The Load Out (chromatic)

  
The Load Out


Now the seats are all  em-pty
3   -3   -4   -4   4  -5 -4-33
Let the road-ies take the stage
7   -6*  -6*  6  6-5  -4   -4 
Pack it up and tear it down
-4   -3 -3  3   -4  -3 -33
They’re the first to come
3       -3   -4   -5  -5 
and last to leave
-4   -3  -3 -4-33
Work-ing for that min-i-mum wage
7    -6* -6*  6    6 -5 5    -4
They’ll set it up in an-oth-er town
-4      -4  -3 -3 3  3  -4  2  2-1
To-night the peo-ple were so  fine
6   6     6   6   6  -6* 7-6* -6*
They wait-ed there in line
6     6   6    6   -5 -4-3
And when they got up on their feet
-1   3    -3  -4  -5 -5-4 -4    6
they made the show
3     -4  -3  -33
And that was sweet—
-1   3   -3   -4
But I can hear the sound
-1 -4  4  -5   -5  -4-33
Of slam-ming doors
3   7   -6*  -6*6
and fold-ing chairs
-5   5    5    -4
And that’s a sound 
-1    -4  -3  3
they’ll nev-er know
3       -4 -3   3

Now roll them cas-es out
-1   -4   -5  -5  -4 -4 
and lift them amps
-3   -3   3    -3
And haul them truss-es down
-1   -4   -5   -5  -4   -4 
and get ‘em up them ramps
-3  -3   3  3   3    -3
’cause when it comes to mov-ing  me
-1      -4  -5  -5   -4 -5  -5  -4-33
You know you guys are the champs
7   -6*  -5  -5   -5  -4    6
But when that last gui-tars
-5   6   -6*   7    6   6 
been packed a- way,
-4    -3    3 -4-33
You know that I still want to  play
-4   -4   -3 -3  3     3   -2*  3
So just make sure you’ve
-1  -4  -3    3    3
got it all set to go
3   3   3   3  2  2
Be-fore you come for my pi-an- o
3   3    3   -4  -3  -3 3  3  2-1
But the band’s on the bus
6    6   6    -6*  7  -6*
And they’re wait-ing to  go
6     6      6   -5  -3 -33
We got to drive  all night
-1  3  -3  -4   -5-4   6
and do the show in Chi-ca- go
2   3  3    -4  -3  3  -3 32-1
Or De-troit, I don-t  know
3  -3  -4   -4  -3   -4-33
We do so  man-y shows in a row
7  7  -6* -6* 6  6    -5 5  -4
And these towns all look the same
-1   -4   -4-33 3    -4  -3  -33
We just pass the time 
3   -3   -4  -5  -5  
in the ho-tel rooms
-4 -3  -3  3    3
And wan-der ‘round back-stage
2    3   3     3   -33   3
Till those lights come up
-1     2     3     3   3 
and we hear that crowd
-1  2   3    3    3

And we re-mem-ber why  we came
3   3  3   3  -4  -5-4 -4  6
Now we got coun-try and
3   3   3   6   -5   3 
west-ern on the bus
-4    3  3   3  -4
R and B, we got dis-co in eight tracks
2 -1  2  -4 -3  -3  3  2   -4    -4 
and cas-settes in ster-e-o
3    2    3    2  -3   3 3
And we got rur-al scenes
3   -3  3   6  -5   6 
and mag-a- zines
3    -4 -3 -4-33
And we got truck-ers on c- b
-1  -4 -3   -3   3   3  -4 3  
And we got Rich-ard Pry-or
2   -4 -4   -4  -3  -3  3 
on the vid-e-o
3  3   -4  2 2
We’ve got time to think
3     3    6   -5   6
of the ones we  love
-5  3  -4   -3 -4-33
While the miles roll a-way
-4    -3   -33  3   -2* 3
But the on-ly time that seems too short
3    2  3  3    3   2     3    3   3 
Is the time that we get to play
3   3  -4    -5  -5 -5  -4  6
Peo-ple you’ve got the pow-er
-4  -5    6    -4  -3  -3  3   
Ov-er what we do
3  2   3   3  -3
You can sit there and wait
-4  -5  6    -4   -3   -3
Or you can pull us through
3   3   2   3   3    -3
Come a- long, sing the song
-4  -5 -4-33   -4  -5   6
You know that you can’t go  wrong 
7    -6* -5   -5   -5  -5-4  6-5
’cause when that morn-ing
-5      6    -6*  7    6 
sun comes beat-ing down
6    -4    -3   3   3

You-re gon-na wake up in your town
-4     -3  3   3   3  3   -3   3
But we’ll be sched-uled to ap-pear
-1   -4   -3   -3   3   3   2  2
A thous-and miles a-way from here.
3   -4  -3   -3   2  3   2   2-1
