Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
I'm [C]rowing along,
saving up for a guitar
When [F]I was fifteen [C]and long and lean
And [F]just like that [C]grass boy
I was [F]green[C]
Delivering roses in Washington D .C.
Go[F]ing off to col[C]lege so I had to save up
But [F]de livering [C]roses really sucks
Sweating all summer in a [F]slimy tux
[C]But at [F]least I made a c[C]oup[F]le
buck[C]s[F][C][G][C]
Freshman in college
I was delivering pizza
But [F]to deliver one [C]pile,
a half an hour round trip
And [F]college kids, [C]man, they [G]don't [C]tip
And [F]so I [C]quit, and [F]it was their loss
[C]Cause I w[F]as the only driver,[C]
not [F]stealing from the boss
[C]And sip[F]honing gas[C] from stu
[F]dents' [C]cars[F][C]
Metropolitan Museum,
the telephone switchboard,
when a caller [F]would ask [C]for Philippe de Montebello,
I'd [F]transfer to [C]my apartment
where an unsuspecting fellow,
my [F]roommate Stu[C]art, so sound [F]asleep,
[C]But [F]answer the phone when he
heard the [C]beep
And pretty quick [F]they'd realize
that he wasn't [C]Philippe
[F]Whi[G]stling[C]
Information counter
at the Cloisters Museum
And [F]one day [C]Billy Joel [F]walks [C]in
I [F]take a [C]long, [F]long look at [C]him
A [F]dignified, old music man
[C]And [F]that's when I devised
my [C]plan[F][G][C]
And that little plan has
brought me here
When the spotlight [F]shines
[G]an d the people all cheer
[F]An d the pretty girls [G]flock from
far and near
[C]To touch [F]my hands [C]an d hear [F]my songs
[C]And [F]buy my t [C]-shirts and [F]sing [C]along
God [F]damn, this [C]sure beats
[G]mowing lawn[C]s[F][C][G]
