[Intro]
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
