Intro Dm A Dm Dm F This hotel bar is full of people, Dm F The piano man is really laying it down, Dm F Even the old bartender is as high as a steeple, Bb A7 So why tonight should I wear a frown? Interlude DmVerse 1:
Dm F The joint is jumpin' all around me, Dm F And my mood is really not at style, Dm F Right now the blues want to surround me, Bb A7 Dm But I'll break out after a while.F Well I'm a million miles away, Dm I'm a million miles away, Bb A7 I'm sailing like a driftwood, Dm On a windy bay, F I'm a million miles away, Dm I'm a million miles away, Bb A7 But I'm sailing like a driftwood, Dm On a windy bay,Interlude DmVerse 1:
Gm Why ask how I feel, C Well, how does it look to you? Am I feel kind a sick, Dm Lost my captain and my crew.Interlude C Dm Em F Em DmVerse 2:
Gm I'm standing on the landing, C There's no one there but me, Am That's where you'll find me, Gm Looking out on the deep blue sea.Interlude DmVerse 1:
Dm F There's a song on the lips of everybody, Dm F There's a smile all around the room, Dm F There's conversation overflowing, Bb A7 But I sit here with the blues.Verse 1:
Dm F This hotel bar has lost its people, Dm F The piano man has caught the last bus home Dm F The old bartender just collapsed in the corner, Bb A7 Dm Why I'm still here, I just don't know,F I'm a million miles away, Dm ? million miles away, Bb A7 Dm I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay, F I'm a million miles away, Dm ? million miles away, Bb A7 Dm I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay, F I'm a million miles away, Dm ? million miles away, Bb A7 Dm I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay, F I'm a million miles away, Dm ? million miles away, Bb A7 Dm I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay,
