Billy Joel - Oyster Bay: chords

         Em                          A
From my room, I see the blue Pacific Ocean
         F                              G  Bm
Yes, my hotel has me right beside the shore
         Em               G
Well, today it's San Francisco
       A
And tomorrow it's L.A.
       F                                   G
And I feel as though I've been this way before

Well my woman helps my feet to keep on walkin'
But my manager he stands right outside the door
Yes there’s an up and coming superstar
and he's gettin' rave reviews
But there ain't no time for fishin' anymore

Chorus:
C                                 Em
I never thought that things would go this far
C                                Em
I never thought that life would be this way
C                        Em
I never thought I'd be a superstar
     Dm
And Jesus Christ
   Em
I wish that I
     F
Was back in Oyster Bay
           F A#     F C F C F B
Takin' it easy Oh yeah...

But there's lots of friendly folks that say,
"Good morning"
But somehow, you know, I don’t believe
their smiles
I could be New York City bound where
I could be among my friends
But the road back home it seems a million miles

I can see the lights of Hollywood below me
But somehow they just don’t move me
like they should
I know it's hard to understand, but
I would be a fisherman
If I only had the chance, you know I would

Chorus:
I never thought that things would go this far
I never thought that I’d be here today
I never thought I'd be a superstar
Oh, Jesus Christ, I wish that
I was back in Oyster Bay
Takin' it easy, oh yeah
