Song: Guitar Man
By:   Bread

[intro:]   2  x  [ G  C  D    Dsus4 D Dsus2 D ]
 
[verse: 1]
 G                       C                           D         Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Who draws the crowd and plays so loud baby it's the guitar man
 G                        C                           D         Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Who's going to steal the show you know baby its the guitar man
 
[chorus:]
       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 {let ring}     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 to listen to the guitar man
 
[chorus:]
         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  {let ring}
Searching for the songs to play
  
[bridge:]  {strum}
           Am          AmM7           Am7           D
Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along
     G               D/F#           Em                   E7  {band kicks in}
You want to get the meaning out of each and every song
         Am              AmM7             Am7                D
And you find yourself a message and some words to call your own 
               E     C
And take them home
 
[solo: guitar] {over intro chords} 
               2  x  [ G  C  D    Dsus4 D Dsus2 D ]
 
[chorus:]
        Em                    C
He can make you love, he can get you high
         Em                    A
He will bring you down and he may make you cry
 Cmaj7                          Bm7                 
Something keeps him moving, but no one seems to know 
 Am7                      D  {let ring}
What it is that makes him go
 
[coda:]  {strum}
          Am              AmM7            Am7              D 
Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
     G               D/F#           Em                      E7  {band kicks in}
The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
        Am             AmM7             Am7          D               E
But he never seems to notice he's just got to find another place to play
 C            E  
       Fade away
 C            E
       Got to play
 C            E  
       Fade away
 C            E
       Got to play
 C            E  
 C            E
