D E (Esus4 E)
And he hides off in the shadows of the stage
Chorus:
C/g Asus2 E
Because the roadie looks a 1000 miles with his eyes
C/g Asus2 E
And when the crowd roars: Brings a teardrop to the roadies eyes
Tears of pride
C/g
Because he brought you the show
Asus2
But you will never know
C/g
He's changing the strings
Asus2
While hiding in the wings
C/g Asus2 (let ring) E (powerchord if you want)
No matter how hard, the show must go on
Vers:
Then a beautiful girl come to me she
says, "hey can i suckka your dick"
i say yes, I am in love
then she quickly said, "I sucked your dick, now gimme that backstage pass"
I do not want you roadie, I want K.G's chode
Prechorus:
C/g Asus2
I'm standing at the threshold of your dreams
C/g Asus2
Without me there'd be no sound from those amps
C/g Asus2
Without me there'd be no lights on the stage
E
But you don't applaud for me
Chorus:
C/g
I am the roadie:
Asus2 (let ring) E
A lonesome warrior searching for a soul (no!)
C/g
I am the roadie:
Asus2 (let ring) E
I make the rock go!
C/g Asus2 C/g Asus2 C/g Asus2 E
Roadie, Roadie, ROAAADDDIEEEeee
