     They get up every morning from the alarm clock's warning take the
        F riff       C riff
       8:15 into the city.
                                           Bb riff
     There's a whistle up above and people pushing, people shoving and
           F riff                   C riff
       the girls who try    to look pretty.
                                        Bb riff
     And if your trains on time you can get to work by nine and
       F riff                              C riff
       start your slaving job to  get your pay.
                                      Bb riff
     If you ever get annoyed, look at me I'm self employed,
         F riff                        C riff
        I love to work at nothing all day.

     Chorus:

     C riff                              Bb riff
     And I'll be takin' care of business everyday.
     F riff               C riff
     Takin' care business everyway.
     C riff                           Bb riff
     I'll be takin' care of business. It's all mine!
     F riff                      C riff
     Takin' care of business and workin' overtime.   Work out.

    Lead break 2

     Verse 2 (just do the same chord riffs)

     It's as easy as fishing, you can be a musician,
          if you could make sounds sort of 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 lyin' in the sun,
         tell them that you like it this way.
     It's the work that we avoid. Hey, we're all self employeed.
         We love to work at nothing all day.

     [Chorus]
     [Lead break]
     Fill:
     C-C-F-F-G#-G#-Bb-Bb
     Take good care of my business when I'm away everyday.

     [Lead break]
     [Repeat verse 1]
     [Repeat chorus to fade out]
