Chords for Stay - Jackson Browne

Thank you.
I'd like to do a song I never played in public before.
[G] It's a brand new song. _ _
_ _ _ _ Sort of a tribute to uh_
I'm gonna come out here on the road and_
and to you too.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ [G] Now the seats _ are all empty
_ [C] Let the roadies take [Em] the stage
_ [G] Pack it [C] up and tear it [D] down
_ [G] _ _ _ They're the first to come and the last to leave
[C] Working for that minimum [Em] wage
_ _ [C] They'll set it up in another [D] town
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Tonight the [Em] people were so [D#] fine
_ [C] They waited there in [C#] line
[G] And they got up [Em] on their feet
[D] And they made the [G] show _ _ _
_ _ And that was sweet
But I can hear the sound
Of [C] slamming doors [D] and folding [Em] chairs
_ [C] That's a sound [D] they'll never [G] know _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Roll them cases [C] out and lift them in
[G] _ Haul them trusses down and get them up them _ ramps
When it comes to moving me
You know you guys are the [D] champs
But when that last guitar's been packed away
You know [C] that I still [D] wanna [Em] play
[G] So just [C] make sure you've got it all set to go
Before [D] you [Em] come for [D] my piano
_ [G] _ But _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ the _ band's ready [D#m] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
to [C#] go
_ [G] Gotta drive all [Em] night
And do [D] the show in [C] Chicago
_ Or _ [G] _ Detroit, _ I don't know
_ We do [C] so many [D] shows in a [Em] row
_ And these [C] towns [D] all look the [G] same
_ _ We just pass the time in the hotel rooms
[C] And wander around [Em] backstage
_ Till [C] those lights come up
And we hear that crowd
And [D] we remember why we came
_ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ Now we got country and western on the bus
_ [Em] _ _ Ah, we _ _ [G] got [C] disco
And 8 [Cm]-track synths and [G] stereo
_ _ _ _ [D] _
And we [G] got rural scenes and magazines
And we got [C] truckers [E] on the CD
[Em] _
[G] And we got Richard [C] Pryor on the [D] video
[G] You _ _ got time to think of the ones we love
While [C] the miles roll [Em] away _
But [C] the only time that seems too short
[D] Is the time that we get to play
[G] You, you got the power [C] over what we do
[G] You can sit there and wait
Or you [C] can build us to [G] come along
Sing the song
You [C] know that you can't go [D] _
wrong
Cause when [G] that morning sun comes beating down
[C] You're gonna wake up [Em] in your town
_ But [C] they'll be scheduled to appear
_ [D] A [Em] thousand [D] miles away from here
[G] People [Em] stay _
[C] _ just a little [G] bit longer _
[C] But _ [G] we wanna play [Em] _ [C] just a [D] little bit [G] _
[Em] longer
The _ [D] _ _ [G] promoter [Em] don't mind
[C] _ _ [G] And the union [Em] don't mind
[C] _ [D] It will take a [Em] little time
[C] And we'll leave it [D] all behind
[Em] _
Run the song
Oh, won't [G] you stay _ [Em] _ _ [C] just [D] a little bit [G] longer
_ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G]
Please, [Em] _ [C] please, please
[D] Say you [Em] will, say you will _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ Oh, [A] won't _
[G] _ [Em] you [C] stay just [D] a [G] little bit longer
[Em] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G]
Please, please, [Em] please
_ [C] Just [D] a little [G] bit [Em] longer
[C] Oh, _ [D] _
[G] won't you stay just a little bit longer
The promoter [Em] don't [C] mind
_ [D] _
[G] And the union [Em] don't [C] mind
_ [D] _
[G] It will take a [Em] little time
[C] And we'll leave it [D] all behind
