C F
Who draws the crowd, who plays so loud,
G
Baby it's the guitar man.
C F
Who's gonna steal the show, you know
G
Baby it's the guitar man,
Am F
He can make you love, he can make you cry
Am D
He will bring you down, then he'll get you high

Something keeps him going, miles and miles a day
Dm G
To find another place to play.
C F
Night after night, who treats you right,
G
Baby it's the guitar man
C F
Who's on the radio, you go listen
G
To the guitar man
Am F
Then he comes to town, and you see his face,
Am D
And you think you might like to take his place
Fmaj7 Em
Something keeps him drifting, miles and miles away,
Dm G
Searching for the songs to play.
Dm A F6 G
Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along,
C G Am A
You want to get the meaning out of each and every song
Dm A F6 G
Then you find yourself a message and some words to call your own
A
And take them home.

He can make you love, he can make you cry
Am D
He will bring you down, then he'll get you high
Fmaj7 Em
Something keeps him moving, but no one seems to know
Dm G
What it is that makes him go.
Dm A F6 G
Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
C G Am A
The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
Dm A F6
But he never seems to notice he's just got to find
G A
Another place to play,
F A
Anyway got to play, anyway got to play. 4x
