No Can Do

Am                   A7sus4
Skint in a material world
Am6                               
I did a warehouse stint for south 
     Am
sea girl
        Am                   A7sus4
It was Hong Kong clothes for cash
Am6                            
Everybody got treated worse than 
        Am
trash
D9
Punch the card in the company clock
A7sus4
Load trolleys and the company trucks
    Am
And around and around the whole day 
through
        D9                         
And you couldn't sit down when 
                    Am
there was nothing to do

[Verse 2]
                Am                 
Well, they had beaten up people 
         A7sus4
from every land
Am6                               
Fools like me trying to be in 
     Am
bands
   Am                           
A little French girl so good to 
A7sus4
me
       Am6                     
But I couldn't love her back so 
        Am
lonely
          D9
It was a backpacker travelling 
through
   Am
A lumberjack with the travelling 
blues
        Am
We had worn out shoes and worn out 
cuffs
D9                              Am
Big ideas that were never big enough

[Chorus]

                        Am
He said, "The man wants you, go wash
 his car"
      Am
"Hey, you, I'm talking to you"
        Am
I said, "Me? Not me, uh, uh, no can 
do"
Am
No can, can do, no can
Am
No can, can do, no can

[Verse 3]
Am                        A7sus4
Some were grown up unlike me
          Am6                 Am
And were dealing with reality
        Am                       
I was spitting, sulking, smoking, 
     A7sus4
shirking
           Am6                 
While the lady from Jamaica was 
                 Am
singing and working
      D9
I had everyone but me to blame
    Am
And everyday was just the same
        Am
Well, nobody ever said it was a 
righteous world
             D9                    
But if they did, they never said to
                    Am
 that south sea girl

[Chorus]
                        Am
He said, "The man wants you, go wash
 his car"
      Am
"Hey, you, I'm talking to you"
        Am
I said, "Me? Not me, uh, uh, no can 
do"
Am
No can, can do, no can
Am
No can, can do, no can

[Verse 4]
            Am                     
Well, I've made my bed on people's 
  A7sus4
floors
Am6                                
Opened up and closed some doors
Am

  Am                            
Dreamed that if my dreams came 
A7sus4
true
        Am6                     
Then I wouldn't do what I didn't 
       Am
want to
           D9
Walking through the gates to the 
outside
    Am                           
To dream some dreams that never 
A7sus4
died
       Am
And I walked the streets of London 
town
 D9                                
Looking for a place to put my head 
 Am      E9
down

[Chorus]
                        Am
He said, "The man wants you, go wash
 his car"
      Am
"Hey, you, I'm talking to you"
        Am
I said, "Me? Not me, uh, uh, no can 
do"
Am
No can, can do, no can
Am
No can, can do, no can
