[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
