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.

SUMMER, HIGHLAND FALLS (Billy Joel)
Intro: F(no 3) Fmaj7 Gm7 Bb+2 Am7C Bb+2 FFmaj7 They say that these are not the best of times Gm7 Bb+2 FFmaj7Gm7 Bb+2 But they're the only times I've ever known FFmaj7Gm7 And I believe there is a time for meditation Bb+2 CGC In cathedrals of our own A7DmC Bb+2 F Now I've seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes G7sus G7 Csus C And I can only stand apart and sympathize BbFGm7 For we are always what our situations hand us C Bb+2 EbBb It's either sadness or euphoria
So we'll argue and we'll compromise And realize that nothing's ever changed For all our mutual experience Out separate conclusions are the same. Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity Our reason coexists with our insanity And though we choose between reality and madness It's either sadness or euphoria
DmC Bb+2 F How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies G7sus G7 Csus C Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies BbFGm7 And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives C Bb+2 EbBb With our respective similarities CF It's either sadness or euphoria.
