[Verse 1]

            G 
Well, I had just got out from the county prison 
      D7 
Doin' ninety days for non-support
         D7
Tried to find me an executive position
       G 
But no matter how smooth I talked
                            G
They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was genius
                 C7                  A 
The man say, "We got all that we can use."


[Chorus]

               G          B7        Em       G 
Now I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin'
C7             D7       G 
workin' at the car wash blues


[Verse 2]

        G 
Well, I should be sittin' 
      G
In an air conditioned 
D7
Office in a swivel chair
             D7
Talkin' some trash to the secretaries
                                        G
Sayin', "Here, now mam-ma, come on over here."
                        G
Instead, I'm stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag
    C7                        A
And walkin' home in soggy old shoes


[Chorus]
          G          B7        Em       G 
With them steadily depressin', low down mind messin'
C7             D7       G 
workin' at the car wash blues


[Bridge]

           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


[Verse 3]

      G 
Well, all I can do is a shake my head
    D7 
You might not believe that it's true
    D7 
For workin' at this end of Niagara Falls
     G 
Is a undiscovered Howard Hughes
         G
So baby, don't expect to see me
                              C7                A
With no double martini in any high-brow society news


[Chorus]

                  G          B7        Em       G 
'Cause I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin'
C7             D7       G 
workin' at the car wash blues


[Interlude]

G  D7  G


[Pre-Chorus]

         G
So baby, don't expect to see me
                              C7                A
With no double martini in any high-brow society news


[Chorus]

                  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
