C  Am F

[Verse 1]
   C                Am   F            C  G
His guitar is laughing and filling the room
   C        Am            F          G     E
Everybody's smiling while he's singing his blues
Am            C           F              Am
You might not understand just what it is he's saying
C                G
But it's the truth


[Verse 2]

C           Am      F                    C       G
His face is dancing, his eyes bugging out
C               Am   F                       G   E
Looking in your soul and pulling it right out
Am            C               F                 Am
You might not understand just what it is you're hearing
C                      G
But it's a joyful sound

[Chorus 1]

Ab                                Eb
Door opened up and he walked right through
Ab                              Eb
Some folks thought he was just pretending
Ab                                      Eb
Telling those stories, just like they're true
F
He fell out on stage
C
With a smile on his face
G
Never giving away
F
The ending

[Verse 3]

C                 Am  F            C   G
Just blowing his smoke and playing along
C                 Am     F                  G E
He turned into the light of his favorite song
Am                  C           F               Am
Looked down at his watch and said "it's time to go"
C              G
And he was gone

[Chorus 2]

Ab                                Eb
Door opened up and he walked right through
Ab                             Eb
Some folks thought he was just pretending
Ab                                   Eb
Telling those stories, just like they're true
F
He fell out on stage
C
With a smile on his face
G
Never giving away
F
The ending

[Verse 4]

C             Am           F           C   G
His guitar is laughing and filling the room
C        Am               F                G    E
Everybody's smiling while he's singing his blues
Am         C                F          Am
It's hard to understand but I think he understood
C      G
Yes he knew
C           G
Yes he knew oh he knew
F
The ending

[Outro]
