You [D] get up every morning, from [C] your alarm clock's warning
Take the [G] 8:15 into the [D] city
There's a [D] whistle up above, and people [C] pushin', people shovin'
And the [G] girls who try to look [D] pretty

VERSE 2:
And if your [D] train's on time, you can [C] get to work by nine
And [G] start your slaving job to get your [D] pay
If you [D] ever get annoyed, look at [C] me I'm self-employed
I [G] love to work at nothing all [D] day

And I'll be [D] taking care of business, [C] every day

I've been [D] taking care of business, [C] it's all mine
[G] taking care of business, and [D] working overtime

VERSE 3:
If it were [D] easy as fishin', you could [C] be a musician
If you [G] could make sounds loud or [D] mellow
Get a [D] second-hand guitar, chances [C] are you'll go far
If you [G] get in with the right bunch of [D] fellows

VERSE 4:
People [D] see you having fun, just a [C] lying in the sun
[G] Tell them that you like it this [D] way
It's the [D] work that we avoid, and we're [C] all self-employed
We [G] love to work at nothing all [D] day
