Take It Easy     by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey 
 
Set 3Chords to play in the key of G for an authentic sound and easy 
to sing to. 
 
             G 
 Well, I'm a runnin' down the road try'n' to loosen my load 
                   D     C 
 I got seven women on my mind; 
      G                   D 
 Four that wanna own me,  two that wanna stone me, 
   C                        G 
 One says she's a friend of mine. 
          Em            C  G 
 Take it easy, take it  easy, 
               Am                C                Em 
 Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy. 
         C                   G             C             G 
 Lighten up while you still can,  don't even try to understand. 
             Am                 C                 G 
 Just find a place to make your stand  and take it easy. 
 

            G 
 Now, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winston, Arizona 
                  D        C 
 With such a fine sight to see; 
       G                   D 
 It's a girl my Lord, in a flat-bed Ford 
         C                      G 
 Slowin' down to have a look at me. 
          Em               C   G 
 Come on, baby,  don't say maybe. 
         Am                 C               Em 
 I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me. 
        C               G                 C              G 
 We may lose and we may win,  but we will never be here again. 
          Am               C               G 
 Oh, open up, I'm climbin' in to take it easy. 
 
 
           G 
 Well, I'm runnin' down the road try'n' to loosen my load, 
                        D     C 
 Got a world of trouble on my mind. 
          G                   D 
 I'm lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover; 
         C                      G 
 She's just a little hard to find. 
          Em            C  G 
 Take it easy, take it  easy, 
               Am                C                Em 
 Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy. 
         C  G            C   G 
 Come on baby, don't say maybe. 
         Am                 C                G 
 I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me.
