[F#] [B] [C#] //
[C#sus4] [C#] [C#sus2] [C#]
VERSE 1:
[F#] Who draws the crowd and
[B] plays so loud
Baby it's the
[C#] guitar man
[C#sus4] [C#] [C#sus2] [C#]
[F#] Who's going to steal the
[B] show you know
Baby it's the
[C#] guitar man
[C#sus4] [C#] [C#sus2] [C#]
CHORUS 1:
He can
[D#m] make you love he can
[B] make you cry
He will
[D#m] bring you down and he'll
[G#] get you high
[Bmaj7] Something keeps him going
[A#m7] miles and miles a day
To
[G#m7] find another place to
[C# open] play
[C#sus4] [C#] [C#sus2] [C#]
VERSE 2:
[F#] Night after night, who
[B] treats you right
Baby it's the
[C#] guitar man
[C#sus4] [C#] [C#sus2] [C#]
[F#] Who's on the radi-
[B]-o you go to listen to
The
[C#] guitar man
[C#sus4] [C#] [C#sus2] [C#]
CHORUS 2:
When he
[D#m] comes to town and you
[B] see his face
And you
[D#m] think you might like to
[G#] take his place
[Bmaj7] Something keeps him drifting
[A#m7] miles and miles away
[G#m7] Searching for the songs to
[C# open] play
BRIDGE 1:
You
[G#m] listen to the
[G#m7M] music
And you
[G#m7] like to sing a-
[C#]-long
You
[F#] want to get the
[C#] meaning out
Of
[D#m] each and every
[D#] song
And you
[G#m] find yourself a
[G#m7M] message
And some
[G#m7] words to call your
[C#] own
And take them
[D#] home
[B]
INSTRUMENTAL:
[F#] [B] [C#] //
[C#sus4] [C#] [C#sus2] [C#]
[F#] [B] [C#] //
[C#sus4] [C#] [C#sus2] [C#]
CHORUS 3:
He can
[D#m] make you love he can
[B] get you high
He will
[D#m] bring you down and he'll
[G#] make you cry
[Bmaj7] Something keeps him moving, but
[A#m7] no one seems to know
[G#m7] What it is that makes him
[C# open] go
BRIDGE 2:
Then the
[G#m] lights begin to
[G#m7M] flicker
And the
[G#m7] sound is getting
[C#] dim
The voice
[F#] begins to
[C#] faulter
And the
[D#m] crowds are getting
[D#] thin
But he
[G#m] never seems to
[G#m7M] notice
He's just
[G#m7] got to find a-
[C#]-nother place to
[D#] play
OUTRO:
[B] Fade a-
[D#]-way,
[B] got to
[D#] play
[B] Fade a-
[D#]-way,
[B] got to
[D#] play
[B] Fade a-
[D#]-way,
[B] got to
[D#] play
