THE LOAD OUT CHORDS

[Start]

[Intro]
G C Em C D G C G
        
Bm7 G C Em C D
        
G C G
  


[Verse]
G                          
Now the seats are all empty
        C                Em   
Let the roadies take the stage
Em            C           D    G
  Pack it up and tear it down 
                     G                         
They're the first to come and the last to leave
C                             Em
Working for that minimum wage  
Em7            C             D    G C
They'll set it up in another town  


[Chorus]
G             Em             Eb  
 Tonight the people were so fine
C                        
They waited there in line
G                    Em           
And when they got up on their feet
          D        C
They made the show 
G                 
And that was sweet


[Verse]
    G                   
But I can hear the sound
   C                  D       Em    
Of slamming doors and folding chairs
Em     C                            D   
  And that's a sound they'll never know
G             C                            G
Now roll them cases out and lift them amps 
                  C                              G
Haul them trusses down and get 'em up them ramps 
               G                 
'cause when it comes to moving me
C                 D             
You know you guys are the champs
G                                           
But when that last guitar's been packed away
Bm       C            D     Em  
You know that I still wanna play
C            G                            
So just make sure you got it all set to go
D                   Em D    
Before you come for my piano

[Verse]
        Em            Eb 
But the band's on the bus
C                        
And they're waiting to go
G                  Em   
We gotta drive all night
           D       C      
And do the show in Chicago
G                      
Or Detroit I don't know
C                        D   Em
We do so many shows in a row  
    C                        D    G
And these towns all look the same 


[Chorus]
                             Bm7        
We just pass the time in the hotel rooms
Cmaj7 C             Em       
And   wander 'round backstage
           C                                    
'til those lights come up and we hear that crowd
       D                   
And we remember why we came

[Verse]
D          G                                Em
Now we got  Country and Western on the bus  
    Em7      C    
R & B we got Disco
C7 C                                 G     
  And eight tracks and cassettes in stereo
       G                             
And we got rural scenes and magazines
           C               Em
And we got truckers on the CB
                   C            G    
And we got Richard Pryor on the video
       G                                
We got time to think of the ones we love
          C          Em  
While the miles roll away
C                                 
The only time that seems too short
       D                       
Is the time that we get to play


[Chorus]
G                                C         
People you've got the power over what we do
        G                             C              
You can sit there and wait or you can pull us through
G                       
Come along sing the song
    C                      D    
You know that you can't go wrong
                 G                             
'cause when that morning sun comes beating down
             C               Em  
You're gonna wake up in your town
C                               
But we'll be scheduled to appear
  D        Em7   D             
A thousand miles away from here
