              Intro: G  C  D  (2x)   
    
G                        C                            D             
Who draws the crowd?  Who plays so loud? Baby it's the guitar man.   
G                       C                           D    
Who's going to steal the show? You know baby its the guitar man.   
   
            Em                      C                                            
·    He can make you love.  He can make you cry.   
·            Em                        A   
       He will bring you down and he'll get you high.!    
   
       C7+                       Bm7                     Am7                     
       Something keeps him going miles and miles a day to find   
                     D   
       another place to play.   
   
G                     C                              D                            
Night after night, who treats you right? Baby its the guitar man.   
G                C                         D   
Who's on the radio? You go to listen to the guitar man.   
       Em                    C                     Em                        
When hecomes to town and you see his face. And you think you   
              A   
might like to take his place.   
   
        C7+                        Bm7                   Am7                   
       Something keeps him drifting miles and miles away, searching   
                        D   
       for the songs to play.   
   
    Am           E/G#         C6/G                          
Then you listen to the music and you like to sing   
  D/F#        G              D/F#            Em                 E   
A long.   You want to get the meaning out of each and every song.   
        Am              E/G#   
And you find yourself a message and some   
C6/G               D/F#              E   
words to call your own and take them home.    
(Inst.verse to *-!) (G C D Intro 2xs)   
                                                                               
C7+                            Bm7                   Am7                     D   
Something keeps him moving, but no one seems to know what itis that makes him go.  
         Am              E/G#           C6/G               D/F#                 
Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim.   
          G             D/F#        Em                    E   
The voice begins to fal ter and the crowds are getting thin.   
       Am             E/G#             C6/G        D/F#             E    
But he never seems to notice he's  just got to find another place to play.   
   
C (gab) E     4xs
