VERSE 1:
You [C#] get up every morning, from [B] your alarm clock's warning
Take the [F#] 8:15 into the [C#] city
There's a [C#] whistle up above, and people [B] pushin', people shovin'
And the [F#] girls who try to look [C#] pretty

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

CHORUS:
And I'll be [C#] taking care of business, [B] every day
[F#] taking care of business, [C#] every way
I've been [C#] taking care of business, [B] it's all mine
[F#] taking care of business, and [C#] working overtime

INSTRUMENTAL:

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

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