Lindisfarne - Taking Care Of Business



INTRO:: G C (12x)

VERSE 1::
 G          D
A long time ago, in 1965 or so
    Am            Em
I met a man with a face, it was a real disgrace
G                 D
Pictures he took and put them in a little book
   Am               D
So ambitious was he, he even took a picture of me

VERSE 2::
G              D
Then one day, he opened up a studio (start recording now)
      Am           Em
He tried to make it pay, making hit records, you know
    G              D
And he asked me along, write him a little song
     Am             D
I got the studio free, just sign this paper for me


CHORUS::
     C      D    G      Em    C
You got to__ take good care of business, my friend
     D      G
Take good care of yourself
     C      D    G      Em
You got to__ take good care of business, my friend
C        D       G
Otherwise you'll end up on the shelf (oh yeah)


VERSE 3::
         D
Later on, after I wrote that song
   Am          Em
Even heard it played up on Radio One (Radio One)
G            D
Manager said, "Money all gone away
  Am                 D
You spent it, you see, up and down the country"


CHORUS::
     C      D    G      Em    C
You got to__ take good care of business, my friend
     D      G
Take good care of yourself
     C      D    G      Em
You got to__ take good care of business, my friend
C        D       G
Otherwise you'll end up on the shelf


VERSE 4::
                    D
Well, I started to say, "I mean, we've got to play
     Am          Em
What else can we do? We're not clever like you"
G              D
Then, said he, "You know how I am fair
    Am            D
You can sign to the company for another ten year"


CHORUS::
       C        D    G     Em   C
You've got to take, take good care of business, boys
     D      G
Take good care of yourself
       C        D    G     Em
You've got to take, take good care of business, boys
C           D       G C G C G C G D G
