Lead break 2
Verse 2 (just do the same chord riffs)
It’s as easy as fishing, you can be a musician,
if you could make sounds sort of mellow.
Get a second hand guitar, chances are you’ll go far
if you get in with the right bunch of fellows.
People see you having fun just a lyin’ in the sun,
tell them that you like it this way.
It’s the work that we avoid. Hey, we’re all self employeed.
We love to work at nothing all day.
[Chorus]
[Lead break]
Fill:
C-C-F-F-G#-G#-Bb-Bb
Take good care of my business when I’m away everyday.
