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
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

Bb		 Eb		  F
  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..."
