G Well, I had just got out from the county prison D7 Doin' ninety days for non-support Tried to find me an executive position G But no matter how smooth I talked They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was a genius C7 A The man say, "We got all that we can use." G B7 Em G Now I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin' C7 D7 G workin' at the car wash blues G Well, I should be sittin' in an air conditioned office D7 In a swivel chair Talkin' some trash to the secretaries G Sayin', "Here, now mam-ma, come on over here." Instead, I'm stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag C7 A And walkin' home in soggy old shoes G B7 Em G With them steadily depressin', low down mind messin' C7 D7 G workin' at the car wash blues C C7 G You know a man of my ability he should be smokin' on a big cigar C C7 But till I get myself straight I guess I'll just have to wait A D7 In my rubber suit a-rubbin' these cars G Well, all I can do is a shake my head D7 You might not believe that it's true For workin' at this end of Niagara Falls G Is an undiscovered Howard Hughes So baby, don't expect to see me C7 A With no double martini in any high-brow society news G B7 Em G 'Cause I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin' C7 D7 G workin' at the car wash blues G B7 Em G Yeah, I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin' C7 D7 G workin' at the car wash blues
