Takin' Care of Business chords
Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO)
C Bb F 5x *
C C7
You get up every morning,
Bb
from your alarm clock's warning,
F C
fake the 8:15 into the city
C7
There's a whistle up above,
Bb F
and people pushing, people shoving,
C F C
and the girls who try to look pretty
C7
And if your train's on time,
Bb F
you can get to work by nine,
Bb C
and start your slaving job to get your pay
C7
If you ever get annoyed,
Bb F
look at me I'm self-employed,
C F C
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be...
C Bb
Taking care of business, every day
C Bb
Taking care of business, every way
C Bb
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine,
C Bb
taking care of business, and working overtime
Work out!
C Bb F
C C7
If it were easy as fishing,
Bb F
you could be a musician,
Bb C
if you could make sounds loud or mellow
C7
Get a second-hand guitar,
Bb F
chances are you'll go far,
C F C
if you get in with the right bunch of fellows
