We Can't Dance

Tabbed by Frederic Maquet. [email protected]

This is a classic rock tune and I couldn't believe no one had tabbed it
(although it is
pretty simple)....This is by no means entirely correct, as the original
has a synthesizer that
adds a good bit of the punch, and the bass does a lot too.
If some of the chords seem unusual, it's because I wanted it to sound as
Bass-y as
possible (to give it some crunch!). You can always use the normal
chords although
it'll sound less "authentic". Enjoy.

Hot sun Beating Burning wal- around
down my feet king

C C G G F G G
Hot sun beating down
C C G G Bb C
burning my feet just walking around.

(Same thing:)

Hot sun making me sweat
'Gators getting close, hasn't got me yet

Chorus: (same tune as verse)
-------
C C G G F G G
I can't dance, I can't talk.
C C G G Bb C
The only thing about me is the way I walk.

I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling everything.

Verse 2:
--------

Blue jeans sitting on the beach,
her dog's talking to me, but she's out of reach.

She's got a body under that shirt,
but all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt.

'Cause, I can't dance, I can't talk.
The only thing about me is the way I walk.
No, I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling.

checking... place... know

Bb F
And checking everything is in place,
C
you never know who's looking on.

Verse 3:
--------

Young punk spilling beer on my shoes,
fat guy's talking to me trying to steal my blues.

Thick smoke, see her smiling through.
I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool.

But I can't dance, I can't talk.
The only thing about me is the way I walk.
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling

A perfect body with a perfect face, uhan.

End:
----

Play chorus lots of time with loads of scat vocals...while
playing the "intro-riff"...

and singing:

"I won't dance, please don't ask me..."
