[Bm] [G] [C]
[Em]
[D] [G] [C]
[G] Now the seats are all empty Let the [C] roadies [D] take the [Em] stage
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 wage
[Em] They'll [C] set it up in another [D] town [G] Tonight [Em] the people were [D#] so fine
[C] They waited there [C#] in line [G] And when they got up on [Em] their feet
[D] They made the [G] show And that was sweet
But I can hear the sound Of [C] slamming doors [D] and folding [Em] chairs
That's [C] a sound [D] they'll never [G] know Roll them cases [C] out and lift them amps
[G] Haul them trusses [C] down and get them up them [G] ramps
When it comes to moving me You [C] know you guys are the [D] champs
[G] But when that last guitar's been packed away You know [C] that I still [D] wanna [Em] play
So just [C] make sure you've got it all set to go
Before you [D] [Em] come for my [D] piano
[G]
[Bm] [C] [Em]
[C] [D]
[G] [C] [G]
[Em]
[C] [D] [G]
But the [Em]
band's on the [D#m] bus And [C] they're waiting to [C#] go
[G] We've gotta drive all [Em] night And do [D] the show in [C] Chicago
[G] Or Detroit, I don't know We threw so many shows in [Em] a row
And these [C] towns all [D] look the [G] same We just pass the time in the hotel rooms
And [C] wander around [Em] backstage Till [C] those lights come up
And we hear that crowd And [D] we remember why we came

Now we got country and western on the bus [Em]
R&B
We [C] got disco And 8-track syncs and [G] stereo
And
[D] [G] we got rural scenes in magazines And [C] we got truckers on the [Em] CB
And we got [C] Richard Pryor on the video
[G] We got time to think of the ones we love [C] While the miles roll [Em] away
But [C] the only time that seems too short [D] Is the time that we get to play
[G] People, you've got the power [C] over what we do You [G] can sit there and wait or you [C] can build us through
Come [G] along, sing the song You know that you can't go [D] wrong
Cause when that morning sun comes beating down You're [C] gonna wake up in [Em] your town
But you'll be scheduled to appear [D] A [Em] thousand
