Verse: note, in the first 16 bars or so the guitar sounds to me like it is sliding up and down inversions of the
chords, so if you want, do that, for simplicity i am just listing the chords used, not specific inversions or
shapes.
Tried to make this intuitive, the #1's represent the first beat of each bar lined up with the according lyric w/
the chords above.

And he sings when he mops, seems to help him a lot

Where there's uneven stairs Mr. Landlord is there

Well, he mops all day, can't get away too long
B/F# E
And when he's through there's windows too

Then Nellie comes to see him

With a straight face, she comes to see him
C G
And taking her favorite pen from her pocket

She writes it down the things that she's found

And he always, sometimes gets a little nervous

'Cause he'd like for her to stay for a day…

[Verse 2]
G
”Would you care for a drink”
G
”This is business”, says she

”Tell me where are the vents for these apartments”
B/F# Em
So they go upstairs to inspect air
B/F# E
The air is good, it's really good up there
[Bridge]
D E
She's glad that he cares so much
D E
About the safety of electrical outlets
C G
And taking her favorite pen from her pocket
F E
She writes it down, the things that she's found

But she always sometimes gets a little nervous

'Cause she'd like to stay with him for a day…
