Cappo on Third Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse]
C G Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street got in my nose C G As we carried our ladders down the street with the wrought-iron gate rows C G I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers in my lunch-break D G Bought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner and went straight back to work
[Verse]
C G Oh, Sam was up on top And I was on the bottom with the V C G We went for lemonade and Paris buns at the shop and broke for tea C G I collected from the lady and I cleaned the fanlight inside-out D G I was blowing saxophone on the weekend in that down joint
[Chorus]
G D Em What's my line? D C I'm happy cleaning windows G D Em Take my time D C I'll see you when my love grows G D Em Baby don't let it slide D C I'm a working man in my prime G Cleaning windows (number hundred and thirty-six)
[Verse]
C G I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon on the street where I was born C G Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, and Muddy Waters singin' I'm A Rolling Stone C G I went home and read my Christmas Humphreys' book on Zen D G Curiosity Killed The Cat, Kerouac's Dharma Bums and On The Road
[Chorus]
G D Em What's my line? D C I'm happy cleaning windows G D Em Take my time D C I'll see you when my love grows G D Em Baby don't let it slide D C I'm a working man in my prime G Cleaning windows
I'll say it again...
(and then he continues to 'say it again')...
