G C D  // Dsus4 D Dsus2 D  x2


G C D  // Dsus4 D Dsus2 D

Who draws the crowd and plays so loud, 

baby, it's the guitar man

Who's gonna steal the show, you know, 

baby, it's the guitar man


Em C. Em A

He can make you love, 

he can make you cry

He will bring you down 

and he'll get you high


Cmaj7. Bm7. Am7. // D Dsus4

Something keeps him going 

miles and miles a day

to find another place to play


G C D  // Dsus4 D Dsus2 D

Night after night who treats you right, 

baby, it's the guitar man

Who's on the radio, you go and 

listen to the guitar man

Em C. Em  A.

When he comes to town 

and you see his face

And you think you might 

like to take his place


Cmaj7. Bm7. Am7 // D

Something keeps him drifting 

miles and miles away

searching for the songs to play


Am. Am7. D.  Dsus4

Then you listen to the music 

and you like to sing along

G. G/F#. Em. E7.

You want to get the meaning out of each and every song

 Am. Am7.  // D.  Dsus4 // D. E. Cmaj7

And you find yourself a message and some

words to call your own and take them home


Solo

G. C. D. //. Dsus4 D Dsus2 D  x2

Em C. Em  A

He can make you love,

he can get you high

He will bring you down,

then he'll make, make you cry


Cmaj7. Bm7. Am7 D

Something keeps him moving,

but no one seems to know

what it is that makes him go


Am. Am7. D.  Dsus4

Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim

G G/F# Em  E7

The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin

Am Am7

But he never seems to notice, he's just got to find

D Dsus4 D 

another place to play….........

E // Cmaj7

Fade away…..… got to play… x2

Fade away
