C C/B Am Am/G
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
F C/E D7 G
The regular crowd shuffles in
C C/B Am Am/G
There's an old man sitting next to me
F G C C C C/B Am Am/G F G C C F/C F/C
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am Am/G
He says, "son, can you play me a memory?
F C/E D7 G
I'm not really sure how it goes
C C/B Am Am/G
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
F G C C
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
[Pre-Chorus]

[Verse]
C C/B Am Am/G
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
F C/E D7 G
He gets me my drinks for free
C C/B Am Am/G
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
F G C C F/C F/C
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
C C/B Am Am/G
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
F C/E D7 G
As the smile ran away from his face
C C/B Am Am/G
"well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
F G C C
If I could get out of this place"
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Am/G D/F# F
La la la, de de da

[Verse]
C C/B Am Am/G
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
F C/E D7 G
Who never had time for a wife
C C/B Am Am/G
And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy
F G C C C C/B Am Am/G F G C C F/C F/C
And probably will be for life
[Verse]
C C/B Am Am/G
And the waitress is practicing politics
F C/E D7 G
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
C C/B Am Am/G
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
F G C C
But it's better than drinkin' alone

[Verse]
C C/B Am Am/G
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
F C/E D7 G
And the manager gives me a smile
C C/B Am Am/G
'cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
F G C C F/C F/C
To forget about life for a while
C C/B Am Am/G
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
F C/E D7 G
And the microphone smells like a beer
C C/B Am Am/G
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
F G C C
And say, "man, what are you doin' here?"
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Am/G D/F# F
