Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro. : - - -

Stanza I:

 Like a boat on the river, this bus is floatin’ down this old highway

 Lookin out the window, I think about how I got here today

 Anyone who’s anywhere had some help gettin’ there it’s true

 And one of the reasons why I get to do the things I do

Chorus i

 I met this angel with callous hands who let this boy into his band

 Under his wing, I learned to fly on these six strings through this life

 You can hear him in my playin’ although he’s gone

 And I owe him so much more just this song

Stanza II:

 Like a leaf that had fallen, I was driftin’ down the stream

 Mister guitar came into my life and let me build this dream

 His old Gretch’s still speakin’, it’s teachin’ all of us a ton

He was my A friend and my hero all wrapped up in one

Chorus ii

 I met this angel with callous hands who let this naïve boy into his band

 Under his wing I learned to fly on these six strings into the light

 I can still hear him playin’ although he’s gone

 And I owe him so much more than just this song

Bridge

 Every fake we see from every take we roll

 With every note we play even though they’re gone

 They live on,

 they ive on...
