Piano Man

Chords

Standard

Piano Man, simplified in a chord-melody style. I kept the vocal melody on the highest strings, and built the chords underneath it. This is kind of a "bare bones" arrangement, but there's enough here to work with, if you wanted to perform it.

Both verse and chorus use these changes:

          C           Em7            Am(m6)        C             F          
A||--10-|-10------10-|-10--8---7---|-8-----------|-------------|-3---3---3---|
E||-----|-8----------|-7-----------|-8-12-8------|-8-------8---|-1-----------|
C||-----|-9----------|-7-----------|-9-----------|-7-----------|-0-----------|
G||-----|-0----------|-0-----------|-------------|-5-----------|-2-----------|
          *   *   *    *   *   *     *    *   *    *   *   *     *   *   * 
  
  C             D7            G             C            Em7           Am(m6)                        
|-3---3---5---|-5-----------|---------10--|-10------10-|-10--8---7--|-8-----------|
|-0-----------|-5-----------|-7-----------|-8----------|-7----------|-8-12-8------|
|-0-----------|-7-----------|-7-----------|-9----------|-7----------|-9-----------|
|-0-----------|-5-----------|-7-----------|-0----------|-0----------|-------------|
  *   *   *     *   *   *     *   *   *     *   *   *    *   *   *    *    *   * 

  C             F            G7           C         F         Em        A7
|-------------|-0-------8--|-8---7------|-3-------|---------|---------|---------||
|-8-------5---|-1----------|-7-------8--|-0-------|-1-------|-3-------|-3-------||

  *   *   *     *   *  *    *   *   *     *  *  *    *  *  *  *  *  *   *  *  *

And then the "La - De - Da" part goes like this:

  Am            Am7           D7            F             Am                    
|-0-----------|-0---2---3---|-2-----------|-0-----------|-0-----------|
|-0-----------|-0-----------|-2-----------|-1-----------|-0-----------|
|-0-----------|-0-----------|-2-----------|-0-----------|-0-----------|
|-2-----------|-0-----------|-2---2-------|-2-----------|-2-----------|
  *   *   *     *   *   *     *   *   *     *   *   *     *   *   *    

  Am7           D7                       G          G7        CMaj7     G7
|-0---2---3--|-2----------|-2----------|-10-------|-8-------|-7-------|-5-------||

|-0----------|-2----------|-2---2------|-7--------|-7-------|-5-------|-4-------||
  *   *   *    *   *   *    *   *   *    *  *  *    *  *  *   *  *  *   *  *  *   

Possible lyric substitution:
"Sing us a song, Ukulele Man; sing us a song tonight..."
