[D#] [G#] [A#] //

VERSE 1:
[D#] Who draws the crowd and
[G#] plays so loud
Baby it's the
[A#] guitar man
[A#sus4] [A#] [A#sus2] [A#]
[D#] Who's going to steal the
[G#] show you know
Baby it's the
[A#] guitar man
[A#sus4] [A#] [A#sus2] [A#]
CHORUS 1:
He can
[Cm] make you love he can
[G#] make you cry
He will
[Cm] bring you down and he'll
[F] get you high
[G#maj7] Something keeps him going
[Gm7] miles and miles a day
To
[Fm7] find another place to
[A# open] play
[A#sus4] [A#] [A#sus2] [A#]
VERSE 2:
[D#] Night after night, who
[G#] treats you right
Baby it's the
[A#] guitar man
[A#sus4] [A#] [A#sus2] [A#]
[D#] Who's on the radi-
[G#]-o you go to listen to
The
[A#] guitar man
[A#sus4] [A#] [A#sus2] [A#]
CHORUS 2:
When he
[Cm] comes to town and you
[G#] see his face
And you
[Cm] think you might like to
[F] take his place
[G#maj7] Something keeps him drifting
[Gm7] miles and miles away
[Fm7] Searching for the songs to
[A# open] play
BRIDGE 1:
You
[Fm] listen to the
[Fm7M] music
And you
[Fm7] like to sing a-
[A#]-long
You
[D#] want to get the
[A#] meaning out
Of
[Cm] each and every
[C] song
And you
[Fm] find yourself a
[Fm7M] message
And some
[Fm7] words to call your
[A#] own
And take them
[C] home
[G#]
INSTRUMENTAL:
[D#] [G#] [A#] //
[A#sus4] [A#] [A#sus2] [A#]
[D#] [G#] [A#] //
[A#sus4] [A#] [A#sus2] [A#]
CHORUS 3:
He can
[Cm] make you love he can
[G#] get you high
He will
[Cm] bring you down and he'll
[F] make you cry
[G#maj7] Something keeps him moving, but
[Gm7] no one seems to know
[Fm7] What it is that makes him
[A# open] go
BRIDGE 2:
Then the
[Fm] lights begin to
[Fm7M] flicker
And the
[Fm7] sound is getting
[A#] dim
The voice
[D#] begins to
[A#] faulter
And the
[Cm] crowds are getting
[C] thin
But he
[Fm] never seems to
[Fm7M] notice
He's just
[Fm7] got to find a-
[A#]-nother place to
[C] play
OUTRO:
[G#] Fade a-
[C]-way,
[G#] got to
[C] play
[G#] Fade a-
[C]-way,
[G#] got to
[C] play
[G#] Fade a-
[C]-way,
[G#] got to
[C] play
