{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
[G]who draws the crowd and [C]plays so loud, baby it's the [D]guitar man
[G]who's gonna steal the [C]show, you know baby it's the [D]guitar man
he can [Em]make you laugh, he can [C]make you cry
he will [Em]bring you down, then he'll [A7]get you high
[CM7]somethin' keeps him goin', [Bm7]miles and miles a day
to [Am7]find another place to [D]play
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
[G]night after night who [C]treats you right, baby it's the [D]guitar man
[G]who's on the radi-[C]o, you go listen to the [D]guitar man
then he [Em]comes to town, and you [C]see his face
and you [Em]think you might like to [A7]take his place
[CM7]somethin' keeps him driftin', [Bm7]miles and miles away
[Am7]searchin' for the songs to [D]play
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_part: Bridge 1}
then you [Am]listen to the [Abaug]music and you [C/G]like to sing a[D/F#]long
you [G]want to get the [D/F#]meaning out of [Em]each and ev'ry [E7]song
then you [Am]find yourself a [Abaug]message and some [C/G]words to call your [D/F#]own
and take them [E]home

[Am7]what it is that makes him [D]go

then the [Am]lights begin to [Abaug]flicker and the [C/G]sound is getting [D/F#]dim
the [G]voice begins to [D/F#]falter and the [Em]crowds are getting [E7]thin
