Company Man

Am(add9)  A7   D/A  E/A   Am(add9)   Em7  F6

[Verse 1]

A                      Em    A         Dsus2
It seems you've been living on your own
             G  D
Lonely and free
A                Em      Asus4   Dsus2
  Looking to make yourself known
          G  D
Same as me

[Verse 2]
       E7sus4   E#dim7  F#m7
Well I see you in the public eyes
   G                    Bm7
I see you're looking fine
    E7sus4    E#dim7  F#m7
The boy would be a businessman
       Bm7        A       D
And he signs the bottom line

[Chorus]
            A
Singing: "Company man
                        Em  G  D
Do what you can with my name
 A
Rock and roll man, here I am
     E7sus4    E#dim7         F#m7
I'm staking my claim to fame"

[Verse 3]
                G                    Bm7
He's got the smiling face of a friend
              G                    Bm7  F#m7
Still you're not quite certain you know him
    G                  D
The smile turns into a grin
              A/E E  A/E E
What do you owe him?
            Dsus4    D  A
You know you owe him

[Verse 4]

           Em7    D/F#  G   A     Dsus2
So if there's something you do well
                  G    D   A
Something you're proud of
               Em       Asus4    Dsus2
Better to save some for yourself
                 G  D
If that's allowed

[Verse 5]

    E7sus4     E#dim7     F#m7
The crowd will never know you
     G                 Bm7
You hardly know yourself
        E7sus4   E#dim7  F#m7
They'll turn you round and blow you up
          Bm7           A       D
Until you think you're someone else

[Chorus]

A
"Company man
                        Em  G  D
Do what you can with my name
 A
Rock and roll man, here I am
     E7sus4    E#dim7         F#m7
I'm staking my claim to fame"

[Verse 6]
        G                    Bm7
He can turn your time to gold
            G                  Bm7   F#m7
You better make as much as you can my friend
             G                     D
Because his money will turn you old
                  A/E E  A/E E
And they need a young man
               Dsus4     D  C
The job takes a young man

[Outro]
    A         Em  G  D
Oh Company man oh
    A              Em  G  D
My Rock and roll man oh
A          Em  G  D
Company man oh
    A              Em  G  D
My Rock and roll man oh
    A              Em  G  D
You can shuck and jive for me
    A              Em  G  D
And I - yeah oh
