Piano Man- Bill Joel When I looked, I could find no tabs online, only chords. These tabs reflect the original piano score because they were written from it. As such, octaves may be different, but the original melody and most of the chord spellings are the same.

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" Now Paul is a real estate novelist Who never had time for a wife And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy And probably will be for life 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 drinking alone Bridge: Oh La da da Da da da da Da da da da da da Chorus: 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 feeling alright Verse 3: 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 coming to see To forget about life for a while And the piano 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 doing here?" Bridge: Oh La da da Da da da da Da da da da da da Chorus: Sing us a song you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well we're all in the mood for a melody Ending: |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |----0-0----0-0------------| |----2-2----0-0---2-2---2--| |--3------2-------3-3---3--| |---------------5-----3----|
