Chords with lyrics
Jackson Browne - The Load Out / Stay
Intro:
G+G - B minorBm - C majorC - E minorEm - C majorC - D MajorD - G(opmaat) - G/C - G+G (2x)
G+G B minorBm C majorC E minorEm
Now the seats are all empty, let the roadies take the stage
C majorC D MajorD - G+G B minorBm
Pack it up and tear it down. They're the first to come and the last to leave
C majorC E minorEm
Working for that minimum wage
C majorC D MajorD G+G - G/C - G+G
they'll set it up in another town
E minorEm BB C majorC A7A7
Tonight the people were so fine, they waited there in line
G+G E minorEm C majorC
And when they got up on their feet, they made the show
G+G B minorBm
And that was sweet, but I can hear the sound
C majorC (D MajorD) E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G - G/C - G+G
Of slamming doors and folding chairs, and that's a sound they'll never know
G+G C majorC
Now, roll them cases out and lift them amps
G+G C majorC
Haul them trusses down and get 'em up them ramps
G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD
'Cause when it comes to moving me, you know you guys are the champs
G+G B minorBm C majorC E minorEm
But when that last guitar's been packed away, you know that I still want to play
C majorC D MajorD
So just make sure you've got it all set to go before you come for my piano
G+G - B minorBm - C majorC - E minorEm - C majorC - D MajorD - G(opm.) - G/C - G+G (2x)
E minorEm BB C majorC A7A7
But the band's on the bus and they're waiting to go
G+G E minorEm C majorC
We've got to drive all night and do a show in Chicago
G+G B minorBm C majorC E minorEm
Or Detroit, I don't know, we do so many shows in a row
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And these towns all look the same
B minorBm C majorC E minorEm
We just pass the time in our hotel rooms and wander 'round backstage
C majorC D MajorD
Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd and we remember why we came
G+G - B minorBm - C majorC - E minorEm - C majorC - D MajorD - G(opm.) - G/C - G+G (2x)
G+G E minorEm
Now we got country and western on the bus, R & BB
C majorC G+G
We got disco on eight tracks and cassettes in stereo
B minorBm C majorC E minorEm
We've got rural scenes and magazines, and we got truckers on CD
C majorC D MajorD - G+G B minorBm
We got Richard Pryor on the video. And we got time to think of the ones we love
C majorC E minorEm C majorC
While the miles roll away, but the only time that seems too short
D MajorD
Is the time that we get to play
G+G C majorC
People you've got the power over what we do
G+G C majorC
You can sit there and wait, or you can pull us through
G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD
Come along, sing the song, you know that you can't go wrong
G+G B minorBm
'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
C majorC E minorEm
You're gonna wake up in your town
C majorC D MajorD
But we'll be scheduled to appear a thousand miles away from here
G-Em-C D MajorD G-Em-C-D G-Em-C
People, stay... just a little bit longer , we wanna play-hey,
D MajorD G-Em-C-D
just a little bit longer
G+G Em-C-D G+G Em-C-D
If the promoter don't mind, and the union don't mind
G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
If we'll take a little time and we'll leave it all behind, sing... one more song
(N.C.) G-Em-C D MajorD G-Em-C-D
Oh, won't you stay... just a little bit longer
G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
Please, please, please say, you will, say you will
BB - E(?) - A augmentedA - D MajorD
(N.C.) G-Em-C D MajorD G-Em-C-D
Oh, won't you stay... just a little bit longer.
G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G-Em-C-D
Oh, please, please stay just a little bit more, ehehe
G+G Em-C-D G+G Em-C-D
Now if the promoter don't mind, and the roadies don't mind
G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
We can take a little time and we'll leave it all behind sing one more song
G+G - E minorEm - C majorC - D MajorD (repeat a few times, fade out)
