It's nine [Em] o'clock on a [G] Saturday, _ [C] _
_ [F] the regular [C] crowd [E] shuffles in.
[G] _
[C] There's an old [G] man [Am] sitting next to [G] me, [F] making love [G] to his tonic [C] and gin.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [Am] _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C]
He says, son, can you [Em] play me [Am] a memory?
[D] _
[F] I'm not really [Am] sure how it goes.
[G] _
_ _ [C] It's [Bm] sweet and [Am] I know it [C] completes [F] when I [G] wore a younger [C] man's clothes.
_ [A] _ La [G] la la [D] dee da _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [E] _ dee da dee da.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] Sing us [Bm] a song. _
[Am] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] Sing us [Em] a [E] song tonight.
[A] _ [C] La la la dee da [Bm] _
_ [Am] dee da dee.
[C] _ _ [F] You've [G] got us feeling [C] all right. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _
_ _ Now John at [Bm] the bar [Am] is a friend of [G] mine.
[C] He gets me my [E] drinks for free.
_ _ [C] And he's quick with a [G] joke, [Am] ought to light up your [C] smoke.
[F] But there's some [G] place that he'd [C] rather be.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [C] _ [G] I believe this [Am] is killing [C] me.
[F] As the smile [C] ran away [E] from his face.
[G] _
[C] Well, I'm sure [Bm] I could be [Am] a movie [C] star.
[F] I could [G] get out of this [C] place.
_ _ [Am] La la [D] la dee da [F] dee _ [Am] da [Em] dee da.
La [E] la la dee da _ _ [G] _ [F] dee da dee da.
_ [Em] _
_ _ [G] _ [C] Now Paul [Em] is a real [Am] estate [G] novelist.
_ [C] I never had time for a [E] wife.
_ _ [C] And he's talking with [G]
Davey, [Am] who's still [G] in the Navy.
He [F] probably [G]
will [C] be polite. _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _ [F] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [C] And the [G] waitresses practice [Am] _
politics.
[Em] As [F] the businessmen [Em] saw against [E]
stone.
[G] Yes, [C] they're [Bm] sharing a drink they [Am] call [G] loneliness.
[F] But it's better [G] than [D] drinking alone at [Am] Anderson.

[C] It's a pretty [Em] good crowd [A] for a [G] Saturday.
[C] And the manager [E] gives me a smile.
_ [C] Because he knows [Bm] that it's me [Am] they've been coming [G] to see.
[F] Forget [G] about [C] life for a while.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
[C] The pawn smells [E] like a beer.
[G] _ [C] And they sit at the [G] bar.
And [Am] put bread in [G] my shower.
[F] And say, man, [G] what are you [C] doing here? _ _
La la la dee da [F] dee da.
La la [Am]
la [G] _ _ [E] dee da _ _
