Genesis

					We Can't Dance



Tabbed by Frederic Maquet.  f.maquet@ic.ac.uk



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

      burning my feet just walking around.



(Same thing:)



Hot sun making me sweat

'Gators getting close, hasn't got me yet

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.

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

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..."
