Intro:
G - Bm - C - Em - C - D - G(opmaat) - G/C - G (2x)
G Bm C Em
Now the seats are all empty, let the roadies take the stage
C D - G Bm
Pack it up and tear it down. They're the first to come and the last to leave
C Em
Working for that minimum wage
C D G - G/C - G
they'll set it up in another town
Em B C A7
Tonight the people were so fine, they waited there in line
G Em C
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 (D) Em C D G - G/C - G
Of slamming doors and folding chairs, 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 C D
'Cause when it comes to moving me, you know you guys are the champs
G Bm C Em
But when that last guitar's been packed away, you know that I still want to play
C D
So just make sure you've got it all set to go before you come for my piano
G - Bm - C - Em - C - D - G(opm.) - G/C - G (2x)
Em B C A7
But the band's on the bus and they're waiting to go
G Em C
We've got to drive all night and do a show in Chicago
G Bm C Em
Or Detroit, I don't know, we do so many shows in a row
C D G
And these towns all look the same
Bm C Em
We just pass the time in our hotel rooms and wander 'round backstage
C D
Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd and we remember why we came
G - Bm - C - Em - C - D - G(opm.) - G/C - G (2x)
G Em
Now we got country and western on the bus, R & B
C G
We got disco on eight tracks and cassettes in stereo
Bm C Em
We've got rural scenes and magazines, and we got truckers on CB
C D - G Bm
We got Richard Pryor on the video. And we got time to think of the ones we love
C Em C
While the miles roll away, 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 Bm
'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
C Em
You're gonna wake up in your town
C D
But we'll be scheduled to appear a thousand miles away from here
G-Em-C D G-Em-C-D G-Em-C
People, stay... just a little bit longer , we wanna play-hey,
D G-Em-C-D
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 Em
If we'll take a little time and we'll leave it all behind, sing... one more song
(N.C.) G-Em-C D G-Em-C-D
Oh, won't you stay... just a little bit longer
G Em C D Em
Please, please, please say, you will, say you will
