Jackson Browne – The Load-Out - Stay (Guitar)

G*                                
Now the seats are all empty

            C*             Em*
Let the roadies take the stage

        C*                  G D
Pack it up and tear it down

G                                G
They're the first to come and last to leave

 C                        Em
Working for that minimum wage

 C                                G         C G
They'll set it up in another town

Em*                         D7*
Tonight the people were so fine

C*                   A7*
They waited there in line

G                               C                 G    G
And when they got up on their feet they made the show

G
And that was sweet,

G
But I can hear the sound

       C                        Em
Of slamming doors and folding chairs

               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                         Em
'Cause when it comes to moving me

C                          D
You know you guys are the champs

                G                 C
But when that last guitar's been packed away

Em                            C
You know that I still want to play

C*
So just make sure you got it all set to go

D*
Before you come for my piano

Em*                   D7*
But the band's on the bus

C*                     A7*
And they're ready to go

              G                  C            G      G
We've gotta drive all night and do a show in Chicago

G
Or Detroit, I don't know

          C              Em
We do so many shows in a row

          C                  G    D
And these towns all look the same

        G                              
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

G                                 G
Now we got country and western on the bus

Em          C                                       G
R&B, we got disco in eight tracks and cassettes in stereo

           G
We've got rural scenes and magazines

               C              Em
And We've got truckers on the cb

          C                     G     D
We've 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
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
You can sit there and wait

            C
Or you can pull us through

       G              G
Come along, sing the song

      C                 D
You know 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*
A thousand miles away from here

D            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
The promoter don't mind.

         G          Em   C   D
And the union don't mind

      G             Em           C             D
if we take a little time and we leave it all behind

     Em
sing 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
Please, please, please say, you will. Say you will.

             G Em C       D          G    Em  C  D
Oh, won't you stay just a little bit longer.

                  G Em C        D         G   Em   C   D
Oh, please, please stay just a little bit more. Hehehe,

            G          Em   C   D
now the promoter don't mind.

         G             Em   C   D
And the roadies don't mind,

      G             Em          C              D
if we take a little time and we leave it all behind

     Em
sing one more song.
