Taking Care Of Business
Bachman Turner Overdrive
intro at bottom
C Bb F
1. Well, you get up every morning
from the alarm clock's warning
take the 8:15 into the City.
There's a whistle up above and
people pushin', people shoving
and the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
you can get to work by 9:00
and start your slaving job to get your pay.
If you ever get annoyed
look at me I'm self employed
I love to work at nothing all day
chorus:
and I've been taking care of business---every day
taking care of business---every way
I've been taking care of busines---it's all mine
taking care of business---and working overtime,
work out!
lead as per introduction +
2. It's as easy as fishin', you can be musician
if you can make a sound loud and mellow
get a second hand guitar, chances are you'll go far,
if you get in with the right bunch of fellows.
People see you having fun, just a lying in the sun.
Tell them that you like it this way.
It's the work that we afford, and we're all self-employed,
we love to work at nothing all day.
