Intro
D D/C# D/B D2/A G D D2/A D(4)/C# (6x)
-Verse 1-
D D/C# D/B D2/A G
I am a bus driver
D D2/A D(4)/C# D
and it's four in the morning
D/C# D/B D2/A G D D2/A D(4)/C# D
And I'm pressing out my clothes beside my bed
D/C# D/B D2/A G D D2/A D(4)/C#
Fourteen years been on the job and with many miles behind
D D/C# D/B D2/A G D D2/A D(4)/C#
Still I'm up at three thirty to make sure I'm there on time
D D/C# D/B D2/A G D D2/A D(4)/C# D
My car gets me along just fine to and from the station
D/C# D/B D2/A G D D2/A D(4)/C#
But my castle is this Houston Metro Bus
D D/C# D/B D2/A G D
My first stop is Ashbury.
D2/A D(4)/C# D
And the sign's been gone for years
D/C# D/B D2/A G D D2/A D(4)/C#
but all the same the people wait cause they know that I'll be there.
-Chorus-
F2 G2 D Bm9
What would you say if I told you that I won't be by today?
F2 G2 A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F#
Would you say that I'm just a bus driver
D2(sus)/F
and what do I know,
A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F#
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/F
and what do I know,
A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F#
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/F A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F# A/E
and what do I know?
-Verse 2-
D D/C# D/B D2/A G D
Well, I'm always there by five fifteen
D2/A D(4)/C# D
and lately I've been early
D/C# D/B D2/A G D D2/A D(4)/C#
'cause Judith likes to be in early to the bank.
D D/C# D/B D2/A G D D2/A D(4)/C# D
And she gives me conversation and a token good for riding.
D/C# D/B D2/A G D D2/A D(4)/C#
And she's hapyy all alone
D D/C# D/B D2/A G D
And then there's Charles in retail sales;
D2/A D(4)/C# D
and I hope they pay him well
D/C# D/B D/A2 G D D2/A D(4)/C#
for the work that young man does
D D/C# D/B D2/A G D
Cause I've never seen the inside
D2/A D(4)/C# D
of a custom refrigerator
D/C# D/B D2/A G D D2/A
but I know he's the first and last one there
-Chorus-
F2 G2 D Bm9
What would you say if I told you that I won't be by today?
F2 G2 A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F#
Would you say that I'm just a bus driver
D2(sus)/F
and what do I know,
A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F#
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/F
and what do I know,
A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F#
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/F A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F# A/E
and what do I know?
D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/G A/E
And what do I know.
-Piano solo-
D D/C# D/B D2/A G D D2/A D(4)/C# (4x)
-Vesre 3-
D D/C# D/B D2/A G D
I wonder what they do all day,
D2/A D(4)/C#
and their respective works.
D D/C# D/B D2/A G D D2/A D(4)/C#
Suppose they give money and take money away.
D D/C# D/B D2/A G D
Still, I'm just orbiting this town
D2/A D(4)/C# D
with the post office my sun.
D/C# D/B D2/A G D D2/A D(4)/C#
And I'm circling again.
D D/C# D/B D2/A G D
And I wonder how this world would be
D2/A D(4)/C# D D/C# D/B D2/A G D D2/A D(4)/C#
if I was never here to drive this bus around from Ashbury to Main.
D D/C# D/B D2/A G D
Suppose this town would be the same
D2/A D(4)/C# D
but with one bus less exhaust.
D/C# D/B D2/A G D
But that bank and retail stores,
D2/A D(4)/C# F2
they just wouldn't be the same.
G2 D Bm9 F2
But what can I see from the limited confines of my bus driving seat?
G2
Only me.
A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F#
And I'm just a bus driver
D2(sus)/F
and what do I know,
A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F#
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/F
and what do I know,
A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F#
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/F
and what do I know,
A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F#
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/F
and what do I know,
A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F#
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/F
and what do I know,
A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F#
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/F
and what do I know,
A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F#
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/F
and what do I know,
A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F#
just a bus driver
D2(sus)/F A2
and it's time to go home.
A2 D2(sus)/G D2(sus)/F# A/E D

Verse 1:
--------
A Cadd9 A Cadd9 D
Like April Showers on the slick cement
A Cadd9 A Cadd9 D
When I consider how our light is spent
A Cadd9 A Cadd9 D
Keeping the candles inside the cathedral
A Cadd9 A
Hold on tight, Don't go into the night
Cadd9 D
So full of evil
Cadd9 D Cadd9 D A
Chorus:
-------
D A
Rain rain don't go away

We need you this dry and dusty day
D A
Rain rain don't go away

Though some may say please go away

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 D A (This time the Cadd9 D after verse is played only once)
Chorus (See above)
(Intro Lick is played ONCE)
Bridge:
-------
Bm Em7
And the sacred cows
Bm Em7
Feed on the green
Bm Em7
While the least of these
Bm A Barre-A (10th fret)
Are dying on the streets
And they're crying...

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
BRIDDB 1: |G . . |. . * |Em7 . . |. . . |(2)

Maybe there's no gray and I was wrong to tell 'em so

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

VERSE 2:
Bm7 G9 D /C Bm7 G9 D
I've been dressing up and dressing down for too many people
/C Bm7 G9 D /C
And I'm a little young to live like a troubled boy, a troubled soul
Bm7 G9 D /C Bm7 G9
E fish out of water, 'cause we're all just the same
D /C Bm7 G9 D
We're all just as good and just as bad and just as distracted
/C Bm7 G9 D /C
By the corners of our eyes as our fathers were and theirs before
Bm7 G9 D /C# G9 G9
And all those before them and still I glance around
