Here are the chords over the words to give you a starting point, I have the tabbed stuff

the bottom.

--Intro is same chords as verse--

(See tabbed part for a more accurate interpretation)

Now the seats are all empty

Let the roadies take the stage

Pack it up and tear it down

They're the first to come and the last to leave

Working for that minimum wage

They'll set it up in another town

Em Adim7 C A#dim7(4th Inversion)

Tonight the people were so fine, they waited there in line

And when they got up on their feet, they made the show

G Bm7*

And that was sweet, but I can hear the sound

Of slamming doors and folding chairs

And that's a sound they'll never know

Now, roll them cases out and lift them amps

Haul them trusses down and get 'em up them ramps

G Bm7*

'Cause when it comes to moving me

You know you guys are the champs

G Bm7*

But when that last guitar's been packed away

You know that I still want to play

So just make sure you've got it all set to go

Before you come for my piano

Solo is same as intro chords

But the band's on the bus

And they're waiting to go

We've got to drive all night and do a show in Chicago

Or Detroit, I don't know

We do so many shows in a row

And these towns all look the same

G Bm7*

We just pass the time in our hotel rooms

And wander 'round backstage

Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd

And we remember why we came

Solo is same as intro chords

Now we got country and western on the bus, R & B

We got disco on eight tracks and cassettes in stereo

G Bm7*

We've got rural scenes and magazines

We got truckers on CB

We got Richard Pryor on the video

G Bm7*

And we got time to think of the ones we love

While the miles roll away

But the only time that seems too short

Is the time that we get to play

People you've got the power over what we do

You can sit there and wait or you can pull us through

G Bm7*

Come along, sing the song

You know that you can't go wrong

'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down

You're going to wake up in your town

But we'll be scheduled to appear

A thousand miles away from here

---Segue to Stay---

2/4 |G|Em|C|D| over and over till the Em and hold.

People, stay just a little bit longer

We wanna play just a little bit longer

If the promoter don't mind and the union don't mind

We can take a little time and we'll leave this all behind

Singin' one more song

Oh, won't you stay just a little bit longer

Please, please, please, say you will, say you will

Oh, won't you stay just a little bit longer

Oh, please, please stay just a little bit more, ehehe

Now if the promoter don't mind and the roadies don't mind

We can take a little time and we'll leave it all behind

Singin' one more song

I have tabbed the song as accurately as I could (I know it's not completely correct but

to what's on the web this is better starting point)

I'm also aware that the Bar lines aren't completely right either (I tried and just got

counting)

Riff 1

Now the seats... Are all empty.

Let the roadies... stage.

Pack it up...

They're the first..... and the last...

working for that... wage.

They'll set it up...

Riff 2

Tonight the people... They waited...

|--------------------------------|---------0----2-----------0--0--| Then back to riff 1.

Then they got up...

You can just pick or strum the chords in the other parts without losing too much of the song.

I know this isn't 100% so please contact me if you find any problems or amendments.
