Cappo on Third Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse]
C G
Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street got in my nose
C G
As we carried our ladders down the street with the wrought-iron gate rows
C G
I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers in my lunch-break
D G
Bought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner and went straight back to work
[Verse]
C G
Oh, Sam was up on top And I was on the bottom with the V
C G
We went for lemonade and Paris buns at the shop and broke for tea
C G
I collected from the lady and I cleaned the fanlight inside-out
D G
I was blowing saxophone on the weekend in that down joint
[Chorus]
G D Em
What's my line?
D C
I'm happy cleaning windows
G D Em
Take my time
D C
I'll see you when my love grows
G D Em
Baby don't let it slide
D C
I'm a working man in my prime
G
Cleaning windows (number hundred and thirty-six)
[Verse]
C G
I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon on the street where I was born
C G
Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, and Muddy Waters singin' I'm A Rolling Stone
C G
I went home and read my Christmas Humphreys' book on Zen
D G
Curiosity Killed The Cat, Kerouac's Dharma Bums and On The Road
[Chorus]
G D Em
What's my line?
D C
I'm happy cleaning windows
G D Em
Take my time
D C
I'll see you when my love grows
G D Em
Baby don't let it slide
D C
I'm a working man in my prime
G
Cleaning windows
I'll say it again...
(and then he continues to 'say it again')...
