Piano Man - Billie Joel


     C       G         Am
It's nine o'clock on a saturday
        F                  D    
The regular crowd shuffles in
           C    G          Am            
There's an old man sitting next to me
       F           G         C
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
          C             G        Am
He says, "son, can you play me a memory?
    F                      D
I'm not really sure how it goes
         C            G            Am
But it's sad and it's sweet and i knew it complete
     F        G             C
When i wore a younger man's clothes"

Am           G
La la la, de de da
Am           G     C
La la, de de da da da

Chorus:
C         G                Am
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
F              D
Sing us a song tonight
            C          G          Am
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
    F             G       C
And you've got us feelin' alright

    C           G        Am
Now john at the bar is a friend of mine
   F                     D
He gets me my drinks for free
         C            G          Am
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
            F              G           C
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
          C       G               Am
He says, "bill, i believe this is killing me."
       F                       D
As the smile ran away from his face
          C           G          Am
"well i'm sure that i could be a movie star
   F           G           C
If i could get out of this place"
    Am              G
Oh, la la la, de de da
Am           G     C
La la, de de da da da

    C         G           Am
Now paul is a real estate novelist
    F                    D
Who never had time for a wife
         C            G          Am
And he's talkin' with davy who's still in the navy
    F        G           C
And probably will be for life

        C           G          Am
And the waitress is practicing politics
       F                      D
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
             C         G               Am
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
         F           G        C
But it's better than drinkin' alone

Chorus

       C           G           Am
It's a pretty good crowd for a saturday
        F                  D
And the manager gives me a smile
          C               G               Am
'cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
   F            G          C
To forget about life for a while
        C         G             Am
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
        F                        D
And the microphone smells like a beer
         C          G           Am
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
          F             G         C
And say, "man, what are you doin' here?"

    Am              G
Oh, la la la, de de da
Am           G     C
La la, de de da da da

Chorus

Ketika Tangan dan Kaki Bicara - Chrisye


(Copas dari kamar sebelah)....
Kenangan Taufiq Ismail terhadap Chrisye

(hikmah alquran, sebuah sastra yg agung, mampu menggetarkan hati manusia)......

Suatu saat, Chrisye minta Taufiq Ismail untuk menuliskan syair religi untuk satu lagunya.
Dan disanggupi sebulan.Ternyata, minggu pertama macet, tidak ada ide. Minggu kedua macet, ketiga macet hingga menjelang hari terakhir masih juga tdk ada ide. Taufiq gelisah dan berniat telpon Chrisye dan bilang: Chris maaf, macet, ujar Taufiq.Malam harinya, Taufiq mengaji. Ketika sampai ayat 65 surat Yaasiin dia berhenti.

Makna ayat ini ttg Hari Pengadilan Akhir ini luar biasa, kata Taufiq. Dan segera dia pindahkan pesan ayat tersebut ke dalam lirik-lirik lagu.Ketika pita rekaman itu sdh di tangan Chrisye, terjadi hal yg tidak biasa. Ketika berlatih di kamar, baru dua baris Chrisye menangis, mencoba lagi, menangis lagi.

Dan begitu berkali2.Menurut Chrisye, lirik yg dibuat adalah satu2nya lirik paling dahsyat sepanjang karirnya.
Ada kekuatan misterius yg mencekam dan menggetarkan. Setiap menyanyi dua baris, air mata sdh membanjir. Yanti, istri Chrisye, sampai syok melihat hal tdk biasa tsb.Lirik lagu tsb begitu merasuk kalbu dan menghadapkan kenyataan betapa manusia tidak berdaya ketika hari akhir tiba. Sepanjang malam dia gelisah, lalu ditelponlah Taufiq dan diceritakan kegelisahannya.

Taufiq mengatakan bhw lirik lagu tsb diilhami surat Yaasiin: 65. Disarankan kepada Chrisye, agar tenang.Di studio rekaman hal itu terjadi lagi. Chrisye mencoba, tetapi baru dua baris sdh menangis. Dan berulang kali hasilnya sama.Erwin Gutawa yg menunggu sampai senewen.Yanti lalu shalat untuk khusus mendoakannya.

