The guitar man

 
              Intro: G C D (2x)  
 
G                    C  
Who draws the crowd, who plays so loud,  
             D  
Baby its the guitar man.  
G                           C  
Who s gonna steal the show, you know  
             D  
Baby its the guitar man,  
 
       Em                    C  
He can make you love, he can make you cry  
        Em                         A  
He will bring you down, then he ll get you high  
C7+                         Bm  
Something keeps him going, miles and miles a day  
   Am                    D  
To find another place to play.  
 
G                  C  
Night after night, who treats you right,  
              D  
Baby it s the guitar man  
G                   C          
Who s on the radio, you go listen  
       D  
To the guitar man  
 
        Em                     C  
Then he comes to town, and you see his face,  
        Em                      A  
And you think you might like to take his place  
C7+                            Bm  
Something keeps him drifting, miles and miles away,  
Am                         D  
Searching for the songs to play.  
 
         Am            Am7+            Am7            D  
Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along,  
    G               D              Em             E  
You want to get the meaning out of each and every song  
         Am              Am7+             Am7                D  
Then you find yourself a message and some words to call your own  
              E  
And take them home.  
 
G C D (2x)  
 
       Em                    C  
He can make you love, he can make you cry  
        Em                         A  
He will bring you down, then he ll get you high  
C7+                              Bm  
Something keeps him moving, but no one seems to know  
Am                        D  
What it is that makes him go.  
 
         Am              Am7+            Am7               D  
Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim  
    G               D              Em                 E  
The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin  
       Am             Am7+             Am7  
But he never seems to notice he s just got to find  
D                E  
Another place to play,  
              C                   E  
Anyway got to play, anyway got to play.  (4x)
