      Well, I'm a runnin' down the road, tryin' to loosen my load,
                        D  C
  I've 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 ea - sy,

  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.

  Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
                  D        C
  and such a fine sight to see:
         G                   D
  it's a girl, my Lord, in a flat bed Ford
          C                      G
  slowin' down to take a look at me.
           Em   D             C     G
  Come on, ba - by, don't say may - be.
          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 though we will never be here again.
          Am               C               G
  So open up, I'm climbin' in, so take it easy.
