[Verse 1]
A               D
I am a bus driver
    E                A
and it's four in the morning
                        D      
And I'm pressing out my clothes 
           E
beside my bed
A                          D     
Fourteen years been on the job 
       E          A
and with many miles behind
Still I'm up at three thirty to make
 D                 E
 sure I'm there on time
A                             D   
And my car gets me along just fine
 E                  A
 to and from the station
                      D            
But my castle is this Houston Metro
 E
 Bus
A                        D
My first stop is Ashbury
         E                    A
And that sign's been gone for years
                    D              
but same the people wait cause they
 E                 C
 know that I'll be there.


[Chorus]
               D            A    
And what would you say if I told 
E          F#m           C
you that I won't be by today?
          D      E            D  
Would you say that I'm just a bus
    A
 driver
    C         E
and what do I know,
           D         A
I'm just a bus driver
    C         E
and what do I know,
           D         A
I'm just a bus driver
    C         E       D    A
and what do I know?


[Verse 2]
Well, I'm always there by five 
   D
fifteen
    E                A
and lately I've been early
                             D     
'cause Judith likes to be in early 
       E
to the bank.

A                            D   
And she gives me conversation and
   E              A
 a token good for riding.
                        D      E  
Says she's happy all alone
   A

And then there's Charles in retail 
D
sales;
      E                 A
and I hope they pay him well
                            D    E
for the work that young man does
A                                D
Cause I've never seen the inside
     E              A
of a custom refrigerator
                    D         E   
but I know he's the first and last
     C
 one there


[Chorus]
               D            A    
And what would you say if I told 
E          F#m           C
you that I won't be by today?
          D      E            D  
Would you say that I'm just a bus
       A
 driver
    C         E
and what do I know,
           D         A
I'm just a bus driver
          C         E
well then what do I know,
           D         A
I'm just a bus driver
          C              E   D
well then what do I know?
          E         A
well then what do I know?

[Verse 3]
A                             D
And I wonder what they do all day,
         E          A
at their respective works.
                            E   
Suppose they give money and take 
       A
money away.
A                          D
And I'm just orbiting this town
         E              A
with the post office my son.
                     D    E
And I'm circling again
A                                 D
And I wonder how this world would be
   E           A                  
if I was never here to drive this 
           D               E
bus around from Ashbury to Main.
A                              D
I guess this town would be the same
         E            A
but with one bus less exhaust.
                         D
But that bank and retail store,
          E               C
they just wouldn't be the same.
               D            A     
But what can I see from the 
  E           F#             C
limited confines of my bus driving 
seat?
     D
Only me.

And I'm just a bus driver
    C
and what do I know,
E          D         A
I'm just a bus driver
    C
and what do I know,
E           D         A
I'm  just a bus driver
    C
and what do I know,
E          D         A
I'm just a bus driver
    C
and what do I know,
E          D         A
I'm just a bus driver
         C
well and don't believe that,
E          D         A
I'm just a bus driver
         C
well and don't believe that,
E          D         A
I'm just a bus driver
       C
I said don't believe that,
E              D         A
We're all just bus drivers
         C          E     D  E A
and it's time to go home.
