        OYSTER BAY
        BILLY JOEL

INTRO:
E minorEm

VERSE:
     E minorEm              A augmentedA
From my room, I see the blue Pacific Ocean
     FF               G+G  G+G B minorBm
Yes, my hotel has me right beside the shore

     E minorEm        G+G
Well, today it`s San Francisco
    A augmentedA
And tomorrow it`s L.A.
    FF                  G+G  G+G
And I feel as though I`ve been this way before

VERSE:
    E minorEm               A augmentedA
Well my woman helps my feet to keep on walkin`
    FF                  G+G  G+G
But my manager he stands right outside the door

B minorBm       E minorEm
Yes, there`s an up `n` comin` superstar
     A augmentedA
And he`s gettin` rave revues
      FF              C majorC  C majorC
But there ain`t no time for fishin` anymore


CHORUS:
C majorC                 E minorEm
 I never thought that things would go this far
C majorC                E minorEm
 I never thought that life would be this way
C majorC             E minorEm
 I never thought I`d be a superstar

   DmDm
And Jesus Christ
  E minorEm
I wish that I
   FF
Was back in Oyster Bay
      FF  Bb majorBb   FF   C majorC FF C majorC FF BB
Takin` it easy... Oh yeah...

VERSE:
BB       E minorEm                  A augmentedA
 But there`s lots of friendly folks that say `good morning`
     FF                    G+G  G+G B minorBm
But somehow you know I just don`t believe their smiles

    E minorEm
I`d be New York City bound
       A augmentedA
Where I could be among my friends
     FF                 G+G  G+G
But the road back home it seems a million miles


VERSE:
   E minorEm               A augmentedA
I can see the lights of Hollywood below me
     FF                   G+G  G+G
But somehow they just don`t move me like they should
  B minorBm    E minorEm
I know it`s hard to understand
      A augmentedA
But I would be a fisherman
   FF
If I only had the chance,
       C majorC  C majorC
You know I would


CHORUS:
C majorC                 E minorEm
 I never thought that things would go this far
C majorC               E minorEm
 I never thought that I`d be here today
C majorC             E minorEm
 I never thought I`d be a superstar

     DmDm
Oh, and Jesus Christ
  E minorEm
I wish that I
   FF
Was back in Oyster Bay
      FF  Bb majorBb   FF   C majorC FF C majorC FF G minorGm FF
Takin` it easy... Oh yeah...
