_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ [D] _ Now the seats _ are all empty _ Let [C] the roadies take the [Em] stage
Pack [C] it up, tear it [D] down _
[G] They're _ the first to come
And the last to leave [C] Working for that minimum [Em] wage
_ They're [C] all set up in another town [G] _ _ _ _ _ Tonight [Em] the people were [D#] so fine _
[C] They waited there in [C#] line When [G] they got up on [Em] their feet
They made the [G] show _ And _ _ that was sweet
_ I can hear the sound Of [C] slamming doors and folding [Em] chairs _
[C] That's a sound [D] they'll never [G] know _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ Roll them cases [C] out and lift them in
_ _ Haul them trusses down and get them up them ramps
When it comes to moving me You know you guys are the [D] _ champs
[G] But when that last guitar's been packed away You know [C] that I still wanna [Em] play
_ So just [C] make sure you got it all set to go Before [D] you come
[Em] _ _

[C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ But the [Em] _
band's on the [D#] bus _ And [C] they're waiting to [C#] go
We gotta drive all [Em] night And do the [D] 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] remember why we came

_ _ _ Now we got country and western on the bus
_ [Em] _ _ _
_ We [C] got disco _ and 8-tracks and cassettes in [G] the studio
We [D] _ _ _ _ [G] got rural scenes in magazines And [C] we got truckers on the [Em] CD
_ 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
_ [C] But the only time that seems too short [D] Is the time that we get to play
_ [G] You know you 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 [C] know that you can't go [D] wrong
_ Cause when [G] that morning sun comes beating down You're [C] gonna wake up in [Em] your town
_ _ [C] The bill be scheduled to appear _ [D] A [Em] thousand [D] miles away from here
[G] People stay _
[C] _ [D] just a little bit longer _
[C] We _ [G] won't _ play [C] _ just a little [G] bit _ [Em] longer
_ [C] _ _ [G] The promoter don't [C] buy And _ [G] the union don't [C] buy
_ _ [G] If we take a little [C] time And we leave it all behind [Em] and say
_ Run the song
Oh [G] won't you stay _ _
[C] _ just a little [G] bit longer _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ Please, _
[C] _ please
Say [Em] you will try your best

The [D] _ _ [G] promoter don't [Em] buy _
