WORKIN’ AT THE CAR WASH BLUES As performed by Jim Croce Just listen to the track for rhythm and timing. You're gonna have to infer some of the passages like in the bridge. The G and D chords in the verse are actually played like a G-Gsus4 and D-Dsus4 rhythm style but throw your own styling in there. INTRO: || G / B7 / |Em / G / |C C/B A E F#| G / D / |

Well I had just ^Ggot out of the county prison doing ^Dninety days for non-support Trying to find me an executive position But no matter how smooth I

^Gtalked they wouldn't listen to the fact That I was genius the man said,

"^CWe got all that w^Ce ^Bca^Bbn us^Ae," now I g^A7ot them ^Gsteadily depres^B7sin', low do^Emwn mind messi^Gn'

^CWorking at t^C/Bhe car w^Aash ^Ebl^F#ues.^G Well, I sh^Gould be sittin' in an air-conditioned

^Doffice in a swivel chair talkin' some trash to the secretaries, Sayin', "Here, now mam-ma, come on over here."

^GInstead, I'm stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag And ^Cwalkin' home in soggy old s^Choes^B wit^Bbh th^Aem

^Gsteadily depres^B7sin', low do^Emwn mind messi^Gn' ^CWorkin' at ^C/Bthe car ^Awash^E b^F#lues^G.

You know a man of ^Cadd9my ability, He should be smokin' on a big cigar. ^G

But till I ge^Cadd9t myself straight I guess I'll just have to wait

A7 D7#9 (Hendrix Chord) in my rubber suit a-rubbin' these cars. Well, all I can do is a-shake my head You might not believe that it's true, For workin' at this indoor Niagara Falls is an undiscovered Howard Hughes. So baby, don't expect to see me With no double martini in any high-brow society news, 'Cause I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin', Workin' at the car wash blues. (Lead break over verse pattern) So, baby, don't expect to see me With no double martini in any high-brow society news, 'Cause I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin', Workin' at the car wash blues.
