It's nine o'clock on a Saturday

The regular crowd shuffles in

There's an old man sittin'

F G C
Makin' love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son can you play me

a memory?

Now John at the bar is
F C
a friend of mine
F C D7 G
He gets me my drinks for free
C G
And he's quick with a joke
F C
or to light up your smoke
F G9
But there's someplace that he'd
C
rather be
[VERSE]
C G
He says, "Bill, I believe this is
F C
killing me"
F C D7 G
As a smile ran away from his face
C G
"Well, I'm sure that I could be
F C
a movie star
F G9 C
If I could get out of this place"

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
F C D7 G
Who never had time for a wife

F G9 C
And probably will be for life
[INTERLUDE]
C G F C
F C D7 G
[VERSE]

And the waitress is practicing
F C
politics
F C
As the businessmen slowly
D7 G
get stoned
C G
Yes they're sharing a drink

they call loneliness

But it's better than drinking alone

F C D7 G
And the manager gives me a smile
C G
'Cause he knows that it's me they've
F C
been coming to see
F G9 C
To forget about life for a while
[VERSE]
C G
And the piano sounds
F C
like a carnival
F C
And the microphone smells
D7 G
like a beer
C G
And they sit at the bar and put
F C
bread in my jar
F G9
And say "Man what are you doing
C
here?"
