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."

Now I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin'
C7

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

With them steadily depressin', low down mind messin'
C7

workin' at the car wash blues

You know a man of my ability he should be smokin' on a big cigar

But till I get myself straight I guess I'll just have to wait

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

workin' at the car wash blues

Yeah, I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin'
