[G] [G/f#] [G/E]   [G2]/[D] [C]
I am a bus driver
[G]and [G2]it'[D]s four i[D(4)/F#]n the morn[G]ing
[G/f#]     [G/E]        [G2]/[D]        [C]     [G]   [G2]/[D] D(4)/F# [G]
And I'm pressing out my clothes beside my bed
[G/f#]     [G/E]        [G2]/[D]   [C]  [G]         [G2]/[D]      D(4)/F#
Fourteen years been on the job and with many miles behind
[G]         [G/f#]       [G/E]   [G2]/[D]      [C]             [G]   [G2]/[D] D(4)/F#
Still I'm up at three thirty to make sure I'm there on time
[G]   [G/f#]     [G/E]    [G2]/[D]   [C] [G] [G2]/[D]       D(4)/F# [G]
My car gets me along just fine to and from the station
[G/f#]   [G/E]      [G2]/[D]      [C]     [G]   [G2]/[D] D(4)/F#
But my castle is this Houston Metro Bus
[G]        [G/f#]    [G/E] [G2]/[D] [C] [G]
My first stop is Ashbury.
And the [G2]sig[D]n's been [D(4)/F#]gone for years[G]
    [G/f#]        [G/E]    [G2]/[D]    [C] [G]         [G2]/[D]           D(4)/F#
but all the same the people wait cause they know that I'll be there.

{section: Chorus}
[Bb2]What would you [C2]say if I [G]told you that I [Em9]won't be by today?
[Bb2]Would you say[C2] that[D2] I'm just [D2]a bus dr[C]iver[D2]        [B]

Well, I'm always there by five fifteen
and [G2]lat[D]ely I[D(4)/F#]'ve been ear[G]ly
       [G/f#]   [G/E]        [G2]/[D]   [C]    [G]        [G2]/[D] D(4)/F#
'cause Judith likes to be in early to the bank.
[G]           [G/f#] [G/E]    [G2]/[D] [C] [G]    [G2]/[D]  D(4)/F#     [G]
And she gives me conversation and a token good for riding.
[G/f#]       [G/E]     [G2]/[D]  [C] [G] [G2]/[D] D(4)/F#
And she's hapyy all alone
[G]        [G/f#]       [G/E]      [G2]/[D]       [C] [G]
And then there's Charles in retail sales;
and I [G2]hop[D]e they [D(4)/F#]pay him well[G]
[G/f#]        [G/E]       [G]/[D2]      [C] [G] [G2]/[D] D(4)/F#
for the work that young man does
[G]          [G/f#]      [G/E]     [G2]/[D] [C] [G]
Cause I've never seen the inside
of a [G2]cus[D]tom re[D(4)/F#]frigerat[G]or
[G/f#]   [G/E] [G2]/[D]     [C]        [G]    [G2]/[D]
but I know he's the first and last one there

{section: Verse 3}
[G]  [G/f#]          [G/E] [G2]/[D]     [C] [G]
I wonder what they do all day,
and [G2]the[D]ir res[D(4)/F#]pective works.
[G]     [G/f#]   [G/E]      [G2]/[D]  [C]       [G]     [G2]/[D] D(4)/F#
Suppose they give money and take money away.
[G]         [G/f#]  [G/E]     [G2]/[D]      [C] [G]
Still, I'm just orbiting this town
with the [G2]pos[D]t of[D(4)/F#]fice my [G]sun.
[G/f#]    [G/E]     [G2]/[D]  [C] [G] [G2]/[D] D(4)/F#
And I'm circling again.
[G]        [G/f#] [G/E]          [G2]/[D]     [C] [G]
And I wonder how this world would be

if I was never here to drive this bus around from Ashbury to Main.
[G]      [G/f#]  [G/E]         [G2]/[D]      [C] [G]
Suppose this town would be the same
but with [G2]one[D] bus [D(4)/F#]less exhaust[G].
[G/f#]     [G/E]         [G2]/[D]      [C] [G]
But that bank and retail stores,
they just [G2]wou[D]ldn't be[D(4)/F#] the same.[Bb2]
But what can I[C2] see from the [G]limited confines of [Em9]my bus driving seat?[Bb2]
Only me.[C2]

[D2]And I'm just [D2]a bus dr[C]iver[D2]        [B]
and [D2]what do [Bb]I know,
[D2]just a [D2]bus driv[C]er [D2]         [B]

I tried to break it up into sections where you can hear a "pause".  listen to the cd, you'll
see what i mean.

{section: 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.

{section: 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

Should I save myself or go back for the others because
