The Load Out and Stay chords
Jackson Browne
G Bm C Em C D G C/G 2x
G Bm
Now the seats are all empty,
C Em
Let the roadies take the stage.
C G C/G
Pack it up and tear it down.
They re the first to come,
Em
And last to leave.
C Em
Working for that minimum wage.
C G C/G
They ll set it up in another town.
Em B7
Tonight the people were so fine.
C A7
They waited there in line,
G Em
And when they got up on their feet
C G
They made the show.
Bm
And that was sweet but I can hear the sound,
C Em
Of slamming doors and folding chairs.
C D G C/G
And that s a sound they ll never know.
G C
Now roll them cases out and lift them amps.
G C
Haul them trusses down and get em up them ramps.
G Bm
Cause when it comes to movin me,
C D
You know, you guys are the champs.
G C
But when that last guitar s been packed away,
G C Em
You know that I still want to play.
C Em
So just make sure you got it all set to go,
D G
Before you come, for my piano.
G Bm C Em C D G C/G 2x
Em B7
But the band s on the bus,
C A7
And they re waiting to go.
G Em
We ve got to drive all night,
D C G
And do a show in Chicago.
G Bm
Or Detroit, I don t know,
C Em
We do so many shows in a row.
C D G
And these towns all look the same.
C
We just pass the time in the hotel rooms,
G C Em
And wander round backstage.
C
Till those lights come up,
Em
And we hear that crowd,
G D
And we remember why we came.
G Bm C Em C D G C/G 2x

While the miles roll away.

But the only time that seems too short,

Is the time that we get to play.

People you ve got the power,

Over what we do,

You can sit there and wait,

Or you can pull us through.
