[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

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

With a smile on his face

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

Everybody's smiling while he's singing his blues

It's hard to understand but I think he understood

Yes he knew oh he knew
