TAKIN'CARE OF BUSINESS As recorded by Status Quo (From the 2003 Album RIFFS) [Intro] C5 Bb5 F5 C5 Bb5 F5 C5 Bb5 F5 C5 Bb5 F5 C5 [Verse 1]
C5                                 Bb5
You get up every morning from your alarm clock's warning

         F5            C5
Take the 8:15 into the city

                                      Bb5
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'

        F5                    C5
And the girls who try to look pretty

                                   Bb5
And if your train's on time you can get to work by nine

    F5                                 C5
And start your slaving job to get your pay

                                    Bb5
And if you ever get annoyed look at me I'm self-employed

  F5                          C5
I love to work at nothing all day

C5
And I'll be
[Chorus]
C5                      Bb5
Taking care of business every day

F5                      C5
Taking care of business every way

                                   Bb5
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine

F5                          C5
Taking care of business and working overtime, work out
[Interlude] C5 Bb5 F5 C5 Bb5 F5 C5 [Verse 2]
C5                                   Bb5
If it were easy as fishin' you could be a musician

       F5                        C5
If you could make sounds loud or mellow

                                  Bb5
Get a second-hand guitar, chances are you'll go far

       F5                             C5
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows

                                 Bb5
People see you having fun just a-lying in the sun

F5                              C5
Tell them that you like it this way

                                      Bb5
It's the work that we avoid and we're all self-employed

   F5                          C5
We love to work at nothing all day

C5
And we'll be
[Chorus]
C5                      Bb5
Taking care of business every day

F5                      C5
Taking care of business every way

                                   Bb5
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
