[Verse 1]

G*
Now the seats are all empty
            C*             Em*
Let the roadies take the stage
        C*                  G D
Pack it up and tear it down
G                                
They're the first to come and last 
G
to leave
 C                        Em
Working for that minimum wage
 C                                
They'll set it up in another town
G         C G



[Verse 2]

Em*                         D7*
Tonight the people were so fine
C*                   A7*
They waited there in line
G                               C
And when they got up on their 
                 G    G
feet they made the show
G
And that was sweet,
G
But I can hear the sound
       C                        Em
Of slamming doors and folding chairs
               C                
And that's a sound they'll never 
  G    D
know


[Verse 3]

G                            C
Now roll them cases out and lift 
them amps
G                          C
Haul them trusses down and get'em up
 them ramps
G                         Em
'Cause when it comes to moving me
C                          D
You know you guys are the champs
                G               
But when that last guitar's been 
  C
packed away
Em                            C
You know that I still want to play
C*
So just make sure you got it all set
 to go
D*
Before you come for my piano

[Verse 4]

Em*                   D7*
But the band's on the bus
C*                     A7*
And they're ready to go
              G                  C
We've gotta drive all night and do
            G      G
 a show in Chicago
G
Or Detroit, I don't know
          C              Em
We do so many shows in a row
          C                  G    D
And these towns all look the same
        G
We just pass the time in our hotel 
rooms
       C                Em
And wander 'round backstage
C
Till those lights come up and we 
hear that crowd
        D*
And we remember why we came

[Verse 5]

G                                 
Now we got country and western on 
G
the bus
Em          C                    
R&B, we got disco in eight tracks
                   G
 and cassettes in stereo
           G
We've got rural scenes and magazines
               C              Em
And We've got truckers on the cb
          C                     G 
We've got Richard Pryor on the 
    D
video
        G
We got time to think of the ones we 
love
           C          Em
While the miles roll away
         C
But the only time that seems too 
short
         D
Is the time that we get to play


[Verse 6]

         G                      
People you've got the power over 
  C
what we do
         G
You can sit there and wait
            C
Or you can pull us through
       G              G
Come along, sing the song
      C                 D
You know you can't go wrong
                   G
'Cause when that morning sun comes 
beating down
             C               Em
You're gonna wake up in your town
     C*
But we'll be scheduled to appear
   D*
A thousand miles away from here


[Chorus]

D            G Em C        D  
(... People,) stay just a 
        G   Em  C  D
little bit longer.
         G Em C      D      
We wanna play just a little bit 
     G  Em  C  D
longer.
     G             Em   C   D
The promoter don't mind.
         G          Em   C   D
And the union don't mind
      G             Em        
if we take a little time and we 
   C             D
leave it all behind
     Em
sing one more song.


[Chorus 2]
              G Em C      D     
Oh, won't you stay just a little
      G   Em   C   D
 bit longer.
 G      Em      C      D    
Please, please, please say, you 
     Em
will. Say you will.

little bit more. Hehehe,

now the promoter don't mind.
         G             Em   C   D
And the roadies don't mind,
      G             Em        
if we take a little time and we 
  C              D
leave it all behind
     Em
sing one more song.
