Im Just A Man With A Job Ukulele

(ver. 1)
The Rakes
Dm
I'm just a man with a job
Dm
You can call me Harry, Jim or Bob
F                              C
Three floors below from Picadilly
                  Dm
It's dark and chilly
E
Counting the cars with cocktail bars
Keeping a check on four-wheeled wrecks

Dm
Three floors above it's not the same
 Dm 
Picadilly, lighting up the rain
F                            C
Here I'm a ghost in the cellar
                Dm
The kind of fellow
E
Who's counting days that could be nights
Count on the man who's counting lights

Dm                           Em                Dm
Counting lights, every night, every kind of light
Dm                           Em               Dm
Little lights, bigger lights, any kind of light
Dm                 Dm   G             C               
Headlights from a limo, wakin' up the wino 
Dm                          Em                 Dm
Counting lights, every night, every kind of light
Dm                           Em             Dm
Little lights, bigger lights, any kind of light

Em           Dm  Em               Dm
And every night, I'm counting lights
Em             Dm  Em              Dm

I'm just a man with a map
My 'A to Z' is open on my lap
Lady I know where you're goin'
Your class is showin'
Your headlights polished to a 'T'
I'll count your lights, you count on me

Someday I'll leave, I believe
If I can find the trump card in my sleeve
Counting the boats in Monte Carlo
A silver arrow
Upon a cabbie cap
My 'A to Z' flat on it's back

Counting lights, every night, every kind of light
Little lights, bigger lights, any kind of light
Leave it to the navy, look here comes a chevy
Counting lights, every night, every kind of light
Little lights, bigger lights, any kind of light
And every night, I'm counting lights
