           Em *        E4    Em          Em * E4 Em E4 Em
Well it's 3pm time to lug the gear, got to get it on the stage,

              D                                  E      ( E4  E )
my muscles flex, my ***ing sweat will save the day.

        Em *                   E4      Em             Em * E4 Em E4 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 *                  E4    Em
Becourse the rock is rock, and the road is road,

       Em *                  Em * E4  Em
got'a take the mic, he got take control,

     D                                  E               ( E4  E )
got'a get that shit up on that ***ing stage.

         Em *                  E4    Em
Cuz the roadie knows what the roadie knows

          Em *                 Em *   E4   Em
And the roadie knows that he wears black clothes

        D                                E              ( E4  E )
And he hides off in the shadows of the stage

Chorus:
             C/G    A9                    E
Because the roadie looks a 1000 miles with his eyes

             C/G           A9                           E
And when the crowd roars: Brings a teardrop to the roadies eyes
Tears of pride

            C/G
Because he brought you the show

     A9
But you will never know

 C/G
He's changing the strings
      A9
While hiding in the wings
   C/g            A9 (let ring) E (powerchord if you want)
No matter how hard, the show must go on

Vers:
Then a beautiful girl come to me she
 says, "hey can i suckka 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 K.G's chode

Prechorus:
      C/G                                A9
 I'm standing at the threshold of your dreams
      C/G                                A9
 Without me there'd be no sound from those amps
     C/G                                A9
 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:
    A9 (let ring)                 E
 A lonesome warrior searching for a soul (no!)
           C/G
 I am the roadie:
 A9 (let ring) E
 I make the rock go!
C/G A9   C/G A9    C/G A9    E
 Roadie,    Roadie,      ROAAADDDIEEEeee
