[Verse 1]
C                                                            Dm7
 In this beautiful world there are all kinds of things I can be
  G                                         C
A banker a trucker a soldier it's all up to me
                                             F
A salesman a hobo a preacher who follows the call
    G                                             C   F  C
But they're sweet jobs I don't want no part of at all

[Chorus]
G           C                                     F
And there's divorce lawyers funeral directors and jailers
  G                                                 C        G
I don't care to profit from life tragedies or loves failures
    C
I'd rather dig ditches push railroad switches
                             F
Or be an old broken down old sailor
       G                                    C       G
Than a divorce lawyer a funeral director or jailer

[Verse 2]
  C                                                  Dm7
I stood by and watched a poor widow kick in her last dime
   G7                                        C    G
On what she was told was a deluxe funeral so fine
    C                                                  F
And jailers are prisoners and just let 'em out now and then
      G                                               C   F  C
And a divorce lawyer can't lose and his clients can't win

[Chorus]
      G              C                                     F
And I don't care for divorce lawyers funeral directors and jailers
  G                                                 C        G
I don't care to profit from life tragedies or loves failures
    C
I'd rather dig ditches push railroad switches
                             F
Or be an old broken down old sailor
       G                                    C
Than a divorce lawyer a funeral director or jailer
  G                                    C
A divorce lawyer a funeral director or jailer
