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
