INTRO: [A] [Bm7] [E7sus4] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
Well I'm a [A] runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load,
I've got seven women [E] on my [D] mind
[A] Four that wanna own me, [E] two that wanna stone me,
[D] One says she's a friend of mine [A]

CHORUS 1:
Take it [F#m] easy; take it [D] ea-[A]-sy
Don't let the [Bm] sound of your own [D] wheels drive you [F#m] crazy
Lighten [D] up while you still [A] can, don't even [D] try to under-[A]-stand
Just find a [Bm] place to make your [D] stand, and take it [A] easy

VERSE 2:
Well, I'm a [A] standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine [E] sight to [D] see
It's a [A] girl my lord in a [E] flat-bed Ford
Slowin' [D] down to take a look at [A] me

CHORUS 2:
Come on, [F#m] baby, don't say [D] may-[A]-be
I gotta [Bm] know if your sweet [D] love, is gonna save [F#m] me
We may [D] lose and we may [A] win, though we may [D] never be here [A] again
So open [Bm] up I'm climbin' [D] in, so take it [A] easy

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE + 1st half of CHORUS]

VERSE 3:
Well, I'm a [A] runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble [E] on my [D] mind
[A] Lookin' for a lover who [E] won't blow my cover,
She's [D] so hard to [A] find

CHORUS 3:
Take it [F#m] easy; take it [D] ea-[A]-sy
Don't let the [Bm] sound of your own [D] wheels make you [F#m] crazy
Come on [D] ba-[A]-by, don't say [D] may-[A]-be
I gotta [Bm] know of your sweet [D] love, is gonna [A open] save me
