There is a lot of variation between the E – I tried to show the ‘rolls’ KG and JB are
doing in this song.
[Intro]
Em* Esus4 Em x2 D E
[Verse]
Em* Esus4 Em Em* Esus4 Em Esus4 Em Well it's 3pm time to lug the gear, got to get it on the stage, D E (Esus4 E) my muscles flex, my fucking sweat will save the day. Em* Esus4 Em Em* Esus4 Em Esus4 Em When I check the mic, I fucka check the mic, I fucka checka checka 1 2 3, D E I plug it in, I make it sound as good as it can be. Em* Esus4 Em Because the rocker's rock, and the roadie's road, Em* Em* Esus4 Em gotta take the mic, gotta take control, D E (Esus4 E) gotta get that shit up on that fucking stage. Em* Esus4 Em Cuz the roadie knows what the roadie knows Em* Em* Esus4 Em And the roadie knows that he wears black clothes 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 E (or E5) No matter how hard, the show must go on
[Verse]
Then a beautiful girl come to me she
says, "hey can I sucka 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 KG's chode
[Pre-chorus]
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 E A lonesome warrior searching for a soul (no!) C/G I am the roadie: Asus2 E I make the rock go! C/G Asus2 C/G Asus2 C/G Asus2 E Roadie, Roadie, ROAAADDDIEEEeee
