"Takin' Care Of Business" (J.J. Cale)

The #8 album has some nice suprises. I never liked the album, really, sounds thinner (due to first time digital recording?) and all that.


Anyway, this one's a nice little boogie number that introduces the band members, so wonder why he doesn't play this live much?


Key: F#.The intro is mostly the F# minor pentatonic.


Chords are:

[B]Tim Drummond's on bass, Jim Keltner's on the [F#]drums
[B]They'll put it right on you for a shot of [F#]rhum
[B]I'll tell you right now it's a [F#]funky [C#]beat
[A]Downtown, [Ab(m)]takin' care of [F#]business on the street

  1. Thanks for your help.
    May I add a suggestion:
    in place of C# couldn't we hear c#/D# wich
    is played (D# bass note) then c# three chords under whitout the C# low bass note.
    not very clear.
    Same goes for A followed by Ab wich is A (low bass A) then Ab (onloy the three notes wich are under the Ab bass note of the Ab chord.
