Car Wash Blues:Jim Croce.
#1.
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 A7
The man say, 'We got all that we can use...'
CHORUS:
A7 G B7 Em G7
Now I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin',
C D7 G
workin' at the car wash blues.
#2.
G D7
Well, I should be sittin' in an 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 A7
and walkin' home in soggy old shoes...
CHORUS:
A7 G B7 Em G7
Now I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin'
C D7 G
workin' at the car wash blues.
#3.
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 D7
in my rubber suit rubbin' these cars.
#4.
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,
C A7
with no double martini in any high-brow society news.
CHORUS:(x2)
A7 G B7 Em G7
Cause I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin',
C D7 G
workin' at the car wash blues.
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
