VERSE 1:
You
[C] get up every morning, from
[Bb] your alarm clock's warning
Take the
[F] 8:15 into the

There's a

[Bb] 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
[Bb] get to work by nine
And
[F] start your slaving job to get your
[C] pay
If you
[C] ever get annoyed, look at
[Bb] 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,
[Bb] every day
[F] taking care of business,
[C] every way
I've been
[C] taking care of business,
[Bb] 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
[Bb] be a musician
If you
[F] could make sounds loud or
[C] mellow
Get a
[C] second-hand guitar, chances
[Bb] 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
[Bb] 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
[Bb] all self-employed
We
[F] love to work at nothing all
[C] day
