Biography:
Billy Joel (born William Martin Joel on May 9, 1949 in Bronx, New York, USA) is an American pianist, singer-songwriter, and composer. Since releasing his first hit song, "Piano Man," in 1973, Joel has become a multi-million-selling recording artist. Joel recorded many popular hit songs and albums from 1971 until he stopped recording pop/rock music in 1993. He is one of the very few rock (or even pop) artists to have Top 10 hits in the '70s, '80s, and '90s.

G D/F# Em Em/D
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
C G/B A7 D
The regular crowd shuffles in
G D/F# Em Em/D
There's an old man sitting next to me
C C/D G
Making love to his tonic and gin
G D/F# Em Em/D
He says, "Son, can you play me a memory
C G/B A7 D
I'm not really sure how it goes
G D/F# Em Em/D
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
C C/D G
When I wore a younger man's clothes."

G D/F# Em Em/D
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
C G/B A7 D
Sing us a song tonight
G D/F# Em Em/D
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
C C/D G
And you've got us all feeling alright
G D/F# Em Em/D
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
C G/B A7 D
He gets me my drinks for free
G D/F# Em Em/D
And he's quick with a joke and he'll light up your smoke
C C/D G
But there's some place that he'd rather be
G D/F# Em Em/D
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
C G/B A7 D
As the smile ran away from his face
G D/F# Em Em/D
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
C C/D G
If I could get out of this place"
Em Em/D Em/C# C

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
C G/B A7 D
Who never had time for a wife
G D/F# Em Em/D
And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy
C C/D G
And probably will be for life
G D/F# Em Em/D
And the waitress is practicing politics
C G/B A7 D
As the businessman slowly gets stoned
G D/F# Em Em/D
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
C C/D G
But it's better than drinking alone
G D/F# Em Em/D
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
C G/B A7 D
Sing us a song tonight
G D/F# Em Em/D
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
C C/D G
And you've got us all feeling alright
G D/F# Em Em/D
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
C G/B A7 D
And the manager gives me a smile
G D/F# Em Em/D
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
C C/D G
To forget about life for a while
G D/F# Em Em/D
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
C G/B A7 D
And the microphone smells like a beer
G D/F# Em Em/D
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
C C/D G
And say, "Man, what are you doing here?"
Em Em/D Em/C# C
