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.
