It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in
C C/B Am C/G F G11 C
There's an old man sitting next to me making love to his tonic and gin

C C/B Am C/G F C/E D7 G
He says son, can you play me a memory I'm not really sure how it goes
C Em/B Am C/G F G11 C
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes

C Em/B Am C/G F C/E D7 G
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine, he gets me my drinks for free
C Em/B Am C/G F G11 C
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke but there's some place that he'd rather be
F/C C Em/B Am C/G F C/E D7 G
He says Bill I believe this is killing me as the smile ran away from his face
C Em/B Am C/G F G11 C
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
C Em/B Am C/G F G11 C
And he's talking with Davy who's still in the navy and probably will be for life

[Verse]
C Em/B Am C/G F C/E D7 G
And the waitress is practising politics as the businessmen slowly get stoned
C Em/B Am C/G F G11 C
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness but it's better than drinking alone

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday and the manager gives me a smile
G C C/B Am C/G F G11 C
Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see, to forget about life for a while
C F/C Cmaj7 G11 C C/B Am C/G F C/E D7
And the piano sounds like a carnival and the microphone smells like a beer
C C/B Am C/G F G11 C
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar and say man what are you doing here?
[Bridge]
