Tabbed by: Jeff Rivers

I tabbed this out originally just for my own sake, entitling the file "The
Singalongest Time" (considering that's exactly what I was designing it for;
to give myself a little accompaniment seeing as I don't have an a capella
group comprised solely of Billy Joel or anyone else for an entourage.)  I
ended up liking the result so much that I thought I'd make it my first tab
ever shared with the WWW.

(For bassists, you can pretty much just follow along with the lowest string
tabbed, as I more or less "composed" this with the formula: one bass note +
one harmonizing note.)

Oh yeah, and I did it in dropped-D, Capo 1, just to be a bastard.

Don't worry, you'll like it.


Dropped-D
Capo: 1

INTRO:
e |----------------------------------------------------------------|

D |4---2---0---4---0-------4-------4---2---0---4-------------------|

A |4---1---2-------4-----------------------------------------------|

Repeat [INTRO],[VERSE]


BRIDGE:

Arpeggiate these chords twice each (como "0-2-2-2, 0-2-2-2," etc): 
A   x0222x
Bm  x2443x
C#7 x4342x
D   0x423x

F#m 4x422x
Bm  x2443z
E7  22x13x
A   (see below)

(** Where I've placed X's above, simply don't bother to arpeggiate those
strings! **)


Climb back to the VERSE with the A chord varied like so:
----------------|
2---2-2---------|
2---2-2-4---0---|
--------0---2---|
0---0---2---4---|
----------------|

[VERSE], [BRIDGE], [VERSE]

...then INTRO section to fade.  I'll possibly revise this tab with an ending
you can play live at some point.




**********

Please feel free to email me whether you appreciate this (again: my first
tab) or have gripes about something I overlooked in the tabbing process.  My
meter in the tab should be pretty damned precise, but who knows what I may
have screwed up.  I'm currently exhausted.

Billy Joel is the man for this song (and many others).

Hope you've enjoyed my rendition!
