FIRST VERSE: 
    C      G           Am      C        
Its nine o'clock on a saturday      
    F      C         D        G          
The regular crowd shuffles in
   C      G         Am         C        
There's an old man  sitting next to me  
        F          G         C      C
Making love to his tonic and gin 

C  G  Am  C  F  G  C  C  F  F

        C           G         Am     C     
He says son can you play me a memory   
     F          C           D      G
I'm not really sure how it goes
          C           G           Am           C    
But it's sad and its sweet and I knew it complete 
     F        G             C     C
when I wore a younger man's clothes 

Am    C  D7   D7   Am        
La da da     de de Da

da da     de de Da     da DA


CHORUS: 
C  G          Am        C   
Sing us a song you're the piano man     
F         C       D     G
Sing us a song tonight
            C          G          Am     C     
Well we're all in the mood for a melody   
    F             G           C     C
and you've got us feeling all right

C G Am C F G C C F F C C F F

I do "D U D U D U" so it kinda sounds like the way the piano goes in this song.
But I also have seen: D DUDU

About this song: Piano Man

"Piano Man" was Billy Joel's first major hit and is considered Joel's signature song. The verses of the song are sung from the point of view of a bar piano player who focuses mainly on everyone else at the bar: John the bartender, the waitress, and bar regulars like Paul and Davy. Most of these characters have unfulfilled dreams, and the pianist's job, it seems, is to help them "forget about life for a while".
