"Working at the Car Wash Blues" by Jim Croce

         G
Well I'd just got out from the county prison doin'

D7
ninety days for non support


Tried to find myself an executive position


but no matter how smooth I talked

G
They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was a genius

              C                   A7
They said "we got all that we can use" 

               G          B7        Em       G7
Now I got them steadily depressing, low-down mind-messin' 

C              D7       G
Working at the car wash blues.


Well, I should be sitting in an air conditioned
office with a swivel chair
Talkin' some trash to the secretary
Sayin', "Here now mama, come on over here"
Instead I'm stuck here rubbing these fenders with a rag
And walking home in soggy old shoes
With them steadily depressin' low-down mind-messin'
Workin' at the carwash blues

           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 just have to wait

      A7                           D7
In my rubber suit, a-rubbin' these cars


Well all I can do is to shake my head
You might not believe that its true
For workin' at this end of Niagara Falls
is an undiscovered Howard Hughes,
So baby, don't 'spect to see me with no double martini 
In no highbrow society news, 'cause I got them...
Steadily depressin' low-down mind-messin'
Workin' at the carwash blues
