[F] Who draws the crowd and

Baby it's the

[Csus4] [C] [Csus2] [C]
[F] Who's going to steal the
[A#] show you know
Baby it's the
[C] guitar man
[Csus4] [C] [Csus2] [C]
CHORUS 1:
He can
[Dm] make you love he can
[A#] make you cry
He will

CHORUS 2:
When he
[Dm] comes to town and you
[A#] see his face
And you
[Dm] think you might like to
[G] take his place
[A#maj7] Something keeps him drifting
[Am7] miles and miles away
[Gm7] Searching for the songs to
[C open] play
BRIDGE 1:
You
[Gm] listen to the
[Gm7M] music
And you
[Gm7] like to sing a-
[C]-long
You
[F] want to get the
[C] meaning out
Of
[Dm] each and every
[D] song
And you
[Gm] find yourself a
[Gm7M] message
And some
[Gm7] words to call your
[C] own
And take them
[D] home

CHORUS 3:
He can
[Dm] make you love he can
[A#] get you high
He will
[Dm] bring you down and he'll
[G] make you cry
[A#maj7] Something keeps him moving, but
[Am7] no one seems to know
[Gm7] What it is that makes him
[C open] go
BRIDGE 2:
Then the
[Gm] lights begin to
[Gm7M] flicker
And the
[Gm7] sound is getting
[C] dim
The voice
[F] begins to
[C] faulter
And the
[Dm] crowds are getting
[D] thin
But he
[Gm] never seems to
[Gm7M] notice
He's just
[Gm7] got to find a-
[C]-nother place to
[D] play

[D]-way,
[A#] got to
[D] play
[A#] Fade a-
[D]-way,
[A#] got to
[D] play
