[A] [D] [E] //
[Esus4] [E] [Esus2] [E]
VERSE 1:
[A] Who draws the crowd and
[D] plays so loud
Baby it's the
[E] guitar man
[Esus4] [E] [Esus2] [E]
[A] Who's going to steal the
[D] show you know
Baby it's the
[E] guitar man
[Esus4] [E] [Esus2] [E]
CHORUS 1:
He can
[F#m] make you love he can
[D] make you cry
He will
[F#m] bring you down and he'll
[B] get you high
[Dmaj7] Something keeps him going
[C#m7] miles and miles a day
To
[Bm7] find another place to
[E open] play
[Esus4] [E] [Esus2] [E]
VERSE 2:
[A] Night after night, who
[D] treats you right
Baby it's the
[E] guitar man
[Esus4] [E] [Esus2] [E]
[A] Who's on the radi-
[D]-o you go to listen to
The
[E] guitar man
[Esus4] [E] [Esus2] [E]
CHORUS 2:
When he
[F#m] comes to town and you
[D] see his face
And you
[F#m] think you might like to
[B] take his place
[Dmaj7] Something keeps him drifting
[C#m7] miles and miles away
[Bm7] Searching for the songs to
[E open] play
BRIDGE 1:
You
[Bm] listen to the
[Bm7M] music
And you
[Bm7] like to sing a-
[E]-long
You
[A] want to get the
[E] meaning out
Of
[F#m] each and every
[F#] song
And you
[Bm] find yourself a
[Bm7M] message
And some
[Bm7] words to call your
[E] own
And take them
[F#] home
[D]
INSTRUMENTAL:
[A] [D] [E] //
[Esus4] [E] [Esus2] [E]
[A] [D] [E] //
[Esus4] [E] [Esus2] [E]
CHORUS 3:
He can
[F#m] make you love he can
[D] get you high
He will
[F#m] bring you down and he'll
[B] make you cry
[Dmaj7] Something keeps him moving, but
[C#m7] no one seems to know
[Bm7] What it is that makes him
[E open] go
BRIDGE 2:
Then the
[Bm] lights begin to
[Bm7M] flicker
And the
[Bm7] sound is getting
[E] dim
The voice
[A] begins to
[E] faulter
And the
[F#m] crowds are getting
[F#] thin
But he
[Bm] never seems to
[Bm7M] notice
He's just
[Bm7] got to find a-
[E]-nother place to
[F#] play
OUTRO:
[D] Fade a-
[F#]-way,
[D] got to
[F#] play
[D] Fade a-
[F#]-way,
[D] got to
[F#] play
[D] Fade a-
[F#]-way,
[D] got to
[F#] play
