This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Dm (riff 1)

C Am Dm

Daylight dawns, you wake up and yawn, Mr. Clean.

C Am Dm

A piece of toast from the one you love most and you leave.

Am G

You catch your bus, in the 8'o'clock rush,

Am G

And catch your train, in the morning rain.

C C

Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean.

Dm (riff 1)

C Am Dm

If you see me, in the street, look away.

C Am Dm

Cos I don't ever want to catch you looking at me, Mr. Clean.

Am G

Cos I hate you, and your wife,

Am G

And if I get the chance I'll fuck up your life.

C C

Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean.

Dm (riff 1)

Is that seen?

Em7 Dm7

Surround yourself with dreams,

C G Am D

Of pretty young girls and anyone you want but,

Em7 Dm7 C G Am D

Please don't forget me, or any of my kind,

Em7 Dm7

Cos I'll make you think again,

C G

When I stick your face in the grind.

C Bm

Getting pissed, at the annual office do,

C Bm

Smart new suit, and you went to Cambridge too,

C Bm

You miss page 3, but the Times is right for you,

Bm

And mum and dad are very proud of you.

C Bm

Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean.

C Bm

Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean.
