[G] Who draws the crowd and [C] plays so loud, baby, [D] it's the guitar man.
[G]
Who's gonna steal the [C] show, you know, baby, it's [D] the guitar man.
He [Em] can make you love, he [C] can make you cry.
[Em] He will bring you down and [A] he'll get you high.
[C]
Something keeps him going, [Bm]
miles and miles a day, [Am] to find another [D] place to play.
[G]
Night after night, [C] who treats you right, baby, [D] it's the guitar man.
[G]
Who's on the [C] radio, you go listen to [D] the guitar man.
Then he [Em]
comes to town and you [C] see his face.
And you [Em]
think you might [A] like to take his place.
[C]
Something keeps him drifting, [Bm]
miles and miles away, [Am]
searching for the songs [D] to play.
Then [Am] you listen to [E] the music and [Am] you like to sing [D] along.
[G] You want to get [D] the meaning out [E] of each and every song.
Then [Am] you find yourself a message and some words to call [D] your own and take [E] them home.

what it is that makes you [D]
go.
Then [Am] the lights begin to [E] flicker [Am] and the sound is getting [D] dim.
[G] The voice begins [F#] to [D] falter [Em] and the crowds are getting thin.
