Van Morrison - Cleaning Windows: Ukulele Chords

         D#
Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street
          A#
Got in my nose
D#
Yeah, we carried our ladders down the street
                            A#
With the wrought iron gate rows
D#
I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers
             A#
in my lunch break
F
Bought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner
                          A#
And went straight back to work

Oh, Sam was up on top
And I was on the bottom with the V
We went for lemonade and Paris buns
At the shop and broke for tea (That's right)
I collected from the lady
And I cleaned the fanlight inside-out
I was blowing saxophone on the weekend
In that down joint

Chorus:
          Gm
What's my line
     F              D#    A#
I'm happy cleaning windows
        Gm
Take my time
      F               D#
I'll see you when my love grows
 A#                  Gm
Baby! don't let it slide
       F                 D#
I'm a working man in my prime
          A#
Cleaning windows
                    D#
(Number thirty six!)

I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon
On the street where I was born (Yeah)
Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee
And Muddy Waters singin' "I'm A Rolling Stone"
I went home
And read my Christmas Humphreys' book on Zen
Curiosity killed the cat
Kerouac's "Dharma Bums" and "On the Road"

Chorus:
What's my line?
I'm happy cleaning windows (Hey)
Take my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Baby, don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
Cleaning windows
Say again
What's my line?
I'm happy cleaning windows
Well, I take my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
Cleaning windows

Alright, cleanin'
What'd you say number
Number a-hundred and twenty-six
Alright, we'll be ready tomorrow
