Because the roadie looks a 1000 miles with his eyes

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

      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
