Who  draws the crowd?
 Who plays  so loud?
 Baby it's the guitar  man
Who's  gonna steal the show
 You know  baby it's the guitar  man
 He can make  you love he can make  you cry
 He will bring  you down
 He will get  you high
Something  keeps him going
Miles  and miles away
 To find  another place to play
 And night  after night who treats  you right
 Baby it's the guitar  man
Who's  on the radio?
 You know  baby it's the guitar  man
 When he comes  to town and you see his face
 And you think  you might like to take  his place
Something  keeps him drifting miles  and miles away
Searching  for the songs to play
   (  bass)
 Then you listen to the music and you'd like to sing along
   (  bass)
 And you want to get the meaning out of each and every song
   (  bass)
 And you find yourself a message and some words to call your own
 and take 'em home
 He can make  you love he can get  you high
 He will bring  you down he will make  you cry
Something  keeps him moving
 But no  one seems to know
What  it is that makes him go
   (  bass)
 Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
   (  bass)
 The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
   (  bass)
 But he never seems to notice he's just got to find another place
 to play
