Verse 1
(C major) (G major) Well, I quit my job (C major)
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 major) all the way down to Memphis
Got a room at the YMCA
For the (C major) next three weeks I went
huntin' them nights
Just lookin' for a place to play
Well, I (G major) thought my pickin'
would set 'em on fire
(G minor) But (F major) nobody wanted to hire
a guitar man
(C major)
Verse 2
(G major)
Well, I nearly 'bout (C major) 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 major) down to Panama City
Started pickin' out some
o' them all night bars
Hop (C major) in' I could make myself a dollar
Makin' music on my guitar
I got the same (G major) old story
at them all night piers
There (F major) ain't no room around
here for a guitar (C major) man
We don't need a guitar man, son

Verse 3
So I slept (F major) in the hobo jungles
Roamed a thousand miles of track
Till I found (C major) myself in Mobile Alabama
At a club they call Big Jack's
A little (F major) four- piece band was jammin'
So I took my guitar and I sat in
I (D major) showed 'em what a band
would sound like
With a (G major) swingin' little guitar man
Interlude 1
Show 'em, son
(C major) (F major) (C major)
(F major)
(C major) (G minor) (F major) (C major)
(G major)
Verse 4
If you ever take a (C major) trip down to the ocean
Find yourself down around Mobile
Make it on out to a club called Jack's
If you got a little time to kill
Just (F major) follow that crowd of people
You'll wind up out on his dance floor
(C major) Diggin' the finest little five piece group
Up and down the Gulf of Mexico
Guess (G minor) who's leadin'
that five- piece band
Well, (F major) wouldn't ya know, it's that swingin' little guitar man, (C major)
Outro 1
yeah yeah
(F major) (C major)
(F major) (C major)
