Ha ha ha!
The clean up [Gm]
woman, [F] [Gm] she'll
[G] [F] She's the one [Gm] that'll [F] kill men when you dump them in the [Gm] street.
[F] The clean up [Gm] woman,
[F] she'll sweep them off the street.
[G]
[Dm] She's the one [G] that'll kill [F]
men when you dump them in the street.
[Eb]
[Am] Chop and slick, [Dm]
was my ruin.
[Gm] But I found out [Bbm] that all I was doing [G] was making it easy.
[N] The clean up woman, I'll tell you what, I heard that song and I fell off a chair.
Man, AM radio.
I mean, they said, here's Betty Wright, the clean up woman.
And I went, whoa!
And I just run down to Goody and Peridot, who's record store, for 50 cents to buy the single.
I remember where I was.
You know, people remember where they were for things.
I remember where I was from when Mr.
Big Stuff came out, too.
That was another one.
And the first time I heard Brown Sugar.
Anyway, enough of that bullshit.
Let me get into this.
This is in the key of D.
More appropriately, I think the intro is this.
It's
[Dm] [Gm] [Dm]
[F]
[Bbm] got that nice [B] snap at the beginning.
And I don't play with a pick, so I can [F]
do that with these chords.
And that is D.
F.
Let's take the D shape and move it up to F.
And [D] then your next move is going to be to a D minor.
[A] And that would be the A, [Dm] the D, and the F.
[F] And then you're going to go back to this three note chord.
[B] Anything less than three notes is [C] not a chord.
That's an [G] F.
And then you're going to go to a G minor.
And that's the B flat, the D, and the G.
And then you're going to go to an F [E] triad again, an F chord.
Except this time the A is going to be in the bass.
[Fm] And that would be A, C, and F.
Just those three.
So you put it all [F] together and you've got
[Dm] [F]
[D] [F]
[Dm] [F]
[G] [F] I want to play it here.
I'm just playing
[Dm] [F]
And it's F to a [N] D minor.
To an F, to a G minor.
And then to an F.
I can get the 16th note going and some
[Fm]
[F]
[Gm] [D]
It's just a different way to play it.
And the B section [Am] goes A minor,
[Dm] D [Gm] minor, G minor.
[Dm] And it could even
it's probably a G minor [Db] 7th.
[Bbm]
I'm pretty sure this is a straight B flat minor.
So [Am] that's a drop and slick.
[Dm] One more.
[Gm] I found out [Bbm] that all I was doing
Yeah, [Gm] make this
yeah, that is definitely a G minor 7th.
[Bbm] And then make this a B flat [F] minor.
[Eb]
[N] And there's one other part.
And that is the accompanying guitar deal.
Let me see if I can remember that.
[C]
[A] Yeah, there it is.
And that is
[C] [F]
[C] [E]
[F] Let's see if I can call that out.
[Dbm] A C D C F [A] C D A C D
Now, that made a whole hell of a lot of sense, didn't it?
You're going, [B] please do that again.
[N] It might just be best to just do this slowly.
[C]
