Car Wash Blues

G
Well, I just got out from the county
 prison,
             D7
doin' ninety days for non-support.

Tried to find me an executive 
position,
       G
But no matter how smooth I talked

they wouldn't listen to the fact 
that I was a genius,
                 C                 
The man say, 'We got all that we 
  A7
can use...'

Refrão:

Now I got them steadily 
    Em       G7
depressin', low down mind messin',
C              D7       G
workin' at the car wash blues.

G                                 
Well, I should be sittin' in an 
              D7
air conditioned office

in a swivel chair.

Talkin' some trash to the 
secretaries,
         G
Sayin', 'Here, now mama, come on 
over here.'

Instead, I'm stuck here rubbin' 
these fenders with a rag
            C                
and walkin' home in soggy old 
 A7
shoes...

Refrão:
A7             G        B7      
Now I got them steadily 
    Em       G7
depressin', low down mind messin'
C              D7       G
workin' at the car wash blues.

G          C
You know a man of my ability,
             G
he should be smokin' on a big cigar.
    C
But till I get myself straight I 
guess I'll just have to wait
      A7                       
in my rubber suit rubbin' these 
 D7
cars.

      G
Well, all I can do is a shake my 
head,
    D7
you might not believe that it's 
true.

For workin' at this end of Niagara 
Falls
        G
is an undiscovered Howard Hughes.

So baby, don't expect to see me,
with no double martini in any 
C                 A7
high-brow society news.

Cause I got them steadily 
   B7          Em       G7
depressin', low down mind messin',
C              D7       G
workin' at the car wash blues.
