It's [Bm] nine o'clock on [Am] a Saturday
[F] Regular crowd [G] shuffles in
[C] There's an old [Bm] man sitting next to me
[F] Making love [G] to his sonic [C] engine
He says, son, can [D] you play [Am] me a memory?
[F] I'm not really sure [G] how it goes
But it's [A] sad and it's [Am] sweet and I knew it complete fact
When I [G] wore a young [C] man's clothes
Oh, la da da [F] da da da da
[G] La da da da da da [F]
da
Oh, oh, oh
[C] Sing us a song, [Am] you're the ghetto man
[F] Sing us a song [G]
tonight
[C] Cause we're all [G] in the mood for [Am] a melody
[F] And [G] you've got us feeling
[C] alright
[C]
Feeling alright
Now John at the [Am] bar, he's a friend of mine
[F] He gets me my drinks [G] for free
[C] And he's quick with a joke, or [Am] a line with your smoke
But there's some [G] place that he'd rather be
[C] He says, Bill, [G] I believe this [Am] is killing [Em] me
As [F] the smile ran away from [G] his face
Oh, [C] I'm sure that I could [Am] be a movie star
If I [G] could get out [C] of this place
[Am] Oh, la da da da da da
Oh, la da da da da
[F]
[G] Oh, oh, oh
[C] Sing us a song, [Am] you're the ghetto man

And you've [G] got us feeling [C] alright
Feeling alright
Now Paul, [G] he's a real [Am] estate novelist
[Em] Who [F] never has time [G] for a wife
And [C] he's talking [D] with Dave, [Am] who's still in [Em] the Navy
And [G] probably will be
[C] And the waitress is practicing [Am] politics
As [F] the businessman's scrolling [G] in stone
[C] Yes, they're sharing a drink, [Am] they call loneliness
[F] But it's better than [C] drinking alone
Oh, [Am] la da da da da da
La da da da [F] da da
Oh, [G]
[C] it's a pretty good crowd [Am] for a Saturday
[C] [F] And the manager gives me a [G] smile
Cause [C] he knows that [G] it's me [Am] they've been coming [C] to see
To [G] forget about life [C] for a while
And the piano, it sounds [Am] like a carnival
[F] And the microphone smells [G] like a beer
[C] And they sit at the bar and [Am] put bread in my jar
