[G#] [C#] [D#] //

VERSE 1:
[G#] Who draws the crowd and
[C#] plays so loud
Baby it's the
[D#] guitar man
[D#sus4] [D#] [D#sus2] [D#]
[G#] Who's going to steal the
[C#] show you know
Baby it's the
[D#] guitar man
[D#sus4] [D#] [D#sus2] [D#]
CHORUS 1:
He can
[Fm] make you love he can
[C#] make you cry
He will
[Fm] bring you down and he'll
[A#] get you high
[C#maj7] Something keeps him going
[Cm7] miles and miles a day
To
[A#m7] find another place to
[D# open] play
[D#sus4] [D#] [D#sus2] [D#]
VERSE 2:
[G#] Night after night, who
[C#] treats you right
Baby it's the
[D#] guitar man
[D#sus4] [D#] [D#sus2] [D#]
[G#] Who's on the radi-
[C#]-o you go to listen to
The
[D#] guitar man
[D#sus4] [D#] [D#sus2] [D#]
CHORUS 2:
When he
[Fm] comes to town and you
[C#] see his face
And you
[Fm] think you might like to
[A#] take his place
[C#maj7] Something keeps him drifting
[Cm7] miles and miles away
[A#m7] Searching for the songs to
[D# open] play
BRIDGE 1:
You
[A#m] listen to the
[A#m7M] music
And you
[A#m7] like to sing a-
[D#]-long
You
[G#] want to get the
[D#] meaning out
Of
[Fm] each and every
[F] song
And you
[A#m] find yourself a
[A#m7M] message
And some
[A#m7] words to call your
[D#] own
And take them
[F] home
[C#]
INSTRUMENTAL:
[G#] [C#] [D#] //
[D#sus4] [D#] [D#sus2] [D#]
[G#] [C#] [D#] //
[D#sus4] [D#] [D#sus2] [D#]
CHORUS 3:
He can
[Fm] make you love he can
[C#] get you high
He will
[Fm] bring you down and he'll
[A#] make you cry
[C#maj7] Something keeps him moving, but
[Cm7] no one seems to know
[A#m7] What it is that makes him
[D# open] go
BRIDGE 2:
Then the
[A#m] lights begin to
[A#m7M] flicker
And the
[A#m7] sound is getting
[D#] dim
The voice
[G#] begins to
[D#] faulter
And the
[Fm] crowds are getting
[F] thin
But he
[A#m] never seems to
[A#m7M] notice
He's just
[A#m7] got to find a-
[D#]-nother place to
[F] play
OUTRO:
[C#] Fade a-
[F]-way,
[C#] got to
[F] play
[C#] Fade a-
[F]-way,
[C#] got to
[F] play
[C#] Fade a-
[F]-way,
[C#] got to
[F] play
