[Intro 1]
[D][C][D][Dsus4][D]
Sidemen come out [Dsus4]first

[Verse 1]
John Stockfish [D]base [Dsus4]guitar[D]
Looks at the world through the
[Dsus4]eye s of Nashville,
[D]The Riverboat and [Dsus4]Charlie M[D]cCoy

[Verse 2]
He's just a boy
[G]The[A] lea[D]d g[Dsus4]uitarist [D]Red Shea[Dsus4]
who's really [C]come [D]a long, long way
Since rythym rocker jingle [Dsus4]jangle
And [D]go [G]Red![A]

[Verse 3]
And [D]Lightfoot
Edwardian, [Dsus4]suddenly [D]striped
His hair blondish and poetic
He is less [C]than vinyl [D]perfect
His foot is a precise anchor for the
husk and vibrance of his [Dsus4]voice
[D]He is the

[Verse 4]
[G]image of Al[A]berta
[G]The side street near [A]Chicago
[G]The grim [A]beauty of [D]Toron[G]to[D][A]
[D]He is an

[Verse 5]
artist
He [G]is [D]an artist[A]
[D]He is [G]an [D]artist painting sistine mas[G]ter
[D]pieces of [G]pine and fur and [D]backwoods
[G]Still [D]echos long [G]ago the win[D]ter night
of black July and [G]then the [D]outcome
Of an early clev[G]eland [D]rainfall[G][D][A][D]

[Verse 6]
I sit [D]softly amon[G]g the rest w[D]aiting there
for [G]him to paint his [D]pictures[G][D][A]
[D]And as the go- go girl went round and[G] our hea[D]ds
were [A]in a [D]spin I thought about
The Crossroads,
[G]In the [D]Early Morning Rain and Rosanna

[Verse 7]
[D]
I'm not [Em]saying [A]that I'm sory
I'm just [Em]telling you [A]this story
And when [Em]Lightfoot's magic [A]calls
You can write it on your walls
'Cause that's what walls are for
[D][G]

[Verse 8]
[D]

[Outro 1]
He is an artist.
