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]
Well I had just
got out of the county prison doing
ninety days for non-support
Trying to find me an executive position
But no matter how smooth I
talked they wouldn't listen to the fact
That I was genius the man said,
"We go
t all that we can
u
se
," n
ow I got them
steadily depres
sin', low do
wn mind messi
n'
Working at t
he car w
ash
bl
ues.
Well, I sh
ould be sittin' in an air-conditioned
office in a swivel chair talkin' some trash to the secretaries,
Sayin', "Here, now mam-ma, come on over here."
Instead, I'm stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag
And
walkin' home in soggy old s
hoes
wit
h th
em
steadily depres
sin', low do
wn mind messi
n'
Workin' at
the car
wash
b
lues
.
You know a man of
my ability,
He should be smokin' on a big cigar.
But till I ge
t myself straight
I guess I'll just have to wait
in my rubb
er 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.
