Turn the pagwe b seger
       Em              D   - A                          E                                     Em
On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can listen to the engines moaning out as one note song
You think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before
Em     D  a Em
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
A                                                                                                      Em
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through
D                          Em
Here I am - on the road again
There I am - up on the stage
Here I go - playing star again
C            D                      Em There I go - turn the page
So you walk into this restaurant strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
\
Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
     D
Oh, the same old clichs, "Is it woman? Is it man?"
      D
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand
                       Em
Make your stand
D                                  Em Here I am - on the road again
 There I am - up on the stageHere I go - playing star again
C             D                     Em  There I go - turn the page
Em
Oo-ooh, out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away
D
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
A                                                                                                   Em
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play, yeah

(only singing)
Later in the evening, you lie awake in bed
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringing in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said
What she said

He-ey

Yeah
D                                        Em
Here I am - on the road again
D                                        Em
There I am - up on the stage
D                                          Em
Here I go - playing star again
C            D                      Em
There I go - turn the page
C             D                      Em
There I go - turn that page
C
There I go, yeah, yeah
D
There I go, yeah, yeah
C
There I go, yeah
D
There I go, yeah
               

Movin' out

written and performed by Billy Joel
from "The Stranger", 1977
transcribed by Peter Eybert
Dm                   Gm                
Anthony works in the grocery store
C                      F
savin' his pennies for someday
Dm                Gm
Mama Leone left a note on the door,
         C                       F
she said "Sonny, move out to the country"
Dm                              Gm         
workin' too hard can give you a heart attack
Bb                   C
you ought to know by now
Dm                       Gm
who needs a house out in Hackensack?
   C                           F
Is that what you get with your money?
   Bb                    C
It seems such a waste of time
C7 A                     Dm
if that's what it's all about
   Bb                    A7         Dm
if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.

Seargent O'Leary is walkin' the beat
at night he becomes abartender
he works at Mister Cacciatore's down
on Sulliven Street
across from the medical center
he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac
you ought to know by now
and if he can't drive with a broken back
at least he can polish the fenders.
It seems such awaste of time
if that's what it's all about
if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.

You should never argue with a crazy mind
you ought to know by now
you can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
is that all you get for your money?
It seems such awaste of time
if that's what it's all about
if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.

NEW YORK STATE OF MIND Words & Music by Billy Joel
Album: Turnstiles (1976)
[C] Some folks like to [E7#9]get away
Take a [Am7]holiday from the [Gm7]neighbourhood [C7]
[F] Hop a flight to Mi[A7]ami Beach Or to [Dm7]Hollywood. [Bb9]
[C] But I'm [E7#9] takin' a [Am7]Greyhound [Cmaj7]
On the [F]Hudson [C]River line[D7]
[Fmaj7]I'm in a [G9sus]New York state of [Am7]mind [D7] [Am] [G] [G9sus]

I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens.
But I know what I'm needin'
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of [Am7]mind [G] [E7#9]

     [Am7] It was so [D7]easy livin' [Gmaj7] day by day
     [Gm7] Out of touch [C9] with the rhythm and [Fmaj7]blues
     [Bm7] And now I [E7]need a little [Amaj7] give and take
     The [Am7]New York [D7]Times
     The [Gmaj7]Daily News [Dm7] [G7sus4] [G7]

Comes down to reality
And it's fine with me, 'cause I let it slide
don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind [C]
[E7#9] [Am7] [Bb] [Eb6] [Ab] [Dm7] [C#9] [Cmaj9]

E                                                      Amaj7
Grew up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes
Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say
Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway

On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger for more than an empty fridge
Ab
I'm gonna make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams

ALTERNATE CHORDING
------------------
If you're a dude like me and you dig Ms. Keys but can't hit the notes well enough
in the orginal key try the following and move the capo up and down the neck until
you hit a range that you think you can handle.

For this example we'll play it down so even the high parts rest comfortably within a male range.

intro:     a   (4x) a                                                              bm 
friday night i crashed your party,     saturday i said i'm sorry
sunday came and trashed me out again.
i was only having fun,  
                g wasn't hurting anyone
             e    and we all enjoyed the
                           a        intro (2x) weekend for a change.                   i've been stranded  in the combat zone, i walked through bedford sty alone
even rode my motorcycle in the rain. and you told me not to drive,    but i made it home alive
so you said that only proves that i'm insane.
chorus:
                      e  you may be right,  
                  a i may be crazy
            e                     d
but it just may be a lunatic
               f#m         a -                     e
you're looking for
turn out the light, don't try to save me
                         d                  e                              
you may be wrong for all i know,
                            a      intro (4x)
but you may be right.
remember how i found you there,
alone in your electric chair i told you dirty jokes until you smiled.
you were lonely for a man,    i said take me as i am
cause you might enjoy  some madness for a while.
now think of all the years you tried  to find some one to satisfy you
i might be as crazy as you say. if i'm crazy then it's true,  
that it's all because of you and you wouldn't want me any other way.

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway
Bm         G                 A  I saw the Empire State laid low.
F#m7                          Bm        And life went on beyond the Palisades,
B7sus2          D  They all bought Cadillacs
A               G  And left there long ago.

D            G/B            D       A    They held a concert out in Brooklyn
Bm            G              A--Asus4-A  To watch the Island bridges blow.
