"You Can't Have Me"
from the album Third/Sister Lovers (1978)
Considering this is one of the more guitar-heavy tracks from the record, I was quite
surprised to find chords/tabs hadn't been submitted for it yet. As with much of
Third/Sister Lovers, there is a lot of noodling that deviates from this very skeletal
chord progression, so make your own way through it. This is a fun, simple song that sounds
awesome with
plenty of distortion and loud drums.
Standard tuning (E-A-D-G-B-E)
Intro: A-D (x4)
[A]Espion[D]age, the [A]words to come back to m[D]e
Sidew[A]inder, you k[D]lepto, oh
[E]You do steal things
Unawares, but I don't care
You can't h[G]ave me
You can't h[D]ave me
You can't h[G]ave me
You can't h[D]ave me, not for f[A]ree
A-D (x4)
[A]Gymnas[D]t, working o[A]ut on the parallel ra[D]ils
Cuttin' t[A]rails, screams and w[D]ails
[A]Face go pale, never fa[D]ils
[E]You do steal things
Unawares, but I don't care
You can't h[G]ave me
You can't h[D]ave me
You can't h[G]ave me
You can't h[D]ave me, not for free
A-D (x12)
The [C]drummer said you were not very clean
The drummer said you were n[D]ot very clean
And I k[E]now what he means
I know what he means, oh
You can't ha[G]ve me
You can't ha[D]ve me
You can't ha[G]ve me
You can't ha[D]ve me, not for f[A]ree
