Who draws the crowd and plays so loud, baby, it's the guitar man
G                     C                              D         Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Who's gonna steal the show, you know, baby, it's the guitar man


[Chorus I]
       Em                    C
He can make you love, he can make you cry
        Em                       A
He will bring you down and he'll get you high
Cmaj7                     Bm7
Something keeps him going miles and miles a day
    Am7                  D         Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
to find another place to play


[Verse 2]
G                     C                                D        Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Night after night who treats you right, baby, it's the guitar man
G                 C                          D         Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Who's on the radio, you go and listen to the guitar man


[Chorus II]
        Em                    C
When he comes to town and you see his face
        Em                      A
And you think you might like to take his place
Cmaj7                        Bm7
Something keeps him drifting miles and miles away
Am7                        D
searching for the songs to play


[Bridge]
         Am            AmM7          Am7               D Dsus4 D
Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along
    G               G/F#           Em                   E7
You want to get the meaning out of each and every song
        Am              AmM7
And you find yourself a message and some
Am7                D       Dsus4 D   E Esus E   Cmaj7
words to call your own and take them home


[Solo]
G   C   D    Dsus4 D Dsus2 D  x2


[Chorus III]
       Em                    C
He can make you love, he can get you high
        Em                         A
He will bring you down, then he'll make, make you cry
Cmaj7                           Bm7
Something keeps him moving, but no one seems to know
Am7                       D
what it is that makes him go


[Outro]
         Am              AmM7            Am7                  D Dsus4 D
Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
    G               G/F#           Em                      E7
The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
       Am             AmM7              Am7
But he never seems to notice, he's just got to find
D       Dsus4 D  E       Cmaj7      E     Cmaj7     E
another place to play….........Fade away…..… got to play…
Cmaj7   E    Cmaj7      E     Cmaj7     E
…… fade away………… Got to play…………...Fade away
