Intro
F F/E F/D F2/C A# F F2/C D(4)/E (6x)
-Verse 1-
F F/E F/D F2/C A#
I am a bus driver
F F2/C D(4)/E F
and it's four in the morning
F/E F/D F2/C A# F F2/C D(4)/E F
And I'm pressing out my clothes beside my bed
F/E F/D F2/C A# F F2/C D(4)/E
Fourteen years been on the job and with many miles behind
F F/E F/D F2/C A# F F2/C D(4)/E
Still I'm up at three thirty to make sure I'm there on time
F F/E F/D F2/C A# F F2/C D(4)/E F
My car gets me along just fine to and from the station
F/E F/D F2/C A# F F2/C D(4)/E
But my castle is this Houston Metro Bus
F F/E F/D F2/C A# F
My first stop is Ashbury.
F2/C D(4)/E F
And the sign's been gone for years
F/E F/D F2/C A# F F2/C D(4)/E
but all the same the people wait cause they know that I'll be there.
-Chorus-
Ab2 A#2 F Dm9
What would you say if I told you that I won't be by today?
Ab2 A#2 C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A
Would you say that I'm just a bus driver
D2(sus)/Ab
and what do I know,
C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/Ab
and what do I know,
C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/Ab C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A C/G
and what do I know?
-Verse 2-
F F/E F/D F2/C A# F
Well, I'm always there by five fifteen
F2/C D(4)/E F
and lately I've been early
F/E F/D F2/C A# F F2/C D(4)/E
'cause Judith likes to be in early to the bank.
F F/E F/D F2/C A# F F2/C D(4)/E F
And she gives me conversation and a token good for riding.
F/E F/D F2/C A# F F2/C D(4)/E
And she's hapyy all alone
F F/E F/D F2/C A# F
And then there's Charles in retail sales;
F2/C D(4)/E F
and I hope they pay him well
F/E F/D F/C2 A# F F2/C D(4)/E
for the work that young man does
F F/E F/D F2/C A# F
Cause I've never seen the inside
F2/C D(4)/E F
of a custom refrigerator
F/E F/D F2/C A# F F2/C
but I know he's the first and last one there
-Chorus-
Ab2 A#2 F Dm9
What would you say if I told you that I won't be by today?
Ab2 A#2 C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A
Would you say that I'm just a bus driver
D2(sus)/Ab
and what do I know,
C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/Ab
and what do I know,
C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/Ab C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A C/G
and what do I know?
D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A# C/G
And what do I know.
-Piano solo-
F F/E F/D F2/C A# F F2/C D(4)/E (4x)
-Vesre 3-
F F/E F/D F2/C A# F
I wonder what they do all day,
F2/C D(4)/E
and their respective works.
F F/E F/D F2/C A# F F2/C D(4)/E
Suppose they give money and take money away.
F F/E F/D F2/C A# F
Still, I'm just orbiting this town
F2/C D(4)/E F
with the post office my sun.
F/E F/D F2/C A# F F2/C D(4)/E
And I'm circling again.
F F/E F/D F2/C A# F
And I wonder how this world would be
F2/C D(4)/E F F/E F/D F2/C A# F F2/C D(4)/E
if I was never here to drive this bus around from Ashbury to Main.
F F/E F/D F2/C A# F
Suppose this town would be the same
F2/C D(4)/E F
but with one bus less exhaust.
F/E F/D F2/C A# F
But that bank and retail stores,
F2/C D(4)/E Ab2
they just wouldn't be the same.
A#2 F Dm9 Ab2
But what can I see from the limited confines of my bus driving seat?
A#2
Only me.
C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A
And I'm just a bus driver
D2(sus)/Ab
and what do I know,
C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/Ab
and what do I know,
C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/Ab
and what do I know,
C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/Ab
and what do I know,
C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/Ab
and what do I know,
C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/Ab
and what do I know,
C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/Ab
and what do I know,
C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/Ab C2
and it's time to go home.
C2 D2(sus)/A# D2(sus)/A C/G F

Verse 1:
--------
C Cadd9 C Cadd9 F
Like April Showers on the slick cement
C Cadd9 C Cadd9 F
When I consider how our light is spent

Hold on tight, Don't go into the night
Cadd9 F
So full of evil
Cadd9 F Cadd9 F C
Chorus:

I tried to break it up into sections where you can hear a "pause". listen to the cd, you'll
see what i mean.
NOTE on Solo: 2 things about this. 1st, it is my interpretation, so the fingerings
might be different than Derek's, but it sounds the exact same, i checked several times.
2nd, i play solo guitar, so i have added come chord inversions where usually cliff would
play, to fill it out. so sometimes there is _more_ here than on the CD. as always, mail
me if you are lost.
Verse 2: (Same as Verse 1)
--------
Like the April Showers on the slick cement
And the roads once straight have now become so bent
Weaving through the trees of vain security
Rounding round the hard rocks of hard morality
Cadd9 F C (This time the Cadd9 F after verse is played only once)
Chorus (See above)
(Intro Lick is played ONCE)
Bridge:
-------
Dm Gm7
And the sacred cows
Dm Gm7
Feed on the green
Dm Gm7
While the least of these
Dm C Barre-C (10th fret)
Are dying on the streets
And they're crying...

Outro:

I've been putting on and putting off too many people
And I'm getting old to live like an injured man
Ailment and unfilled prescription like the nose on my face
Like a broken boat safety raft and a love for the water
And I just can't decide to sink or swim it's me or them
Should I save myself or go back for the others because

There was provision before my need
There was redemption before my sin
For the sake of the world I thank the Lord
That the truth's not contingent on me

I've been dressing up and dressing down for too many people
/D# Dm7 A#9 F /D#
And I'm a little young to live like a troubled boy, a troubled soul
Dm7 A#9 F /D# Dm7 A#9
