GUEST,Martin Guha Lyr Req: Garbage Man Blues (8) RE: Lyr Req: garbageman blues 25 Sep 09


The Luis Russell orch didn't have any more words. The Four Aces did a version with more words, but no particular connection to the title. I made some for it:

Chorus

Every morning 'bout nine o'clock
Just as her old man heads off round the block
She gets out her can, ready for the garbage man

Chorus

Every evening about half=past four
He finds a nice empty can waiting ready at the door.
Another fine job for the neighbourhood garbage man.

Chorus

Up the street you can hear Miss Lucie cryin'
'Her can's full'... 'And her can's full'...
But you can squeeeeze a bit more in mine.

Chorus
another fine job for the neighbourhood garbage man.

(c) me, but you can use this if you like. What chords do you use? I am used to singing, but fairly new to strumming.
