The Load Out & Stay
By Todd
(Intro) G G/C C Em C D G C G D G Bm C Em C D G C G D
G G C Em
Now the seats are all empty let the roadies take the stage
C G G Bm
Pack it up and tear it down they're the first to come and the last to leave
C Em C G C G
Working for that minimum wage they'll set it up in another town
Em Adim7 C A#dim7
Tonight the people were so fine, they waited there in line
G Em D C (hold)
And when they got up on their feet, they made the show
G Bm
And that was sweet, but I can hear the sound
C Em
Of slamming doors and folding chairs
C D G C G D
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 moving me
C D
You know you guys are the champs
G Bm
But when that last guitar's been packed away
C Em
You know that I still want to play
C
So just make sure you've got it all set to go
D
Before you come for my piano
(Interlude) G G/C C Em C D G C G D G Bm C Em C D G C G D
Em Adim7 C A#dim7
But the band's on the bus and they're waiting to go
G Em D C (hold)
We've got to drive all night and do a show in Chicago
G G C Em
Or Detroit, I don't know we do so many shows in a row
C G G Bm
And these towns all look the same we just pass the time in our hotel rooms
C Em
And wander 'round backstage
C
Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd
D
And we remember why we came
(Interlude) G G/C C Em C D G C G D G Bm C Em C D G C G D
G Em
Now we got country and western on the bus, R & B
C G D
We got disco eight tracks and cassettes in stereo
G Bm
We've got rural scenes and magazines
C Em
We got truckers on CB
C G D
We got Richard Pryor on the video
G Bm
And we got time to think of the ones we love
C Em
While the miles roll away
C
But the only time that seems too short
D
Is the time that we get to play
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 Bm C D
Come along, sing the song you know that you can't go wrong
G G
'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
C Em C
You're going to wake up in your town but we'll be scheduled to appear
D
A thousand miles away from here
G Em C D G Em C D
People, stay just a little bit longer
G Em C D G Em C D
We wanna play just a little bit longer
G Em C D G Em C D
If the promoter don't mind and the union don't mind
G Em C D
We can take a little time and we'll leave it all behind
Em (hold)
Singin' one more song
G Em C D G Em C D
Oh, won't you stay just a little bit longer...
G Em C D Em (hold)
Please, please, please, say you will, say you will
(Solo) B Em A D
G Em C D G Em C D
Oh, won't you stay just a little bit longer Oh
G Em C D G Em C D
Please, please stay just a little bit more, ehehe
G Em C D G Em C D
If the promoter don't mind and the roadies don't mind
G Em C D
We can take a little time and we'll leave this all behind
Em (hold) G Em C D (repeat and fade)
Singin' one more song
