Who's on the radio, you go and listen to the guitar man
[Chorus II]
        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
searching for the songs to play
[Bridge]
         Am            AmM7          Am7               D Dsus4 D
Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along

    G               G/F#           Em                   E7
You want to get the meaning out of each and every song

        Am              AmM7
And you find yourself a message and some

Am7                D       Dsus4 D   E Esus E   Cmaj7
words to call your own and take them home
[Solo] G C D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D x2 [Chorus III]
       Em                    C
He can make you love, he can get you high

        Em                         A
He will bring you down, then he'll make, make you cry

Cmaj7                           Bm7
Something keeps him moving, but no one seems to know

Am7                       D
what it is that makes him go
[Outro]
         Am              AmM7            Am7                  D Dsus4 D
Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim

    G               G/F#           Em                      E7
The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin

       Am             AmM7              Am7
But he never seems to notice, he's just got to find

D       Dsus4 D  E       Cmaj7      E     Cmaj7     E
another place to play….........Fade away…..… got to play…

Cmaj7   E    Cmaj7      E     Cmaj7     E
…… fade away………… Got to play…………...Fade away
