Roadie

C/G   (3 3 2 0 0 0)
Asus2 (x 0 2 2 0 0)
Esus4 (0 2 2 2 0 0)
Em*   (0 2 2 4 0 0)

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
