Biography:
Billy Joel (born William Martin Joel on May 9, 1949 in Bronx, New York, USA) is an American pianist, singer-songwriter, and composer. Since releasing his first hit song, "Piano Man," in 1973, Joel has become a multi-million-selling recording artist. Joel recorded many popular hit songs and albums from 1971 until he stopped recording pop/rock music in 1993. He is one of the very few rock (or even pop) artists to have Top 10 hits in the '70s, '80s, and '90s.

Turnstiles, 1976
Billy Joel (the greatest of all time)

G D
There's a place in the world for the angry young man
Am7 D
With his working class ties and his radical plans
G D
He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl,
Am7 D
And He's always at home with his back to the wall.
F G/B C
And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost,
G/B A D
And he struggles and bleeds as he hangs on his cross-
G D Cmaj7 D G/B C Am7 G/B C F C
And he likes to be known as the angry young man.
LEAD IN: Cmaj7 D G/B C Am7 G/B C
G D
Give a moment or two to the angry young man,
Am7 D
With his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand.
G D
He's been stabbed in the back, he's been misunderstood,
Am7 D
It's a comfort to know his intentions are good.
F G/B C
And he sits in a room with a lock on the door,
G/B A D
With his maps and his medals laid out on the floor
G D Cmaj7 D G/B C Am7 G/B C
And he likes to be known as the angry young man.
F Gm7
I believe I've passed the age
Bb C
Of consciousness and righteous rage
F Bb
I found that just surviving
C D
was a noble fight.
G Am7
I once believed in causes too,
C D
I had my pointless point of view,
G/B C A
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.
D
Oh.
G D
And there's always a place for the angry young man,
Am7 D
With his fist in the air and his head in the sand.
G D
And he's never been able to learn from mistakes,
Am7 D
So he can't understand why his heart always breaks.
F G/B C
And his honor is pure and his courage as well,
G/B A D
And he's fair and he's true and he's boring as hell-
G D Cmaj7 D G/B C Am7 G/B C
And he'll go to the grave as an angry old man.
Instrumental: F Gm7 Bb C F Bb C D G Am7 C D G/B C A D
