The Load Out and Stay chords
Jackson Browne

G Bm C Em  C D G C/G  2x

        G             Bm 
Now the seats are all empty,
        C                Em
Let the roadies take the stage.
        C              G  C/G
Pack it up and tear it down.
                     
They re the first to come,
    Em
And last to leave.
        C                Em
Working for that minimum wage.
        C             G          C/G
They ll set it up in another town.
            Em             B7
Tonight the people were so fine.
     C               A7
They waited there in line,
              G               Em
And when they got up on their feet
              C   G
They made the show.
                             Bm
And that was sweet but I can hear the sound,
            C                 Em
Of slamming doors and folding chairs.
             C             D     G   C/G
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
 Cause when it comes to movin me,
    C                      D
You know, you guys are the champs.
              G                  C
But when that last guitar s been packed away,
G             C               Em
You know that I still want to play.
             C                          Em
So just make sure you got it all set to go,
           D                G
Before you come, for my piano.

G Bm C Em  C D G C/G  2x

        Em            B7
But the band s on the bus,
            C          A7
And they re waiting to go.
             G         Em
We ve got to drive all night,
         D       C    G
And do a show in Chicago.
     G              Bm
Or Detroit, I don t know,
      C                  Em
We do so many shows in a row.
          C         D        G
And these towns all look the same.
                             C
We just pass the time in the hotel rooms,
    G       C         Em
And wander  round backstage.
           C
Till those lights come up,
       Em
And we hear that crowd,
         G	D
And we remember why we came.

G Bm C Em  C D G C/G  2x
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jackson_browne/the_load_out_crd_ver_2.html ]
            G                 C               Em
Now, we got Country & Western on the bus, R & B.
       C          
We got Disco and 8-tracks,
                     G
And cassettes in stereo.
                         C
We ve got rural scenes & magazines,
              G            Em
And we ve got truckers on CB.
                   C            D  
And we got Richard Pryor on the video.
       G                    C
We got time to think of the ones we love,
          G           Em
While the miles roll away.
        C              Em
But the only time that seems too short,
       G                   D
Is the time that we get to play.

       G   
People you ve got the power,
     C
Over what we do,
        G
You can sit there and wait,
           C
Or you can pull us through.
      G              C
Come along, sing the song,
G             Em           C
You know that you can t go wrong.
                 G                 C
 Cause when that morning sun comes beatin down,
                G               Em
You re going to wake up in your town.

    C              	Em
But we ll be scheduled to appear,
  D        C               G
A thousand miles away from here.

       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 ay just a little bit longer.
            G           Em C D
Now, the promoter don t mind.
        G           Em C D
And the union don t mind.
      G             Em
If we take a little time,
       C              D
And we leave it all behind,
    Em
And sing (one more song...)
                 G Em C
Oh oh, won t you stay ay.
       D          G      Em  C D

And the roadies don t mind.
      G             Em
If we take a little time,
