Piano man - Harmonica

 

 

67 -67 67 -56 56 -56 45

34.. -34 34 -34….

45 -45 67 -67 67 -56 56 -56 45…

34 -45 45 -34 34…

 

It's nine o'clock on a saturday

Regular crowd shuffles in

There's an old man sittin' next to me

Makin' love to his tonic and gin

 

Time 0.47

56 -56 67 -67 67 -56 56 -56 56

45 -56 56 -45 56

 

He says: "Son can you play me a memory?"

I'm not really sure how it goes

But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete

When I wore a younger man's clothes

 

La-la-la de-de da

La-la de-de da da-da

 

Time 1.23

-45 56 -56

 

Sing us a song you're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feelin' alright

 

Time 1.42

56 -56 67 -67 67 -56 56 -56 56

45 -56 56 -45 56

 

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine

He gets me my drinks for free

And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke

But there's someplace that he'd rather be

He says Bill I believe this is killing me

As a smile ran away from his face

Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star

If I could get out of this place

 

Oh, la-la-la de-de da

La-la de-de da da-da

 

Now Paul is a real estate novelist

Who never had time for a wife

And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy

And probably will be for life

 

Time 3.08

56 -56 67 -67 67 -56 56 -56 56

45 -56 56 -45 56

 

And the waitress is practicing politics

As the businessmen slowly get stoned

Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness

But it's better than drinkin' alone

 

(Piano Solo)

 

Time 3.39

-45 56 -56

 

Sing us the song you're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feelin' alright

 

Time 3.57

56 -56 67 -67 67 -56 56 -56 56

45 -56 56 -45 56

 

It's a pretty good crowd for a saturday

And the manager gives me a smile

'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see

To forget about life for a while

And the piano it sounds like a carnival

And the microphone smells like a beer

And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar

And say man what are you doin' here?

Oh, la-la-la de-de da

La-la de-de da da-da

 

Time 4.55

-45 56 -56

 

Sing us the song you're the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feelin' alright

 

Time 5.13

56 -56 67 -67 67 -56 56 -56 56

45 -56 56 -45 56
