Cappo on Third Fret



[Lead, in:, G, with, occasional, index, finger, hammerons]

C (add pinky on third fret of high E string)

Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street

Got in my [G]nose

[C]As we carried our ladders down the street

[As, we, carried, our, ladders, down, the, street] G

With the wrought-iron gate r[G]ows

[C]I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers 

in my lunch-b[G]reak

[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.comi/v/van-morrison/233430.html ]

[C]Bought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner

And went straight back to wo[G]rk.

Oh, S[C]am was up on top

And I was on the bottom with the [G]v

[C]We went for lemonade and Paris buns

At the shop and broke for t[G]ea

[C]I collected from the lady

And I cleaned the fanlight insid[G]e-out

[C]I was blowing saxophone on the weekend

In that down jo[G]int.



[G]What's [D/F#]my li[EM]ne?

I'm ha[D]ppy cleaning wi[C]ndows

[G]Take [D/F#] my [EM]time

I'll s[D]ee you when my [C]love grows

[G]Baby don't l[D/F#]et it sli[EM]de

I'm a wo[D]rking man in my pri[C]me

Cleaning wi[G]ndows (number a hundred and thirty-six)



Second Verse

I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon

On the street where I was born

Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee,

Muddy Waters singin' I'm A Rolling Stone

I went home and read my Christmas Humphreys' book on Zen

Curiosity killed the cat

Kerouac's Dharma Bums and On The Road



Second Chorus

What's my line?

I'm happy cleaning windows

Take my time

I'll see you when my love grows

Baby don't let it slide

I'm a working man in my prime

Cleaning windows
