D 
G 
A 
D 
In the
G 
D 
middle of late last night,
C 
Em 
C 
I'm sitting on a   curb
G 
Didn't know what about,
D 
C 
Em 
C 
A 
something had me quite dis turbed
Em 
A street sweeper
D 
comes whistling by
C 
G 
A 
Bouncing every step
Bbdim 
Bm 
Seems strange how good he felt
E 
Em 
G 
So I asked him while he swept
D 
He said, it's my job
A 
Em 
To be cleaning up this mess
G 
Bm 
A 
And that's the best reason to go for me
D 
It's my job
A 
Em 
G 
To be better than the rest and
D 
A 
D 
that makes the day for me
G 
C 
D 
Got an uncle that owns a bank.
C 
He's a  self -made millionaire
G 
D 
Never had anyone to thank,
C 
Em 
C 
A 
never had no one to care
Em 
D 
He always seemed kind of sad to me,
C 
Em 
A 
so I asked him why that was
C 
Bm 
And he told me it's because
E 
Em 
In my contract,
D 
G 
Em 
D 
there's a  clause that says it's my job
A 
Em 
G 
to be worried half to death and that's
Bm 
A 
the thing people respect in me.
D 
Em 
G 
It's my job, and without it  I'd be less
D 
A 
D 
G 
Em 
G 
A 
D 
than what I expect to be.
G 
Bm 
D 
Well, I've been lazy most all my life
C 
Singing songs in sleep and late
G 
D 
Any manual labor I've
C 
done is purely by mistake
A 
Em 
D 
If street sweepers can smile
C 
Em 
A 
And I got no right to feel upset
C 
Bsus4 
Bm 
But sometimes I        still forget
E 
G 
D 
Till the lights come on
G 
and the stage is set
D 
And the song hits home and
G 
Em 
A 
you feel that sweat
D 
Em 
G 
It's my job to be different from the rest
Bm 
A 
And that's the best reason to go for me
D 
G 
It's my job to be better than the rest
D 
A 
And that's a tough break for me
D 
A 
G 
It's my job to be cleaning up this mess,
Bm 
A 
and that's the best reason to go for me.
D 
G 
Em 
G 
It's my job to be different from the rest,
D 
A 
D 
and that makes the day for me.
Thank you.
Thanks a lot.
Well, help me and bring
Suzanne
