Jimmy Buffett – Its My Job (Guitar)

Gm                   F                 
In the middle of late last night

       Abmaj7
I was sittin' on a curb

Bb                    F            
I didn't know what about

          Eb
But I was feelin' quite disturbed

Gm                     F                     
A street sweeper came whistlin' by

         Abmaj7
He was bouncin' every step

C7                Dm           G7         
It seemed strange how good he felt

     Gm7
So I asked him while he swept

      C7                F  
     He said, "It's my job 

     C    Bb                Gm7
     To be cleaning up this mess

                F       Bb       C
     And that's enough reason to go for me

             F   
     It's my job 

     C       Bb            Gm7
     To be better than the rest

          F            Bb   C7  F
     And that makes the day for me."

Gm                  F                  
I got an uncle who owns a bank

        Abmaj7
He's a self-made millionaire

Bb                 F               
He never had anyone to love

       Bb
Never had no one to care

Gm7                    F               
He always seemed kinda sad to me

      Abmaj7             C7
And I asked him why that was

            Dm          G7          
And he told me it's because 

        Gm7
In my contract there's this clause

        C7                F   
     That says, "It's my job

      C      Bb            Gm7
     To be worried half to death

           F              Bb      C
     And that's the thing people respect in me

              F   
     It's my job 

      C   Bb                Gm7
     But without it I'd be less

           F      Bb    C7   F
     Than what I expect from me."

 Gm                      F                   
Now I've been lazy most all my life

         Abmaj7
Writin' songs and sleepin' late

Bb               F                   
And any manual labor I've done 

     Eb
Was purely by mistake

 Gm7                     F                    
If street sweepers can smile 

                 Abmaj7          C7
Then I've got no right to feel upset

              Dm          G7
But sometimes I still forget

  Gm7
'Til the lights go on and the stage is set

                   F       Bb             C
And the song hits home and you feel that sweat

              F  
     It's my job

     C      Bb                 Gm7
     To be different than the rest

               F       Bb        C7
     And that's enough reason to go for me

             F   
     It's my job 

     C      Bb              Gm7
     To be better than the best

           F            Bb    C7  F
     And that's a rough break for me

     D      G  D      
     It's my job 

          C               Am7
     To be cleaning up this mess

                G       C         D
     And that's enough reason to go for me

              G   
     It's my job 

      D      C             Am7
     To be better than the rest

               G        C   D7  G
     And that makes the day for me
