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
Dm
Verse 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,
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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,
