And this is another new one.
It's kind of got that funky street feel.
People, you know, sometimes get a case of mistaken identity
about what they should be doing.
And this is a story about a guy that thinks
he should be ruling the universe somewhere,
but he's really working at a car wash.
The title's really a long one.
It's called, I Got Damn Steadily Depressing,
Low Down Mind Messing,
Working at the Car Wash Blues.
[G] Well [B]
[Em] [G]
[D] [C] [D] [G] I had just got out
from the county [Bm] prison
doing 90 days for non-support
Tried [D]
to [C#] find me an [F#] executive [Bm] position
but no matter how smooth I [G] talk
he wouldn't listen to the fact
that I was a genius
The man [C] says we got all that [A] we can [A] use
Now I [F#] got [G] damn steadily [B] [G] depressing
low down mind messing
working at the car [C] wash [D] blues
[G] Well I should be sitting in a higher condition
[D] office in a swivel chair
[Bm] [F#] talking some [C#] trash to [F#] the secretary
[G] saying hey now mama come on over [D] here
[G] But instead I'm stuck here
rubbing these founders with a [C] rag
walking home [B] in soggy old [Am] shoes
With [G] damn [F#m] steadily [G] depressing
low down mind messing
working at the car wash blues
You [C] know a man of my ability
should be smoking on a [G] big cigar
But [C] did I get myself straight
I guess I'll just have to [G#] wait
in [A] my rubber suit [D] rubbing these [Am] cars
[G]
All I can do is to shake my head
[D] and you might not [F#m] believe that it's [D] true
[Am] [Fm]
[D] Working [Am] at this [Bm] end on Niagara [F#] Falls
[Bm] is an [D] undiscovered [G] Howard Hughes
[Am] So [F#] baby [G] don't expect to see me
with this double martini
and [C] in my high brow [B] society news
[A] Cause I got [F#] damn [G] [F#m] steadily [G] depressing
low down mind messing
working [D] at the car [G] wash blues
Yeah I got damn [B] steadily depressing
[Em] low [G] down mind messing
working [D] at the car [G] wash [C] blues
