da, da [D] dum [C]/[Bm]/[D7]/

CHORUS:
[G] Sing us a [D] song, you're the [C] piano man [G]
[C] Sing us a [G] song to-[A7]night [D]
Well, we're [G] all in the [D] mood for a [C] melody [G] 
And [C] you've got us [D] feeling all [G] right [G]

Instrumental: [G] [D] [C] [G] [C] [D] [G] [G]

Now [G] John at the [D] bar is a [C] friend of mine [G]
He [C] gets me my [G] drinks for free [A7] / [D]
And he's [G] quick with a [D] joke or to [C] light up your [G] smoke 
But there's [C] someplace that [D] he'd rather [G] be [G]/[C]/[C]

He says [G] "Bill, I be[D]lieve this is [C] killing me"[G]
As the [C] smile ran a[G]way from his [A7] face [D] 
"Well I'm [G] sure that I [D] could be a [C] movie star [G] 
If [C] I could get [D] out of this [G] place"[G]

Oh [Em] la, la-la, di-di [A7] da [A7]
[Em] La-la di-di [A7] da, da [D] dum [C]/[Bm]/[D7]/

Now [G] Paul is a [D] real estate [C] novelist [G]
Who [C] never had time [G] for a [A7] wife [D]
And he's [G] talking with [D] Davey who's [C] still in the [G] Navy 
And [C] probably [D] will be for [G] life [G]

Instrumental: [G] [D] [C] [G] [C] [D] [G] [G]
