| It's nine o'clock on a Saturday |
| F/E D G |
| The regular crowd shuffles in |
| C C/B Am G |
| There's an old man sitting next to me |
| F G C |
| Makin' love to his tonic and gin |
| Bridge: |
| C C/B Am G F G C C6 |
| C C/B Am G |
| He says, "Son, can you play me a memory |
| F F/E D G |
| I'm not really sure how it goes |
| C C/B |
| But it's sad and it's sweet |
| Am G |
| And I knew it complete |
| F G C |
| When I wore a younger man's clothes." |
| Am G D/F# F Am |
| Laaa la la, li la laaa |

| Now John at the bar is a friend of mine |
| F F/E D G |
| He gets me my drinks for free |
| C C/B |
| And he's quick with a joke |
| Am G |
| And he'll light up your smoke |
| F G4 C C4 |
| But there's some place that he'd rather be |
| C |
| He says, "Bill, |
| C/B Am G |
| I believe this is killing me." |
| F F/E D G |
| As his smile ran away from his face |
| C C/B Am G |
| "Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star |
| F G4 C |
| If I could get out of this place" |
| Am G D/F# F Am |
| Ohh laaa la la, li la laaa |

| C C/B Am G |
| Now Paul is a real estate novelist |
| F F/E D G |
| Who never had time for a wife |
| C C/B |
| And he's talkin' with Davy, |
| Am G |
| Who's still in the Navy |
| F G4 C |
| And probably will be for life |
| Bridge: |
| C C/B Am G F G C C4 |
| C C/B Am G |
| And the waitress is practicing politics |
| F F/E D G |
| As the businessman slowly gets stoned |
| C C/B |
| Yes, they're sharing a drink |
| Am G |
| They call loneliness |
| F G4 C |
| But it's better than drinkin' alone |

| It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday |
| F F/E D G |
| And the manager gives me a smile |
| C C/B |
| 'Cause he knows that it's me |
| Am G |
| They've been comin' to see |
| F G4 C C4 |
| To forget about life for a while |
| C C/B Am G |
| And the piano, it sounds like a carnival |
| F F/E D G |
| And the microphone smells like a beer |
| C C/B |
| And they sit at the bar |
| Am G |
| And put bread in my jar |
| F G4 C |
| And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?" |
| Am G D/F# F Am |
| Ohh laaa la la, li la laaa |
