Guitar Man

                 D7
Well, I quit my job down at the car 
wash,
D7
Left my mama a goodbye note,By 
sundown I'd left Kingston,
D7
With my guitar under my coat,
              G7sus4      G7
I hitchhiked all the way down to 
Memphis,
G7
Got a room at the YMCA,
         D7
For the next three weeks I went 
huntin' them nights,
D7
Just lookin' for a place to play,
          A7
Well, I thought my pickin' would set
 'em on fire,
      G7                           
But nobody wanted to hire a guitar 
 D7   G7
man.

[Verse]
                        D7
Well, I nearly 'bout starved to 
death down in Memphis,
D7
I run outta money and luck,
D7
So I bummed me a ride down to Macon,
 Georgia,
D7
On a overloaded poultry truck,

            G7sus4    G7
I thumbed on down to Panama City,
G7
Started pickin' out some of them all
 night bars,
D7
Hopin' I could make myself a dollar,
D7
Makin' music on my guitar,
         A7
Got the same old story at them all 
night piers,
       G7                          
There ain't no room around here for
           D7
 a guitar man

[Spoken]
N.C.
We don't need a guitar man, son

[Verse]
G7
So I slept in the hobo jungles,
G7
Roamed a thousand miles of track,
        D7
Til I found myself in Mobile 
Alabama,
D7
In a club they call Big Jack's,
         G7
A little four-piece band was 
jammin',
G7
So I took my guitar and I sat in,
   E7
I showed 'em what a band would sound
 like,
         A7
With a swingin' little guitar man.

[Spoken]
N.C.
Show 'em, son

[Chorus]
                    D7
If you ever take a trip down to the 
ocean,find yourself down around 
Mobile,
D7
Make it on out to a club called 
Jack's, If you got a little time to 
kill,
     G7sus4       G7
Just follow that crowd of 
people,You'll wind up out on his 
dance floor,
D7
Diggin' the finest little five-piece
 group,Up and down the Gulf of 
Mexico,
A7                                
Guess who's leadin' that 
                G7
five-piece band, Well, wouldn't ya 
know,
it's that swingin' little guitar 
 D7  G7 D7
man.
