             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
