Piano Man 
     E      B/D#       C#m      C#m/B 
It's nine o'clock on a saturday 
    A       E/G#           F#7   B 
The regular crowd shuffles in 
           E   B/D#        C#m     E/B 
There's an old man sittin' next to me 
        A          A/B       E      A/E  B/E  A/E 
Makin' love to his tonic and gin 
 
 
She's Always A Woman 
        B           E              B              E 
She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes 
                      A              A6     A 
And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies 
        B      E              B            G#7 
And she only reveals what she wants you to see 
    C#m7         E/B             A        B7       E      E/D# 
She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me

Why are you still so afraid? mmmmm
