    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

    Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
             C                 G
    Lighten up while you still can
               C             G
    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

           G                 D
    It's a girl my lord in a flat-bed Ford
            C                       G

            Am                 C              Em

           C               G                  C             G
