Piano Man - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
This song was the breakthrough for Billy Joel in 1973, and the scene is taken from his days as a lounge singer in LA. William Martin Joel is a singer/songwriter and later on serious composer, recording classical compositions. Joel *is* a piano man. This song originally contains an interlude which I've skipped to comfort most people with non-pro skills. It's just as good without. In fact; I've never even tried myself.G Bm Em Em7 C Am A ... D7 it's nine o'clock on a Saturday the regular crowd shuffles in G Bm Em ... Em7 there's an old man sitting next to me C D7/9 G making love to his tonic and gin G Bm Em Em7 C Am A ... D7 he says "Son can you play me a memory I'm not really sure how it goes G Bm C Em but it's sad and it sweet and I knew it complete C D7/9 G when I wore a younger man's clothes" Em D ... D7 D6 D da da da de de da da da de de da dum G G/F# Em sing us a song : you're the piano man C A D ... D7 sing us a song tonight G G/F# Em we're all in the mood for a melody C D7/9 G and you've got us feeling all right
