    Verse 1
    It's 
    nine 
    o’
    clock 
    on 
    saturday 

    The 
    regular 
    crowd 
    shuffles 
    in 

    There's 
    an 
    old 
    man 

    sittin' 
    next 
    to 
    me 

    Makin' 
    love 
    to 
    his 
    tonic 
    and 
    gin 



    He 
    says 

    "Son, 
    can 
    you 
    play 
    me 
    memory? 

    I'm 
    not 
    really 
    sure 
    how 
    it 
    goes 

    But 
    it's 
    sad, 
    and 
    it's 
    sweet, 

    and 
    knew 
    it 
    complete 

    When 
    wore 
    younger 
    man's 
    clothes" 

    Pre-chorus 1
    La, 
    la- 
    la, 
    di-dee- 
    da 

    la-la, 
    di-dee- 
    da 
    da- 

    dum 

    Chorus 1
    Sing 
    us 
    song, 
    you're 
    the 
    piano 
    man 

    Sing 
    us 
    song 
    tonight 

    Well, 
    we're 
    all 
    in 
    the 
    mood 
    for 
    melody 

    And 
    you've 
    got 
    us 
    feeling 
    al
    right 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 2
    Now 
    John 
    at 
    the 
    bar 
    is 
    friend 
    of 
    mine 

    He 
    gets 
    me 
    my 
    drinks 
    for 
    free 

    And 
    he's 
    quick 
    with 
    joke, 

    or 
    to 
    light 
    up 
    your 
    smoke 

    But 
    there's 
    someplace 

    that 
    he'd 
    rather 
    be 

    He 
    says, 

    "Bill, 
    believe 
    this 
    is 
    killing 
    me" 

    As 
    the 
    smile 
    ran 
    away 
    from 
    his 
    face 

    "Well 
    I'm 
    sure 
    that 
    could 

    be 
    movie 
    star 

    If 
    could 
    get 
    out 
    of 
    this 
    place" 

    Pre-chorus 2
    Oh, 
    la, 
    la-la, 
    di-dee- 
    da 

    la-la, 
    di-dee- 
    da 
    da- 

    dum 

    Verse 3
    Now 
    Paul 
    is 
    real 
    estate 
    novelist 

    Who 
    never 
    had 
    time 
    for 
    wife 

    And 
    he's 
    talkin' 
    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 
    drink 

    they 
    call 
    loneliness 

    But 
    it's 
    better 
    than 
    drinkin' 
    alone 

    Solo 1




    Chorus 2
    Sing 
    us 
    song, 
    you're 
    the 
    piano 
    man 

    Sing 
    us 
    song 
    tonight 

    Well, 
    we're 
    all 
    in 
    the

    And 
    you've 
    got

    Interlude 2




    Verse 4
    It's 
    pretty 
    good 
    crowd 
    for 
    saturday 

    And 
    the 
    manager 
    gives 
    me 
    smile 

    'Cause 
    he 
    knows 
    that 
    it's 
    me 

    they've 
    been 
    comin' 
    to 
    see 

    To 
    forget 
    about 
    life 
    for 
    while 

    And 
    the 
    piano, 
    it 
    sounds 

    like 
    carnival 

    And 
    the 
    microphone 
    smells 
    like 
    beer 

    And 
    they 
    sit 
    at 
    the 
    bar 

    and 
    put 
    bread 
    in 
    my 
    jar 

    And 
    say, 
    "Man, 
    what 
    are 
    you 
    doin' 
    here?" 

    Pre-chorus 3
    Oh, 
    la, 
    la-la, 
    di-dee- 
    da 

    la-la, 
    di-dee- 
    da

    Chorus 3
    Sing 
    us 
    song,

    Sing

    tonight 

    Well, 
    we're 
    all 
    in 
    the

    And 
    you've

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
