DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT- The Talking Heads
C A
I see the clouds that move across the sky
C A
I see the wind that moves the clouds away
G F/G Am
It moves the clouds over by the building
G F/G Am
I pick the building that I want to live in
C A
I smell the pine tress and the beeches in the woods
C A
I see the pine cones that fall by the highway
G F/G Am
That's the highway that goes to the building
G F/G Am
I pick the building that I want to live in
CHORUS:
C Dm7 G/A
It's over there, it's over there
D G D
My building has every convenience
D G D
It's gonna make life easy for me
D G D
It's gonna be easy to get things done
D G D
I will relax along with my loved ones
E Dmaj7 Bm7
Loved ones, loved ones, visit the building
E Dmaj7 Bm7
Take the highway, park and come up and see me
E Dmaj7 Bm7
I'll be working, working, but if you come visit
E Dmaj7 Bm7
I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important
Dm7 G/A D Dm7 G/A D
Don't ya worry 'bout me, I wouldn't worry about me
Dm7 G/A D Dm7 G/A D
Don't ya worry 'bout me, I wouldn't worry about me
I see the states across this big nation
I see the laws made in Washington, D.C.
I think of the ones I consider my favorites
I think of the people that are working for me
Some civil servants are just like my loved ones
They work so hard and they try to be strong
I'm a lucky guy to live in my building
They all need buildings to help them along
CHORUS
Dm7: x x 0 2 1 1 Dmaj7: x x 0 2 2 2 G/A: 3 0 0 0 0 3
Bm7: 2 2 4 2 3 2
(from Talking Heads 77, 1977)
