Intro: G G C D G G C D G G

            G
Well I'm a runnin' down the road
Try'n 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

Chorus:
        Em            C  G
Take it easy, take it easy
               Am
Don't let the sound of your own
  C               Em
Wheels drive you crazy
        C                   G
Lighten up while you still can
             C           G
Don't even try to understand
              Am                 C
Just find a place to make your stand,
            G      G
And take it easy

G             G
Well, I'm a standing 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 flatbed Ford
         C                      G
Slowin' down to take a look at me

Chorus:
          Em  D           C  G
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
          Am                C             Em
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
        C                G
We may lose, and we may win
                C              G
Though we will never be here again
        Am               C
So open up, I'm climbin' in
           G  G
So take it easy

G  G  D  C
G  D  C  G
Em D  C  G
Am C  Em D

             G
Well, I'm a runnin' down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
                       D      Am
Got a world of trouble on my mind
 G                       D
Lookin' for a lover who won't
                      C          G
Blow my cover, she's so hard to find


Chorus:
        Em            C  G
Take it easy, take it easy
               Am
Don't let the sound of your own
  C               Em
Wheels make you crazy
         C  G            C  G
Come on baby, don't say maybe
          Am
I gotta know if your sweet
 C             G
Love is gonna save me
C               G
O-o-oh, o-o-oh, o-o-oh, o-o-oh,
C               G
O-o-oh, o-o-oh, o-o-oh, o-o-oh,
