Jackson Browne - The load-out

Now the ^Gseats are all ^Bmempty, Let the ^Croadies take the ^Emstage. Pack it ^Cup and tear it ^Gdow^C/Gn.

And ^Emlast to leave. Working ^Cfor that minimum ^Emwage. They ll ^Cset it up in a^Gnother town^C/G. Tonight the ^Empeople were so ^B7fine. They ^Cwaited there in ^A7line, And when they ^Ggot up on their ^Emfeet They made the ^Cshow^G. And that was sweet but I can ^Bmhear the sound, Of slamming ^Cdoors and folding ^Emchairs. And that s a ^Csound they ll ^Dnever ^Gknow^C/G.

Now ^Groll them cases out and ^Clift them amps. ^GHaul them trusses down and ^Cget em up them ramps. ^GCause when it comes to ^Bmmovin me, You ^Cknow, you guys are the ^Dchamps. But when that ^Glast guitar s been ^Cpacked away, ^GYou know that ^CI still want to ^Emplay. So just make ^Csure you got it all set to ^Emgo, Before you ^Dcome, for my pian^Go.

But the ^Emband s on the ^B7bus, And they re ^Cwaiting to ^A7go. We ve got to ^Gdrive all ^Emnight, And do a ^Dshow in ^CChica^Ggo. Or De^Gtroit, I don t ^Bmknow, We do ^Cso many shows in a ^Emrow. And these ^Ctowns all ^Dlook the ^Gsame. We just pass the time in the ^Chotel rooms, And ^Gwander ^Cround back^Emstage. Till those ^Clights come up, And we ^Emhear that crowd, And we re^Gmember ^Dwhy we came.

Now, we got ^GCountry & West^Cern on the bus, ^EmR & B. We got ^CDisco and 8-tracks, And cassettes in ster^Geo. We ve got rural scenes &a^Cmp; magazines, And we ve got ^Gtruckers on C^EmB. And we got Richard ^CPryor on the ^Dvideo. We got ^Gtime to think of the ^Cones we love, While the ^Gmiles roll a^Emway. But the ^Conly time that ^Emseems too short, Is the ^Gtime that we get to ^Dplay.

People ^Gyou ve got the power, Over ^Cwhat we do, You can ^Gsit there and wait, Or you can ^Cpull us through. Come a^Glong, sing the ^Csong, ^GYou know that ^Emyou can t go ^Cwrong. Cause when that ^Gmorning sun comes ^Cbeatin down, You re going to ^Gwake up in your ^Emtown.

But ^Cwe ll be scheduled t^Emo appear, A ^Dthousand ^Cmiles away from ^Ghere.

People ^Gst^Emay ^Cjust a ^Dlittle bit ^Glo^Emnge^Cr.^D We want to ^Gpl^Emay ^Cay just a ^Dlittle bit ^Glo^Emnge^Cr.^D Now, the pro^Gmoter don t ^Emmin^Cd.^D And the ^Gunion don t ^Emmin^Cd.^D If we ^Gtake a little ^Emtime, And we ^Cleave it all be^Dhind, And ^Emsing (one more song...) Oh oh, won t you ^Gst^Emay ^Cay. Just a ^Dlittle bit ^Glonger ^Emer-e^Cr ^Der. ^GPlease, ^Emplease, ^Cplease, ^Dsay you ^Emwill.

Oh won t you ^Gstay^Em-ay-^Cay. Just a ^Dlittle bit ^Glo^Emnge^Cr.^D Oh-oh, ^Gplease, ^Emplease, ^Cstay-ay-ay. Just a ^Dlittle bit ^Gmo^Emre.^{C D}

Now, the pro^Gmoter don t ^Emmin^Cd.^D And the ^Groadies don t ^Emmin^Cd.^D If we ^Gtake a little ^Emtime, And we ^Cleave this all be^Dhind, And sing ^Emone more song.
