I Can Only Give You Everything Tabs & Lyrics by Them
I Can Only Give You Everything
guitar tabs lyrics
l as it may seem, I wouldn't trade this demented punker (from
_Them Again_) for all of _Astral Weeks_. Covered by countless garage
bands (including the fledgling MC5 - beat *that* for punk credentials)
although the version I heard most often as a beat-crazed teen was by
the Bram Rigg Set. Killer fuzz guitar riff so simple anyone can play
it - which of course was the entire idea. -- AWR

Verse 1:
G C F G C F G C F G C F [continue]
I can't give you more than what I've got
You can't expect to get what I have not
I... can only give you lovin' 'til the sun goes down
And... until the leaves of summer turn to shades of brown

Verse 2 (organ enters):
Why can't I get you to understand
'Cause after all I am just a man
You... are on my mind when stars appear and shadows fall
And... when every little flower blooms and bluebirds call
I try and I try
But baby, you know that I
Can only give you everything

I'd... be like a little child if I was on my own

A little bit of this
A little bit of that
Everything, oh...
