Car Wash Blues Chords & Lyrics - Jim Croce

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

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

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

[CHORUS]
[A7]Now I got them [G]steadily [B7]depressin', [Em]low down [G7]mind messin',
[C]workin' at the [D7]car wash [G]blues.
#2.
[G]Well, I should be sittin' in an air conditioned [D7]office

in a swivel chair.

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

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

[CHORUS]
[A7]Now I got them [G]steadily [B7]depressin', [Em]low down [G7]mind messin'
[C]workin' at the [D7]car wash [G]blues.
#3.
[G]You know a [C]man of my ability,
he should be [G]smokin' on a big cigar.
But [C]till I get myself straight I guess I'll just have to wait
in my [A7]rubber suit rubbin' these [D7]cars.
#4.
Well, [G]all I can do is a shake my head,
you [D7]might not believe that it's true.

For workin' at this end of Niagara Falls
is an un[G]discovered Howard Hughes.

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

[CHORUSX2]
[A7]Cause I got them [G]steadily [B7]depressin', [Em]low down [G7]mind messin',
[C]workin' at the [D7]car wash [G]blues.
