Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Intro:
G+G

G+G           C majorC       G+G
About five years ago I didn't have a cent
  C majorC       G+G     D MajorD      G+G
So looking for a job to the music man I went
  G+G           C majorC       G+G
The manager he said, "This band is got to roll
  C majorC        G+G   D MajorD       G+G
So climb aboard with me and hand over your soul"

Chorus:
      G+G
And so it's pick and pickin' hard
  C majorC         G+G   C majorC       G+G
As long as you can't stand pickin' all the day
    D MajorD    C majorC   G+G
Workin' for the music man

Verse:
  G+G           C majorC     G+G
The band began to roll and I lit up a smoke
   C majorC      G+G        D MajorD       C majorC
I was thinkin' to myself that this job was just a joke
  G+G            C majorC          G+G
But then I heard a yell, "Put on your boots, my son
   C majorC       G+G     D MajorD        G+G
Get off that dirty flood and make that guitar hum"

Chorus:

      G+G
And so it's pick and pickin' hard
  C majorC        G+G   C majorC        G+G
As long as you can't stand pickin' all the day
    D MajorD    C majorC   G+G
Workin' for the music man

Verse:

  G+G           C majorC        G+G
So everywhere we went and tired as I could be
 C majorC        G+G       D MajorD        C majorC
I soon made up my mind that this life was not for me
  G+G               C majorC       G+G
But then I heard a shout, "You're hired for the run
  C majorC       G+G    D MajorD        G+G
So get back up in here or make that guitar hum"

Chorus:

      G+G
And so it's pick and pickin' hard
  C majorC         G+G   C majorC        G+G
As long as you can't stand pickin' all the day
    D MajorD    C majorC   G+G
Workin' for the music man

Verse:

  G+G           C majorC         G+G
Now listen to my song, you men who played for fun
   C majorC       G+G      D MajorD       C majorC
Keep clear a music man, they'll take you for a run
  G+G             C majorC       G+G
The pickin' life is tough, you better stop it quick
   C majorC          G+G        D MajorD       G+G
It'll leave you where you started, you're better off to quit

Chorus:
       G+G
Or else it's pick and pickin' hard
  C majorC         G+G   C majorC        G+G
As long as you can't stand pickin' all the day
    D MajorD    C majorC   G+G
Workin' for the music man
