Guitar Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Well, I quit my [C]job down at the car wash
Left my mama a goodbye note
By sundown I'd left Kingston
With my guitar under my coat
I hitchhiked [F]all the way down to Memphis
Got a room at the YMCA
For the [C]next three weeks,
I went huntin' them nights
Just lookin' for a place to play
Well, I [G]thought my pickin'
would set 'em on fire
But [F]nobody wanted
to hire a guitar [C]man[G]

[Verse 2]
Well, I nearly 'bout [C]starved
to death down in Memphis
I run outta money and luck
So I bought me a ride down to Macon,
Georgia on a overloaded poultry truck
I thumbed on [F]down to Panama City
Started pickin' out some o' them all night bars
[C]Hopin' I could make myself a dollar
Makin' music on my guitar
I got the [G]same old story at them all night piers
There [F]ain't no room around here
for a guitar [C]man
We don't need a guitar man, son

[Chorus 1]
So I [F]slept in the hobo jungles
Roamed a thousand miles of track
Till I [C]found myself in Mobile Alabama
At a club they call Big Jack's
A little [F]four-piece band was jammin'
So I took my guitar and I sat in
I [D]showed 'em what a band would sound like
With a [G]swingin' little guitar man

[Interlude 1]
Show 'em, son
[C][C][F][F]
[C][C][C][C]

[Solo 1]
[C][C][C][C]
[F][F][C][C]
[G][F][C][C][C][G]

[Verse 3]
So if you ever take a [C]trip down to the ocean
Find yourself down around Mobile
Oh, make it on out to a club called Jack's
If you got a little time to kill
Just [F]follow that crowd of people
You'll wind up out on his dance floor
[C]Diggin' the finest little five piece group
Up and down the Gulf of Mexico
[G]Guess who's leadin' that five-piece band
Well, [F]wouldn't ya know,

[Interlude 2]
it's that swingin' little guitar
[C](man)[C][F][F]
[C][C][C][C]

[Outro 1]
[C][C][C][C]
[F][F][C][C]
[Fade out]
