Mark Knopfler – No Can Do (Guitar)

Am                   A7sus4
Skint in a material world

Am6                                    Am
I did a warehouse stint for south sea girl

        Am                   A7sus4
It was Hong Kong clothes for cash

Am6                                    Am
Everybody got treated worse than 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                                             Am
And you couldn't sit down when there was nothing to do

                Am                          A7sus4
Well, they had beaten up people from every land

Am6                                    Am
Fools like me trying to be in bands

   Am                           A7sus4
A little French girl so good to me

       Am6                             Am
But I couldn't love her back so 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

                        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

Am                        A7sus4
Some were grown up unlike me

          Am6                 Am
And were dealing with reality

        Am                            A7sus4
I was spitting, sulking, smoking, shirking

           Am6                                  Am
While the lady from Jamaica was 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                                        Am
But if they did, they never said to that south sea girl

                        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

            Am                       A7sus4
Well, I've made my bed on people's floors

Am6                                Am
Opened up and closed some doors

  Am                            A7sus4
Dreamed that if my dreams came true

        Am6                            Am
Then I wouldn't do what I didn't want to

           D9
Walking through the gates to the outside

    Am                           A7sus4
To dream some dreams that never died

       Am
And I walked the streets of London town

 D9                                 Am      E9
Looking for a place to put my head down

                        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
