Verse 1:
A minorAm          Am7/11
Skint in a material world
Am6Am6                  A minorAm
I did a warehouse stint for south sea girl
    A minorAm          Am7/11
It was Hong Kong clothes for cash
Am6Am6                  A minorAm
Everybody got treated worse than trash
D9D9
Punch the card in the company clock
Am7/11
Load trolleys and the company trucks
  A minorAm
And around and around the whole day through
    D9D9                       A minorAm
And you couldn't sit down when there was nothing to do

Verse 2:
        A minorAm             Am7/11
Well, they had beaten up people from every land
Am6Am6                  A minorAm
Fools like me trying to be in bands
  A minorAm              Am7/11
A augmentedA little French girl so good to me
    Am6Am6               A minorAm
But I couldn't love her back so lonely
     D9D9
It was a backpacker travelling through
  A minorAm
A augmentedA lumberjack with the travelling blues
    A minorAm
We had worn out shoes and worn out cuffs
D9D9               A minorAm
Big ideas that were never big enough

Chorus:
            A minorAm
He said, "The man wants you, go wash his car"
   A minorAm
"Hey, you, I'm talking to you"
    A minorAm
I said, "Me? Not me, uh, uh, no can do"
A minorAm
No can, can do, no can
A minorAm
No can, can do, no can

Verse 3:
A minorAm            Am7/11
Some were grown up unlike me
     Am6Am6         A minorAm
And were dealing with reality
    A minorAm              Am7/11
I was spitting, sulking, smoking, shirking
      Am6Am6                 A minorAm
While the lady from Jamaica was singing and working
   D9D9
I had everyone but me to blame
  A minorAm
And everyday was just the same
    A minorAm
Well, nobody ever said it was a righteous world
       D9D9                    A minorAm
But if they did, they never said to that south sea girl

Chorus:
            A minorAm
He said, "The man wants you, go wash his car"
   A minorAm
"Hey, you, I'm talking to you"
    A minorAm
I said, "Me? Not me, uh, uh, no can do"
A minorAm
No can, can do, no can
A minorAm
No can, can do, no can

Verse 4:
      A minorAm            Am7/11
Well, I've made my bed on people's floors
Am6Am6                A minorAm
Opened up and closed some doors
 A minorAm              Am7/11
Dreamed that if my dreams came true
    Am6Am6              A minorAm
Then I wouldn't do what I didn't want to
      D9D9
Walking through the gates to the outside
  A minorAm              Am7/11
To dream some dreams that never died
    A minorAm
And I walked the streets of London town
 D9D9                 A minorAm   E9E9
Looking for a place to put my head down

Chorus:
            A minorAm
He said, "The man wants you, go wash his car"
   A minorAm
"Hey, you, I'm talking to you"
    A minorAm
I said, "Me? Not me, uh, uh, no can do"
A minorAm
No can, can do, no can
A minorAm
No can, can do, no can
