Workin' At The Car Wash Blues Tab par Jim Croce

(Verse)
             G 
Well, I had just got out from the county prison 
      D7 
Doin' ninety days for non-support 
D7 
Tried to find me an executive position  
                            G 
But no matter how smooth I talked  
G
They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was a genius  
                 C7                  A 
The man say, "We got all that we can use."  

(Chorus)
                 G        B7           Em     G 
Now I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin'  
C7             D7       G 
Workin' at the car wash blues  

(Verse)
      G 
Well, I should be sittin' in an air conditioned office
            D7
In a swivel chair  
D7
Talkin' some trash to the secretaries
                                        G
Sayin', "Here, now mam-ma, come on over here."  
G
Instead, I'm stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag
    C7                        A
And walkin' home in soggy old shoes

(Chorus)
            G        B7           Em     G 
With them steadily depressin', low down mind messin'
C7             D7       G 
workin' at the car wash blues  

(Bridge)
           C                               C7              G 
You know a man of my ability he should be smokin' on a big cigar  
           C                                 C7 
But till I get myself straight I guess I'll just have to wait  
       A                          D7 
In my rubber suit a-rubbin' these cars  

(Verse)
      G 
Well, all I can do is a shake my head
     D7 
You might not believe that it's true  
D7
For workin' at this end of Niagara Falls
                           G 
Is an undiscovered Howard Hughes  
G
So baby, don't expect to see me
                               C7                A
With no double martini in any high-brow society news

(Chorus/Outro)
                    G        B7           Em     G 
'Cause I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin'
C7             D7       G 
workin' at the car wash blues 
                   G        B7           Em     G  
Yeah, I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin' 
C7             D7       G 
workin' at the car wash blues
