Intro:
G Bm C Em C D G
G Bm C Em
Now the seats are all empty, let the roadies take the stage
C D G
Pack it up and tear it down…
G Bm C Em
They're the first to come and last to leave, working for that minimum wage
C D G
They'll set it up in another town…
G 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
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 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 got it all set to go, before you come for my piano
Instrumental: (Intro)
G Bm C Em C D G
G Em B C A7
But the band's on the bus… and they're waiting to go
G C D 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…
G Bm C Em
We just pass the time in our hotel rooms, and wonder 'round backstage
C D
Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd and we remember why we came…
Intrumental: (Intro) X 2
G Bm C Em C D G
G Bm C Em C D G
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
G Bm C Em
We got rural scenes and magazines, and we got truckers on CB
C D G
And we got Richard Pryor on the video…
G Bm C Em
We got time to think of the ones we love, while the miles roll away
Em C D
But the only time that seems too short, 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 you can't go wrong
G Bm
Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
C Em
You're going to wake up in your town
C D
But we'll be scheduled to appear a thousand miles away from here
STAY…….
G Em C D G Em C D
People stay just a little bit longer
G Em C D G Em C D
We want to play just a little bit longer
G Em C D
Now if 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 and sing
Em
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
oh please, please please,
Em
say you will……
Oh won’t you stay
Just a little bit longer
Oh won’t you stay
Just a little bit longer
And the promoter don’t mind
And the roadies don’t mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song
