Piano Man - Billy Joel

I know there are several GREAT versions of this song posted already. I wanted to add one to my page with the timing as well. I have the specific notes, but most are played loosely to have the chord sound. I also added the last line of the verse to prompt the timing. This is the first song I have learned playing with the accompaniment. Awesome.
