Shes Right On Time

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.

Uncommon Chord Voicings for Solo Guitar

Fmaj7add10 = x87555
C#dim = x42020
F#m(addb5)/C# = x4421x (easier to play alternative is F#m/C# - x44222)

Any other split chords with an E on the bottom (most of the song) can be
played with an open bottom fret.

If you have a band, the guitar should play the top chord with the normal
voicing, and the bass player should play the bottom line.
