[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]A long time ago, 1965 o[D]r so,
I met a [Am]man with a face that was a r[Em]eal disgrace.
he [G]took, and put them in a [D]little book
So ambi[Am]tious was he,
he even took a [D]picture of me
Then [G]one day, he opened up a [D]studio
To try to [Am]make a pay,
make it hit re[Em]cords you know
And he [G]asked me along,
to write him [D]a little song
I got the [Am]studio free to sign
this pa[D]per by me
You got to [C]take good [D]care of [G]business,
[Em]my friend
[C]Take good [D]care of your[G]self
You got to [C]take good [D]care of [G]business,
[D]my [Em]friend
Other[C]wise you'll [D]end up on the [G]shelf
Later on, after I wro[D]te that song
Even [Am]had it played up on
[Em]Radio 1
[G]Man, as you say, money all [D]gone away
You [Am]spend it, see,
up and down the [D]country
You've got to [C]take good [D]care of [G]business,
[Em]my friend
[C]Take good [D]care of your[G]self,
you've got to
[C]Take good [D]care of [G]business, [D]my [Em]friend
Oth[C]erwise you'll [D]end up on the [G]shelf
Well, I started to say
I mean, we've [D]got to play
What else [Am]can we do?
We're not [Em]clever like you
[G]Ben said he, you know how [D]unfair
You can [Am]sign for the company
For [D]another ten years
You've got to [C]take
Take good [D]care of [G]business, [Em]boy
[C]Take good [D]care of yourself,
[G]you[C]'ve got to take
Take good [D]care of the [G]business, boy
[Em]Otherwise [C]you're gonna
[D]en d up on that shelf
