The Guitar Man

G C D 2x

G                    C
Who draws the crowd, who plays so loud,
              D
Baby it's the guitar man.
G                           C
Who's gonna steal the show, you know
              D
Baby it's the guitar man,

       Em                    C
He can make you love, he can make you cry
        Em                         A
He will bring you down, then he'll get you high
Cmaj7                      Bm
Something keeps him going, miles and miles a day
   Am                    D
To find another place to play.

G                  C
Night after night, who treats you right,
              D
Baby it's the guitar man
G                   C        
Who's on the radio, you go listen
       D
To the guitar man

        Em                     C
Then he comes to town, and you see his face,
        Em                      A
And you think you might like to take his place
Cmaj7                         Bm
Something keeps him drifting, miles and miles away,
Am                         D
Searching for the songs to play.

         Am            E             C6            D
Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along,
    G               D              Em             E
You want to get the meaning out of each and every song
         Am              E                C6                 D
Then you find yourself a message and some words to call your own
              E
And take them home.

       Em                    C
He can make you love, he can make you cry
        Em                         A
He will bring you down, then he'll get you high
Cmaj7                           Bm
Something keeps him moving, but no one seems to know
Am                        D
What it is that makes him go.

         Am              E               C6               D
Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
    G               D              Em                 E
The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
       Am             E                C6
But he never seems to notice he's just got to find
D                E
Another place to play,
              C                   E
Anyway got to play, anyway got to play.  4x
