When Im Cleaning Windows

George Formby

Text File

Ok this is the song transcribed for guitar. It's not exactly 'cool' but its a good
party song. It works best on an acoustic guitar with a real um-cha kind of chord
pattern like I've tabbed.

NOTE: The dot (.) symbol above the tab means staccato (stop the chord from ringing)!


Pattern 1:

  A .   .   .   .   .   .  D .   .  E .   .   .   .   .   .    .   .
e---0---0---0---0---0---0----2---2----0---0---0---0---0---0----0---0-
B---2---2---2---2---2---2----3---3----0---0---0---0---0---0----2---2-
G---2---2---2---2---2---2----2---2----1---1---1---1---1---1----2---2-
D---2---2---2---2---2---2--0-0-0-0----2---2---2---2---2---2----2---2-
A-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-------------2---2---2---2---2---2--0-0-0-0-
E-----------------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----------

Ok each stanza uses this pattern like so:

    A
Now I go cleaning windows
                  D
To earn an honest bob
E
For a nosy Parker
                     A
It's an interesting job

ALL of these verse use this pattern and also the instrumental breaks.


And each refrain uses pattern 2:

F#m .   .   .   .  E .   .   .   .  D .   .   .   .  E .     .
e---2---2---2---2----0---0---0---0----2---2---2---2----0---0-0-
B---2---2---2---2----0---0---0---0----3---3---3---3----0---0-0-
G---2---2---2---2----1---1---1---1----2---2---2---2----1---1-1-
D---4---4---4---4----2---2---2---2--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----2---2-2-
A---4---4---4---4----2---2---2---2---------------------2---2-2-
E-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-------------------0-0-0-0-0-


F#m
In my profession I work hard
E
But I'll never stop
     D
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
       E
Till I get right to the top


And that's it!
