Billy Joel – Piano Man (Ukulele)

      C     G          Am        Am/G
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday

    F       C              D     G
The regular crowd shuffles in

           C     G         Am         Am/G
There's an old man sitting next to me

       F           F/G       C      
Making love to his tonic and gin

         C            G         Am      Am/G
He says, "Son can you play me a memory

   F           C           D      G
I'm not really sure how it goes

         C            G
But it's sad and it's sweet

      Am         Am/G
And I knew it complete

     F        F/G           C 
When I wore a younger man's clothes"

Am    Am/G     Am/F# F Am     Am/G     D   D7  G  F  Em  G
La La La La La La La       La La La La La La         

C         G               Am         Am/G
Sing us a song you're the piano man

F         C      D     G
Sing us a song tonight

           C          G          Am         Am/G
Well we're all in the mood for a melody

    F             F/G       C
And you've got us feeling alright

      C         G        Am               Am/G
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine

    F         C          D       G
He gets me my drinks for free

           C          G          Am            Am/G
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke

    F                      F/G         C      C C C
But there's someplace that he'd rather be

          C         G             Am          Am/G
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"

     F         C             D       G
As a smile ran away from his face

           C           G          Am         Am/G
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star

   F           F/G         C
If I could get out of this place"

   Am    Am/G     Am/F# F Am     Am/G     D   D7  G  F  Em  G
Oh La La La La La La La       La La La La La La         

    C         G           Am          Am/G
Now Paul is a real estate novelist

    F         C          D       G
Who never had time for a wife

         C            G           Am           Am/G
And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy

    F        F/G         C
And probably will be for life

        C           G          Am          Am/G
And the waitress is practicing politics

       F           C          D       G
As the businessmen slowly get stoned

            C         G               Am         Am/G
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness

         F           F/G      C
But it's better than drinking alone

C         G               Am          Am/G
Sing us a song you're the piano man

F         C      D       G
Sing us a song tonight

           C          G          Am         Am/G
Well we're all in the mood for a melody

    F             F/G     C
And you've got us feeling alright

       C           G           Am          Am/G
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday

        F       C          D       G
And the manager gives me a smile

          C               G               Am        Am/G
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see

      F         F/G        C       C C C
To forget about life for a while

        C     G             Am          Am/G
And the piano sounds like a carnival

        F       C                D       G
And the microphone smells like a beer

         C          G           Am          Am/G
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar

         F            F/G       C
And say "Man what are you doing here?"

   Am    Am/G     Am/F# F Am     Am/G     D   D7  G  F  Em  G
Oh La La La La La La La       La La La La La La         

C         G               Am          Am/G
Sing us a song you're the piano man

F         C      D       G
Sing us a song tonight

           C          G          Am         Am/G
Well we're all in the mood for a melody

    F             F/G     C
And you've got us feeling alright
