Everybody Loves You Now Chords

   
This song is originally from Billy's first solo album, Cold Spring Harbor, released
November 1971. A fantastic live version of this song is on Songs In The Attic, Billy Joel's
first live album, which was recorded in June - July 1980 during the Glass Houses tour 
and was released September 10, 1981. Songs In The Attic features songs from Cold Spring
Harbor in a better form, since Billy's first album was sped up in studio and he "sounded 
like a chipmunk." He wasn't happy with the sound of the album, so Songs In The Attic 
was a way to make it better and sound more raw and personal.

Dm            F                 G
You have lost you innocence somehow
F                        C
But everybody loves you now

Bb               F                  C
Ah, you know that nothing lasts forever
Bb              F          C
And it's all been done before
Bb          F            C                      Am
Ah, but you ain't got the time to go to Cold Spring Harbor
G F#dim   Fm
No more

C                               Dm
See how all the people gather 'round
F                                  C
Hey, isn't it a thrill to see them crawl?
C                                     Dm
Keep your eyes ahead and don't look down
F                                           C
Yeah, and lock yourself inside your sacred wall

Dm              F                    G
This is what you wanted; ain't you proud?
F                  G         C
'Cause everybody loves you now

This is a very fun song to play, just like all of Billy Joel's songs. The man's a hit-maker.
Stay groovy and keep on rockin'.
