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.

OYSTER BAY
BILLY JOEL
INTRO:
Em
VERSE:
Em A
From my room, I see the blue Pacific Ocean
F G G Bm
Yes, my hotel has me right beside the shore
Em G
Well, today it's San Francisco
A
And tomorrow it's L.A.
F G G
And I feel as though I've been this way before
VERSE:
Em A
Well my woman helps my feet to keep on walkin'
F G G
But my manager he stands right outside the door
Bm Em
Yes, there's an up 'n' comin' superstar
A
And he's gettin' rave revues
F C C
But there ain't no time for fishin' anymore
CHORUS:
C Em
I never thought that things would go this far
C Em
I never thought that life would be this way
C Em
I never thought I'd be a superstar
Dm
And Jesus Christ
Em
I wish that I
F
Was back in Oyster Bay
F Bb F C F C F B
Takin' it easy... Oh yeah...
VERSE:
B Em A
But there's lots of friendly folks that say "good morning"
F G G Bm
But somehow you know I just don't believe their smiles
Em
I'd be New York City bound
A
Where I could be among my friends
F G G
But the road back home it seems a million miles
VERSE:
Em A
I can see the lights of Hollywood below me
F G G
But somehow they just don't move me like they should
Bm Em
I know it's hard to understand
A
But I would be a fisherman
F
If I only had the chance,
C C
You know I would
CHORUS:
C Em
I never thought that things would go this far
C Em
I never thought that I'd be here today
C Em
I never thought I'd be a superstar

Oh, and Jesus Christ

I wish that I

Was back in Oyster Bay

Takin' it easy... Oh yeah...

Wanting it back sometimes, wanting to be so kind
C G Bb F
Be with my wife all day, happy to be that way
