Intro. : C - F - C - F
Stanza I:
Like a b[C]oat on the river,[G] this[Am] bus is floatin? [G]down this old hig[F]hway
L[G]ookin out the window, I think about how I got here t[C]oday
A[C]nyone who?s [G]anywhere[Am] had some help[G] gettin? there[F] it?s true
A[G]nd one of the reasons why I get to do the things I do
Chorus I:
I met this [C]angel with callous hands [Am]who let this [F]boy [Em]into his [G]band
Under his [C]wing, I learned to [Am]fly on these [F]six strings [Em]through this li[G]fe
You can [F]hear him in my p[C]layin? al[G]though [Abm]he?s gone [Am][G]
And I [F]owe him so much m[G]ore just this s[C]ong [A]
Stanza II:
Like a [D]leaf that had fa[A]llen,[Bm] I was [A]driftin? down the [G]stream
M[A]ister guitar came into my life and let me build this [D]dream
His old [D]Gretch?s still s[A]peakin?, [Bm]it?s teachin? [A]all of us a [G]ton
He was my (A)friend and my hero all wrapped up in one
Chorus II:
I met this [D]angel with callous [Bm]hands who let this n[G]ave b[F#m]oy into his [A]band
Under his [D]wing I learned to [Bm]fly on these [G]six s[F#m]trings into [A]the light
I can s[G]till hear him [D]playin? al[A]though [Bbm]he?s [Bm]gone [A]
And I [G]owe him so much [A]more than just this [D]song[G][D][G]
Bridge:
Every [A]fake we [Bm]see from every [G]take we [F#m]roll
With every [A]note we [Bm]play even [G]though they?re [F#m]gone [A]

t[Bm]hey i[A]ve on.[G]..
