Guitar Man by Kip Moore
Guitar Man
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 3rd fret
[Verse 1]
E A E
Well, I woke to the rise, sun going down
B
Stale taste of whiskey, fresh on my mouth
E A E
Hot cup of coffee, smoke in my hand
B E
Another day in the life of the guitar man
A E
La de da
[Verse 2]
A E
Well last night was a good night as I reached in my jeans
B
Crumpled up ones, a few tens in between
E A E
And a red head named Annie, she's still fast asleep
B E
Made me make her a promise, she knows I can't keep
A E
La de da
[Verse 3]
A E
Time to fire up that two tone bucket of rust
B
Throw my amp and my case in the back of my truck
E A E
Breathing my freedom, with the windows rolled down
B E
Forty-six miles till the next nameless town
A E
La de da
[Verse 4]
A E
Well, the place is still empty when I walk in the door
B
Stench from the beer, spilling up through the floor
E A E
Give an eye to sweet Lisa, she mixes the drinks
B E
Life's been hard on her, but she's been good to me
A E
La de da
[Verse 5]
E A E
Off in the shadows, stands a stool and a stage
E B
Where many souls before me were put on display
E A E
I take one last breath, time to pay some more dues
B E
That won't add up to nothing but tips and cheap booze
[Chorus]
A E
Yeah, the fruits of my labor is when the crowd sings along
B
Nothing short of a savior I go home alone
E A E
I'm an empty, faceless spotlight mike-stand
E
I'll getcha high, I'll getcha low
B E A E
I'm the guitar man
[Verse 6]
A E
Well they'll ask for more love songs and I'll play with a smile
B
To help them hold on or forget for a while
E A E
They can fill up that jukebox with a week's worth of pay
B E A E
But it can't fill their happy and it can't fill their pain
[Verse 7]
A E
No drums, no pianos, no sweet harmonies
B
It's all in a song and it's all on me
E A E
Won't find nothing fancy I'm a tired one man band
B E
I'm the picking and grinning guitar man
[Chorus]
A E
Yeah, the fruits of my labor is when the crowd sings along
B
Nothing short of a savior I go home alone
E A E
I'm an empty, faceless spotlight mike-stand
E
I'll getcha high, I'll getcha low
B E A E B E A E B E
I'm the guitar man
[Verse 8]
A E
Well I had me a pretty baby, thought she was the one
B
But she soon grew tired, this love on the run
E A E
Said she felt second, told me I had to choose
B E A E
She's back in Georgia and I'm there with you
[Verse 9]
A E
The end of the night, we'll all be best friends
B
Then strangers till I roll through town again
E A E
I'll yell out hey Lisa something cold in a can
B E
One for the road for the guitar man
[Chorus]
A E
Yeah, the fruits of my labor is when the crowd sings along
B
Nothing short of a savior, still I go home alone
E A E
I'm an empty, faceless spotlight mike-stand
E
I'll getcha high, I'll getcha low
B E
I'm the guitar man
E B E A E
I'll play em fast, I'll play em slow, I'm the guitar... man
E B E A E B E
Yeah

All the little "~" symbols simply mean to let the note ring out, no actual vibrato is expected
to be applied to each note however it's fun to throw them in wherever it is possible and sounds good
Well, I woke to the rise, sun going down
Still taste the whiskey, still fresh on my mouth
Hot cup of coffee, smoke in my hand
Another day in the life of the guitar man
La de da
Well last night was a good night as I reached in my jeans
Crumpled up ones, a few tens in between
And a red head named Annie, she's still fast asleep
Made me make her a promise, she knows I can't keep

Throw my amp and my case in the back of my truck
