Version 1[Intro] Dm A Dm [Verse] 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? Dm [Verse] 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. [Chorus] 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] Gm Why ask how I feel, C Well, how does it look to you? Am I fell hook, line, and sinker, Dm Lost my captain and my crew. Dm [Verse] 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. C Dm Em F Em Dm [Verse] 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. Dm [Verse] 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, [Chorus] F I'm a million miles away, Dm A million miles away, Bb A7 Dm I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay, F I'm a million miles away, Dm A million miles away, Bb A7 Dm I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay, (repeat and fade)
