The Guitar Man
[Verse 1]
Who draws the crowd, and plays so loud?
Baby, it's the guitar man
Who's gonna steal the show? You know
Baby, it's the guitar man
[Bridge 1]
He can make you love
He can make you cry
He will bring you down
Then he'll get you high
[Chorus 1]
Something keeps him going
Miles and miles a day
To find another place to play
[Verse 2]
Night after night, who treats you right
Baby, it's the guitar man
Who's on the radio?
You go listen to the guitar man
[Bridge 2]
Then he comes to town
And you see his face
And you think you might
Like to take his place
[Chorus 2]
Something keeps him drifting
Miles and miles away
He is searching for the songs to play
[Bridge 3]
Then you listen to the music
And you like to sing along
You want to get the meaning
Out of each and every song
[Chorus 3]
Then you find yourself a message
And some words to call your own
And take 'em home
[Bridge 1]
He can make you love
He can get you high
He will bring you down
Then he'll make, make you cry
[Chorus 3]
Something keeps him moving
But no one seems to know
What it is that makes him go
[Bridge 4]
Then the lights begin to flicker
And the sound is getting dim
The voice begins to falter
And the crowds are getting thin
[Chorus 4]
But he never seems to notice
He's just got to find another place to play
[Outro]
Fade away
Got to play
(applause)
Either way
Got to play
Who draws the crowd, and plays so loud?
Baby, it's the guitar man
Who's gonna steal the show? You know
Baby, it's the guitar man
[Bridge 1]
He can make you love
He can make you cry
He will bring you down
Then he'll get you high
[Chorus 1]
Something keeps him going
Miles and miles a day
To find another place to play
[Verse 2]
Night after night, who treats you right
Baby, it's the guitar man
Who's on the radio?
You go listen to the guitar man
[Bridge 2]
Then he comes to town
And you see his face
And you think you might
Like to take his place
[Chorus 2]
Something keeps him drifting
Miles and miles away
He is searching for the songs to play
[Bridge 3]
Then you listen to the music
And you like to sing along
You want to get the meaning
Out of each and every song
[Chorus 3]
Then you find yourself a message
And some words to call your own
And take 'em home
[Bridge 1]
He can make you love
He can get you high
He will bring you down
Then he'll make, make you cry
[Chorus 3]
Something keeps him moving
But no one seems to know
What it is that makes him go
[Bridge 4]
Then the lights begin to flicker
And the sound is getting dim
The voice begins to falter
And the crowds are getting thin
[Chorus 4]
But he never seems to notice
He's just got to find another place to play
[Outro]
Fade away
Got to play
(applause)
Either way
Got to play
