Tabbed by: Jeff Rivers Email: j.monty.rivers @ gmail.com 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.

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! ~10/6
