[verse: 1]
           G                         
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

[chorus:]
         Em              C   G
       (ea-—sy)        (ea---sy)  
Take it ea--sy, take it ea---sy
              Am                C                 Em
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
                                                 (ea-—sy)
Just find a place to make your stand, and take it ea--sy

{guitar riff} G G

[verse: 2] {background vocal harmony whole verse} 
            G
Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
            D        C
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

{chorus:]
          Em  D              C    G
        (ba-—by)           (may---be)  
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
                           (though we may never be here again)
We may lose and we may win, though we may never be here again
        Am              C                G
                                      (ea-—sy)
So open up I'm climbin' in, so take it ea--sy
