Chords for Howard Livingston & The Mile Marker 24 Band - "Local On The Eights"

_ [Em] _ _ _ Okay, I got a question.
How many people wear suits to work? _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Do bathing suits count? _ _ _ _ _
And how [G] many of those people don't want to wear those suits anymore?
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D#] We got a song for you.

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
is how I did it.
[D] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] I used to wear a [G] three-piece suit [B] _
[D] _ and [G] winged shoes.
_ _ [D] _
I'd watch [G] _ CNN [D] and catch up on [G] all the news.
_ [D] _
I don't do [G] that anymore.
And my [D] life is so [G] complete.
_ _ [D] _ I traded [G] in those leather [D] shoes for these flip-flops on [G] my feet.
_ _ And watch [C] local media _ _ [D] [G] tell me what I need to know.
_ Am I going [C] fishing _ _ [D] or diving to go [G] to Mexico?
_ _ _ _ Local [C] on the case is [D] my kind [G] of TV.
_ _ _ It tells [C] me tonight _ _ [D] _ what tomorrow [G] will be. _ _ _ _ _
[D] I have a friend [G] in Chicago, _ [D] _
another in [G] L.A. _ _
[D] _ They try [G] to talk to me, but [D] I don't understand [G] what they say. _ _
[D] I wish I was [G] up on current [Em] events [D] so I could [G] take a side. _ _
[D] But I don't [G] have time for that.
[D] I gotta get _ [G] tomorrow's time. _ _
And local [C] on the case _ _
[D] _ tells me what I [G] need to know. _

[D] or [G] diving to go to Mexico? _ _

_ _ There's a [D] snowstorm in New York [Em] City.
_ [Bm] I call my [F#] friends and say, are [G] you okay?
_ _ _ [D] They're surprised [G] that I know.
[D] I sit here on this before the [G] _ _ eights.
_ Local [C] on the case _ _ [D] tells me what I [G] need to know.
_ _ Am I going [C] fishing _ _ [D] or diving to go to [G] Mexico?
_ _ _ _ Or go [C] to some island _ _ [D] and swim a cooler [G] through the [D] shore?
_ [Em] I got local [C] on the case.
_ [D] _ Who could ask [G] for more?
