         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
             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 (let ring) E (powerchord if you want)
No matter how hard, the show must go on
      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
           C/G
 I am the roadie:
    Asus2 (let ring)                 E
 A lonesome warrior searching for a soul (no!)
           C/G
 I am the roadie:
 Asus2 (let ring) E
 I make the rock go!
