I'm never gonna be the handyman around the house my father was
C Cmaj9 Am Am7 F Fmaj9 D7
So don't be asking me to hang a curtain rail for you, because
Am Am7 D7
Screwdriver business just gets me confused
Am Am7 D7
It takes me half an hour to change a fuse
Am Am7 D7
And when I flicked the switch the lights all blew
F Fmaj9 C
I'm not your handyman
C Cmaj9 Am Am7 F Fmaj9 C
Don't be expecting me to put up shelves or build a garden shed
C Cmaj9 Am Am7 F Fmaj9 D7
But I can write a song that tells the world how much I love you instead
Am Am7 D7 Am Am7 D7
I'm not any good at pottery so let's lose the 't' and just shift back the 'e'
Am Am7 D7 F Fmaj9 D7
And I'll find a way to make my poetry build a roof over our heads
Am Am7 D7
I know it looks like I'm just reading the paper
Am Am7 D7
But these ideas I'll turn to gold dust later
Am Am7 D7
Cause I'm a writer not a decorator�
F Fmaj9 C
I'm not your handyman
This is just my approximation of the way he plays this live. Seems OK to me but
please let me know if you can find any issues with it!
