MAQUET\" Subject: Tab: We Can't Dance by Genesis Genesis 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. For any errors, comments, corrections, etc, email me at [email protected] For more Exclusive tabs, go to my guitar homepage.A> Intro/Verse: ------------ This is the main riff for most of the song.

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 Bridge 2: --------- Bb F C e:--------------------------------------| B:--------------------------------------| G:--------------------------------------| D:-----0------------3---------------2---| A:-----1------------3---------------3---| E:-----1------------1---------------3---| Bb Eb F (synth bit) e:-----------------------------------------1----------| B:--------------------------------------------1-------| G:--------------------------------------2--------2----| D:-0---------------13----------3------3---------------| A:-1---------------13----------3----------------------| E:-1---------------11----------1----------------------| Bb F And checking everything is in place C You never know who's looking on 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..." -- Frederic Maquet Webpage: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/3224/ **********************
