CHORUS 1:
Take it
[C#m] easy; take it
[A] ea-
[E]-sy
Don't let the

[A] wheels drive you
[C#m] crazy
Lighten
[A] up while you still

[A] try to under-
[E]-stand
Just find a
[F#m] place to make your
[A] stand, and take it
[E] easy

Well, I'm a
[E] standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine

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

[B] won't blow my cover,
She's
[A] so hard to
[E] find
