Verse 1
Em Em 
 
Well it's three pm time to lug the gear,
got to it on the stage
D D 
 
My muscles flex, my fucking sweat
E E 
 
will save the day
Em Em 
 
When I check the mic,
I fucka check the mic,
I fucka checka checka 1 2 3
D D 
 
I plug it in,
E E 
 
make it sound as good as it can be
Em Em 
 
Cause the rockers rock,
but the roadies roll
Gotta take the mic because I take control
D D 
 
E E 
 
Gotta get that shit up on that fuckin' stage
Em Em 
 
Because the roadie knows
what the roadie knows
And the roadie knows
that he wears black clothes
D D 
 
E E 
 
And he hides off in the shadows off the stage

Chorus 1
C C 
 
Because the roadie
Am Am 
 
E E 
 
Looks a thousand miles with his eyes
C C 
 
And when the crowd roars
Am Am 
 
E E 
 
Brings a tear drop to the roadie's eyes
Tears of pride
C C 
 
Because he brought you the show
Am Am 
 
But you will never know
C C 
 
He's changing the strings
Am Am 
 
While hiding in the wings
C C 
 
No matter how hard,
Am Am 
 
Em Em 
 
Em Em 
 
the show must go on

Verse 2
Em Em 
 
Then a beautiful girl come to me
She say, "Hey can I sucka your dick?"
D D 
 
E E 
 
I say, "Yays, I am in love"
Em Em 
 
Then she quickly say, "I sucked your dick
Now give me that backstage pass
D D 
 
I do not want you roadie,
E E 
 
I want KG's chode"

Chorus 2
C C 
 
Am Am 
 
I'm standing at the threshold of your dreams
C C 
 
Without me there'd be no sound
Am Am 
 
from those amps
C C 
 
Without me there'd be no lights
Am Am 
 
on the stage
E E 
 
But you don't applaud for me
C C 
 
No, I am the roadie
Am Am 
 
E E 
 
Lonesome warrior searching for his soul
C C 
 
No, I am the roadie
Am Am 
 
E E 
 
E E 
 
I make the rock go
