[Intro]

C5 Bb5 F5 C5 Bb5 F5 C5

[Verse 1]
C5 Bb5
You get up every morning from your alarm clock’s warning
F5 C5
Take the 8:15 into the city
Bb5
There’s a whistle up above and people pushin’, people shovin’
F5 C5
And the girls who try to look pretty
Bb5
And if your train’s on time you can get to work by nine
F5 C5
And start your slaving job to get your pay
Bb5
And if you ever get annoyed look at me I’m self-employed
F5 C5
I love to work at nothing all day
C5
And I’ll be

[Chorus]
C5 Bb5
Taking care of business every day
F5 C5
Taking care of business every way
Bb5
I’ve been taking care of business, it’s all mine
F5 C5
Taking care of business and working overtime, work out

[Interlude]
C5 Bb5 F5 C5 Bb5 F5 C5

[Verse 2]
C5 Bb5
If it were easy as fishin’ you could be a musician
F5 C5
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Bb5
Get a second-hand guitar, chances are you’ll go far
F5 C5
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
Bb5
People see you having fun just a-lying in the sun
F5 C5
Tell them that you like it this way
Bb5
It’s the work that we avoid and we’re all self-employed
F5 C5
We love to work at nothing all day
C5
And we’ll be

[Chorus]
C5 Bb5
Taking care of business every day
F5 C5
Taking care of business every way
Bb5
I’ve been taking care of business, it’s all mine
F5 C5
Taking care of business and working overtime
