Chords with lyrics
Intro. : FF
Stanza I:
FF
Like a boat on the river, this bus is floatin’ down this old highway
C majorC
Lookin out the window, I think about how I got here today
FF
Anyone who’s anywhere had some help gettin’ there it’s true
G+G
And one of the reasons why I get to do the things I do
Chorus I:
G+G
I met this angel with callous hands who let this boy into his band
G+G
Under his wing, I learned to fly on these six strings through this life
G+G
You can hear him in my playin’ although he’s gone
A augmentedA
And I owe him so much more just this song
Stanza II:
G+G
Like a leaf that had fallen, I was driftin’ down the stream
D MajorD
Mister guitar came into my life and let me build this dream
G+G
His old Gretch’s still speakin’, it’s teachin’ all of us a ton
He was my (A augmentedA)friend and my hero all wrapped up in one
Chorus II:
A augmentedA
I met this angel with callous hands who let this naïve boy into his band
A augmentedA
Under his wing I learned to fly on these six strings into the light
A augmentedA
I can still hear him playin’ although he’s gone
G+G
And I owe him so much more than just this song
Bridge:
F# minorF#m
Every fake we see from every take we roll
A augmentedA
With every note we play even though they’re gone
G+G
They live on,
G+G
