It's nine o'clock on a Saturday

The regular crowd shuffles in

There's an old man sitting next to me
F G C G
Making love to his tonic and gin
C G F C
He says, "Son, can you play me a memory
F C D7 G
I'm not really sure how it goes
C G F C
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete

When I wore a younger man's clothes."

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
F C D7 G
He gets me my drinks for free

And he's quick with a joke and he'll light up your smoke
F G C G
But there's some place that he'd rather be
C G F C
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."

As the smile ran away from his face

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
F C D7 G
And the manager gives me a smile
C G F C
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
F G C G
To forget about life for a while
C G F C
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival

And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
F G C G
And say, "Man, what are you doing here?"
