Take It Away

Paul McCartney


Tom: D

A     E    A              D         A
 Take it away, won't you hear you play
          E         A     D
till the lights go down.
A     E    A              D        A
 Take it away, don't you wan't to stay
       E        D
till there's no else around.

Take it away,...

Gmaj7         A/B           B7
 Lonely driver   out on the road
Em7     G/A               D
 with a hundred miles to go.
Gmaj7         A/B              B7
 Sole survivor   carrying the load
Em7      G/A      D
 switches on the radio.

Take it away,...

Take it away,...

I the audience watching the show
with a paper in his hand (in his hand, in his hand)
some important impresario
has a message for the band.

Take it away,...

    F#m7                  Bm7
You never know who may be listening to you
    F#m7                  Bm7
You never know who may be listening to you.
             A               D
Take it away,  take it away.

After hours late in the bar
by a darker corner seat
faded flowers wait in the jar
till the evening is complete.