Akhirnya dengan susah payah, Chrisye berhasil menyanyikannya hingga selesai. Rekaman itu sekali jadi, tdk diulang karena Chrisye tak sanggup menyanyikannya lagi.-------

Inilah ayat yang menginspirasi lirik lagu tsb.....:

ﺍﻟْﻴَﻮْﻡَ ﻧَﺨْﺘِﻢُ ﻋَﻠَﻰٰ ﺃَﻓْﻮَﺍﻫِﻬِﻢْ ﻭَﺗُﻜَﻠِّﻤُﻨَﺎ ﺃَﻳْﺪِﻳﻬِﻢْ ﻭَﺗَﺸْﻬَﺪُ ﺃَﺭْﺟُﻠُﻬُﻢْ ﺑِﻤَﺎ ﻛَﺎﻧُﻮﺍ ﻳَﻜْﺴِﺒُﻮﻥَ
"Pada hari ini Kami tutup mulut mereka; dan berkatalah kepada Kami tangan mereka dan memberi
kesaksianlah kaki mereka terhadap apa yang dahulu mereka usahakan" [QS. Yaasiin(36): 65]

KETIKA TANGAN DAN KAKI BERKATA
Lirik : Taufiq Ismail
Lagu : Chrisye

Akan datang hari mulut dikunci
Kata tak ada lagi
Akan tiba masa tak ada suara
Dari mulut kita

Berkata tangan kita
Tentang apa yang dilakukannya
Berkata kaki kita
Kemana saja dia melangkahnya
Tidak tahu    bila harinya
Tanggung jawab tiba

Rabbana
Tangan kami
Kaki kami
Mulut kami
Mata hati kami
Luruskanlah
Kukuhkanlah
Di jalan cahaya…. sempurna

Mohon karunia
Kepada kami
HambaMu yang hina

So close your eyes
For that's a lovely way to be
Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see
The fundamental loneliness goes 
Whenever two can dream a dream together

You can't deny
Don 't try to fight the rising sea
Don't fight the moon, the stars above and don't fight me
The fundamental loneliness goes 
Whenever two can dream a dream together

When I saw you first the time was half past three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity

By now we know 
The wave is on its way to be
Just catch the wave don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes 
Whenever two can dream a dream together

Vou te contar, os olhos já não podem ver Coisas que só o coração pode entender Fundamental é mesmo o amor É impossível ser feliz sozinho O resto é mar, e tudo que eu não sei contar São coisas lindas que eu tenho pra te dar Vem de mansinho a brisa e me diz É impossível ser feliz sozinho Da primeira vez era a cidade Da segunda o cais e a eternidade Agora eu já sei, da onda que se ergueu no mar E das estrelas que esquecemos de contar O amor se deixa surpreender Enquanto a noite vem nos envolver

       D         D6       DM7              D6
It's impossible, tell the sun to leave the sky,
            C#m7-5    F#7
It's just impossible.
F#7     Bm              Am7         D7
It's impossible, ask a baby not to cry,
            F#m7-5   B7
It's just impossible.
B7    Em7             Gm7 C9
Can I hold you closer to   me,
        D              D7b9
And not feel you going through me,
          Em7           E7
split the second that I never think of you?
          Em7  A7  Em7 A7
Oh, how impossible.

#2.
A7      D     D6        DM7            D6
Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore?

It's just impossible.
      Em7                Gm7           C9
And tomorrow, should you ask me for the world,
            D               D7b9 
Somehow I'd get it, I would sell my very soul,
          Em7                              C7b9
And not regret it for to live without your love
          D6      D       
Is just impossible.

REPEAT #2.

ADD:
       D6          Bm7       Em7  C7b9    D6      G9 DM9
It's impossible, impossible, mmmm.......impossible.

Lestariku - Chrisye


Lentera  di  dalam  kalbu
Nampak  benderang  kini
Mengusik  tidurku
Terdengar  kicauan
Burung  menyambut  sang  surya
Dalam  nyanyian  bahagia
Seakan  damai  dunia  ini
Tiada  terperi
Selelap  tidurku
Serasa  alam  mimpi
Kubuka  jendela  kamarku
Terasa  sejuk  hawa
Merasuk  di  kalbu
Sudikah  kau  esok
Kujelang  sehangat  rindu
Semesra  kasih  dalam  pelukan
Dihiasi  bunga-bunga  aneka  rupawan
Kau  dambaan  insan
Sepanjang  masa  bagi  hidupku
Mungkinkah  kau  kan  kubawa  serta
Dalam  alunan  nada
Lestariku  bijana
Ataukah  hanya  angan  semata
Kumelambung  jauh  ke  alam  mimpi

==========With Chords============

LESTARIKU

Lady Valentine - David Gates



She's a real looker, she's my heart, my inspiration
Lucky is the man who finds a child of love
Like a haunting melody you long to sing forever
She always seems to wear so well with time

Everybody knows musicians need somebody special
Always just the same to keep the crazy down
Been around enough to know for me there's no one finer
And she's mine, she's my Lady Valentine

You’re the music, you’re my song
Here with me is where you belong
I need my February near
You’re the rhythm, your my rhyme
Keep me right in tune and time
And I'm so happy when you're here

Everybody needs somebody that you can be sure of
Life alone is nowhere that you want to be
I’m sendin’ this along and hopin' brother you've got yours
Cause I’ve got mine…got my Lady Valentine

========With Chord===============
