[D] Who draws the crowd and
[G] plays so loud
Baby it's the
[A] guitar man
[Asus4] [A] [Asus2] [A]
[D] Who's going to steal the
[G] show you know
Baby it's the
[A] guitar man
[Asus4] [A] [Asus2] [A]
CHORUS 1:
He can
[Bm] make you love he can
[G] make you cry
He will
[Bm] bring you down and he'll
[E] get you high
[Gmaj7] Something keeps him going

To
[Em7] find another place to
[A open] play

The
[A] guitar man
[Asus4] [A] [Asus2] [A]
CHORUS 2:
When he
[Bm] comes to town and you
[G] see his face
And you
[Bm] think you might like to
[E] take his place
[Gmaj7] Something keeps him drifting
[F#m7] miles and miles away
[Em7] Searching for the songs to
[A open] play
BRIDGE 1:
You
[Em] listen to the
[Em7M] music
And you
[Em7] like to sing a-
[A]-long
You
[D] want to get the
[A] meaning out
Of
[Bm] each and every
[B] song
And you
[Em] find yourself a
[Em7M] message
And some
[Em7] words to call your
[A] own
And take them
[B] home
[G]

CHORUS 3:
He can
[Bm] make you love he can
[G] get you high
He will
[Bm] bring you down and he'll
[E] make you cry
[Gmaj7] Something keeps him moving, but
[F#m7] no one seems to know
[Em7] What it is that makes him
[A open] go
BRIDGE 2:
Then the
[Em] lights begin to
[Em7M] flicker
And the
[Em7] sound is getting
[A] dim
The voice
[D] begins to
[A] faulter
And the
[Bm] crowds are getting
[B] thin
But he
[Em] never seems to
[Em7M] notice
He's just
[Em7] got to find a-
[A]-nother place to
[B] play

[B]-way,
[G] got to
[B] play
[G] Fade a-
[B]-way,
[G] got to
[B] play
