The Unknown Guitarist

1st verse
Under the bridge, a guitarist thinks back of his life so far
What has happened to him
How did he get so far
He once forgot about his love but now he has found it back
He’s so poor he can't afford a dinner snack

2nd verse
Wanting to be the next
Hendrix, Young, Page, Santana
Joan Jett, Clapton, Frusciante
Richards, Ronson, Prince, Slash
Will he ever get the chance to get out of this mess

Chorus
The unknown guitarist grabs his guitar and plays a great song
Dreaming of what could and should be
Playing ‘till his fingers bleed

3rd verse
The people walk on by fast, ignoring him while they shouldn’t
To listen to him, according to them, must be some kind of sin
Fearing he’s going to rob them, while he’s harmless and innocent
All he ever wanted was a chance, nobody’s willing to give him

4th verse
He strokes his hair behind his ears
Plays on as he closes his eyes
It has been a hard day for him
Who would wipe away his tears

Chorus

Bridge
My bus rides past him
I hope he notices my smile
Wish I could talk to him
Is it hopeless
