How Can I? chords by Steve Hackett

Intro Dm C F C

Dm     C
The local radio
   G7      C
Says sorry time to go
   Dm        C
But I don't sleep too well
      G7       C
Where are those Southern Belles

 G            F
Trying to get a telephone line
Am         G
Through South Caroline
   G            F
Your call may bring somebody down
   Am   G
For miles around
  Am      Dm  C
I'm watching her eyes again
F    G    Dm    C  Dm C F C
I won't use no fountain pen

  Dm     C
The lady isn't here
   G7       C
The message wasn't clear
  Dm       C
She left an hour ago
     G7        C
Screamed from the floor below

 G          F
Mother nature never gives in
   Am      G
She wants you to sing
   G      F
But how can I go on
   Am      G
Just singing this song
Am    Bb   Dm  C
My car's out of gas again
 G   F   Dm    C
Hurry home to see my friend

 F      Am     Dm
Money won't help you to win
  G      C
A new look at things
 F      G    Am      Dm
Loving can bring you down, so you fall
   G        F        Dm
Then why do you still try to get up at all
   Am      Bb   Dm    C
Your good and bad side showing through
G    F   Dm    C Dm C F C
Problems are a part of you

     Dm      C
You must love someone else
    G7      C
Or face life by yourself
    Dm     C
You may expect a call
    G7       C
She's waiting in the hall

     G          F
See the garden grows and it grows
   Am    G
Nobody even* knows
       G         F
And you can wear just any old thing
   Am     G
The show can begin
   Am    Dm   C
I'm falling asleep to dream
G    F    Dm    C  Dm C F C
No more hills to climb, it seems

F      Am     Dm
Money won't help you to win
  G      C
A new look at things
   F     G
You never give in
  Am      Dm
So why don't you sing
   G      F
But how can I go on
   Am      G
Just singing this song

  Am   Bb  Dm  C
My car's out of gas again
G    F    Dm    C  G F Dm C
I'll be home to see my friend
