E5                   C#5
Laying in the alleyway
F#5                      A5
Maybe some rich fool will come my way
E5             C#5
And throw me a dime
F#5                   A5
That's all I need to give me more wine
B5
All I got is to my names

Beat up guitar with three broken strings

E5               C#5
And I sure know
F#5                A5      A5        E5         
B5  (fill shown above)
I'm just saying "Taking care of no business"

Look it here
E5
Hey kitty cat!
            C#5
Where you going?
F#5                       A5        E5
This part of the alley is my home
                         C#5        F#5
Walking all over outside my wall
                  A5                  B5
Boy you sure got a whole lotta gall

I had a sandwich in a paper bag

But a rat stole it

Ain't that some drag?
E5              C#5
Lord, I know, I know
F#5          A5      A5      E5         B5
I sure ain't taking care of no business

Break it home

E5                         C#5
Now I'll try to get me a job
F#5
Feeding chickens
            A5
And washing down hogs
E5                                  C#5
But that meant standing up all the time
      F#5                  A5
And standing up to me is just like dying
B5
I'm so lazy that I could cry

But tears are just too lazy to fall out my eyes
E5             C#5        F#5        A5    E5
Lord, lord, lord, I'm so messed up
                 E5                  C#5
Can't even take care of no business
                        F#5  A5      E5 C#5 
F#5 A5 E5
Play it one more time
   B5           E5
Aww, woe is me
        B5                  E5              C#5
Aww, I sure wish I had me a sandwhich ahhh anything
     F#5                       A5 B5     E5
I'm so broke I can't even pay attention
        F#5               A5   A5             E5   
fill  E5
