[Verse 1]

G         C
Road man
               G         C
Driving in the road van
     G               C                 G
He's got to beat the clock to the next town
G         C
Road man
               G         C
Driving in the road van
  G                C              G
I set up the sound system for the band

[Chorus]

C
Road man slow it down
    G                  Em
And you will get there safe and sound
        Am    D                   G    C
He says no no no the show must go on

[Verse 2]

G         C
Road man
               G         C
Driving like a mad man
G                   C              G
Breaking land speed records in the van
G         C
Road man
              G          C
He don't want police man
G                  C             G
Leaving a trail of ripped up citations

[Chorus]

C
Road man slow it down
    G                  Em
And you will get there safe and sound
        Am    D                   G    C
He says no no no the show must go on

[Bridge]

Em
Road man heavy load
     C
He's got to stop and smell the rose
Em
Road man he says no go
     C                  D
I've got to be the king of the road

[Verse 3]

G         C
Road man
               G          C
Didn't see the train man
  G              C                G      C
Until it was too late to slow the van
          G         C
Meanwhile the band
                   G         C
Is waiting for the road man
G                C              G
Crushed by his beloved sound system

[Chorus]

C
Road man slow it down
    G                  Em
And you will get there safe and sound
        G     C
He says no no no
G     C
No no no
Am    D
No no
                 G    C
The show must go on
                 G    C
The show must go on
                 G    C
The show must go on
                 G    C
The show must go on
                 G
The show must go on
