[INTRO:] G C (12x) [VERSE 1:]
  G                    D
A long time ago, in 1965 or so

        Am                        Em
I met a man with a face, it was a real disgrace

G                                  D
Pictures he took and put them in a little book

     Am                             D
So ambitious was he, he even took a picture of me
[VERSE 2:]
G                            D
Then one day, he opened up a studio (start recording now)

            Am                      Em
He tried to make it pay, making hit records, you know

       G                           D
And he asked me along, write him a little song

          Am                          D
I got the studio free, just sign this paper for me
[CHORUS:]
          C            D       G            Em       C
You got to__ take good care of business, my friend

Take good care of yourself

[VERSE 3:]
                  D
Later on, after I wrote that song

     Am                    Em
Even heard it played up on Radio One (Radio One)

G                        D
Manager said, "Money all gone away

    Am                                 D
You spent it, you see, up and down the country"
[CHORUS:]

[VERSE 4:]
                                       D
Well, I started to say, "I mean, we've got to play

          Am                   Em
What else can we do? We're not clever like you"

G                            D
Then, said he, "You know how I am fair

        Am                       D
You can sign to the company for another ten year"
[CHORUS:]
              C               D       G         Em     C
You've got to take, take good care of business, boys
