Jackson Browne - The load-out

Now the ^Fseats are all ^Amempty, Let the ^Froadies take the ^Amstage. Pack it ^Fup and tear it ^Fdow^F/Cn.

And ^Amlast to leave. Working ^Ffor that minimum ^Amwage. They ll ^Fset it up in a^Fnother town^F/C. Tonight the ^Ampeople were so ^E7fine. They ^Fwaited there in ^D7line, And when they ^Fgot up on their ^Amfeet They made the ^Fshow^F. And that was sweet but I can ^Amhear the sound, Of slamming ^Fdoors and folding ^Amchairs. And that s a ^Fsound they ll ^Gnever ^Fknow^F/C.

Now ^Froll them cases out and ^Flift them amps. ^FHaul them trusses down and ^Fget em up them ramps. ^FCause when it comes to ^Ammovin me, You ^Fknow, you guys are the ^Gchamps. But when that ^Flast guitar s been ^Fpacked away, ^FYou know that ^FI still want to ^Amplay. So just make ^Fsure you got it all set to ^Amgo, Before you ^Gcome, for my pian^Fo.

But the ^Amband s on the ^E7bus, And they re ^Fwaiting to ^D7go. We ve got to ^Fdrive all ^Amnight, And do a ^Gshow in ^FChica^Fgo. Or De^Ftroit, I don t ^Amknow, We do ^Fso many shows in a ^Amrow. And these ^Ftowns all ^Glook the ^Fsame. We just pass the time in the ^Fhotel rooms, And ^Fwander ^Fround back^Amstage. Till those ^Flights come up, And we ^Amhear that crowd, And we re^Fmember ^Gwhy we came.

Now, we got ^FCountry & West^Fern on the bus, ^AmR & B. We got ^FDisco and 8-tracks, And cassettes in ster^Feo. We ve got rural scenes &a^Fmp; magazines, And we ve got ^Ftruckers on C^AmB. And we got Richard ^FPryor on the ^Gvideo. We got ^Ftime to think of the ^Fones we love, While the ^Fmiles roll a^Amway. But the ^Fonly time that ^Amseems too short, Is the ^Ftime that we get to ^Gplay.

People ^Fyou ve got the power, Over ^Fwhat we do, You can ^Fsit there and wait, Or you can ^Fpull us through. Come a^Flong, sing the ^Fsong, ^FYou know that ^Amyou can t go ^Fwrong. Cause when that ^Fmorning sun comes ^Fbeatin down, You re going to ^Fwake up in your ^Amtown.

But ^Fwe ll be scheduled t^Amo appear, A ^Gthousand ^Fmiles away from ^Fhere.

People ^Fst^Amay ^Fjust a ^Glittle bit ^Flo^Amnge^Fr.^G We want to ^Fpl^Amay ^Fay just a ^Glittle bit ^Flo^Amnge^Fr.^G Now, the pro^Fmoter don t ^Ammin^Fd.^G And the ^Funion don t ^Ammin^Fd.^G If we ^Ftake a little ^Amtime, And we ^Fleave it all be^Ghind, And ^Amsing (one more song...) Oh oh, won t you ^Fst^Amay ^Fay. Just a ^Glittle bit ^Flonger ^Amer-e^Fr ^Ger. ^FPlease, ^Amplease, ^Fplease, ^Gsay you ^Amwill.

Oh won t you ^Fstay^Am-ay-^Fay. Just a ^Glittle bit ^Flo^Amnge^Fr.^G Oh-oh, ^Fplease, ^Amplease, ^Fstay-ay-ay. Just a ^Glittle bit ^Fmo^Amre.^{F G}

Now, the pro^Fmoter don t ^Ammin^Fd.^G And the ^Froadies don t ^Ammin^Fd.^G If we ^Ftake a little ^Amtime, And we ^Fleave this all be^Ghind, And sing ^Amone more song.
