Jim Croce – What Do People Do (Guitar)

         Bb             Eb
Tell me, what do people do

                 Bb
When there ain't nothin' to do?

Bb                        Eb
When there's nobody else around to do

C               F
Nothin' with or to

         Bb                  Eb
Have you ever been in that position

     Bb               Eb
In a small town motel room

          Bb                  Eb
Where the diners all close at nine

        Bb                    Eb
And the trucks keep a rollin' by

        Bb                Eb
And you just can't get to sleep

                    C               F
Even though there's nothin' on your mind?

        Bb             Eb
Tell me what do people say

                 Bb
When there ain't nothin' to say?

             Bb           Eb
When there's nobody else around

            C                F
To help you pass the time of day

         Bb                 Eb
Have you ever stared at the ceiling

         Bb                      Eb
Till you thought you'd lose your mind

             Bb                  Eb
Looked for a wall that you could climb

           Bb                Eb
Still, you just can't get to sleep

                  C               F
Even tho' there's nothin' on your mind?

         Eb                   Bb
Have you ever been stuck in a small town motel

F                                  Bb
Lookin' all around but there ain't nothin' to see

     Eb                         Bb
In a never endin' mind bendin', troublin' position

       C                    F
Sayin' why did it happen to me?

G        C              F
Tell me, what do people do

                 C
When there ain't nothin' to do?

             C            F
When there's nobody else around to do

D               G
Nothin' with or to

            C               F
Hope you're never in that position

     C                F
In a small town motel room

          C                   F
Where the diners all close at nine

        C                     F
And the trucks keep a rollin' by

           C                 F
Still, you just can't get to sleep

                    D               G
Even though there's nothin' on your mind?
