But, if this is right, this is the bass transcription for the verse: C#m G#m A B G ------------|------------|------------|--------------|| D ------------|-------1----|------------|--------------|| A -4--2-----2-|----2-----2-|----4--7--4-|-2--------2-2-|| E -------4----|-4----------|-5----------|----4--2------|| I am not too sure about the chorus bass notes, so I will not transcribe them. Basically: Intro: C#m (the piano plays the notes C#, G#, G) C#m A-A-B C#m G#m A B C#m G#m A B You~re working at your leisure to learn the things you~ll need C#m G#m A B The promises you make tomorrow carry no guarantee C#m G#m A B I~ve seen your qualifications, you got a Ph.D. C#m G#m A B I~ve got one art O-level, it did nothing for me E B A Working for the rat race E B A You know you~re wasting your time E B A C#m Working for the rat race A A B You~re no friend of mine You plan your conversation to impress the college bar Just talking about your mother and daddy~s Jaguar Wear your political T-shirt and sacred college scarf Discussing the world situation, but just for a laugh You~ll be working for the rat race You know you~re wasting your time Working for the rat race You~re no friend of mine Break: C#m G#m A B (only repeated so many times) Working for the rat race You know you~re wasting your time Working for the rat race You~re no friend of mine Just working at your leisure to learn the things you don~t need The promises you make tomorrow carry no guarantee I~ve seen your qualifications, you got a Ph.D. I~ve got one art O-level, it did nothing for me Working for the rat race You know you~re wasting your time You~re working for the rat race You~re no friend of mine
