VERSE 1:
[G] Who draws the crowd and
[C] plays so loud
Baby it's the
[D] guitar man
[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
[G] Who's going to steal the
[C] show you know
Baby it's the
[D] guitar man
[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
CHORUS 1:
He can
[Em] make you love he can
[C] make you cry
He will
[Em] bring you down and he'll
[A] get you high
[Cmaj7] Something keeps him going
[Bm7] miles and miles a day
To
[Am7] find another place to
[D open] play
[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
VERSE 2:
[G] Night after night, who
[C] treats you right
Baby it's the

[G] Who's on the radi-
[C]-o you go to listen to
The
[D] guitar man
[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
CHORUS 2:
When he
[Em] comes to town and you
[C] see his face
And you
[Em] think you might like to
[A] take his place
[Cmaj7] Something keeps him drifting
[Bm7] miles and miles away
[Am7] Searching for the songs to
[D open] play
BRIDGE 1:
You
[Am] listen to the
[Am7M] music
And you
[Am7] like to sing a-
[D]-long
You
[G] want to get the
[D] meaning out
Of
[Em] each and every
[E] song
And you
[Am] find yourself a
[Am7M] message
And some
[Am7] words to call your
[D] own
And take them
[E] home
[C]
INSTRUMENTAL:
[G] [C] [D] //
[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
[G] [C] [D] //
[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
CHORUS 3:
He can
[Em] make you love he can
[C] get you high
He will
[Em] bring you down and he'll
[A] make you cry
[Cmaj7] Something keeps him moving, but
[Bm7] no one seems to know
[Am7] What it is that makes him
[D open] go
BRIDGE 2:
Then the
[Am] lights begin to
[Am7M] flicker
And the
[Am7] sound is getting
[D] dim
The voice
[G] begins to
[D] faulter
And the
[Em] crowds are getting
[E] thin
But he
[Am] never seems to
[Am7M] notice
He's just
[Am7] got to find a-
[D]-nother place to
[E] play
