Verse 1:
Am          Am7/11
Skint in a material world
Am6                  Am
I did a warehouse stint for south sea girl
    Am          Am7/11
It was Hong Kong clothes for cash
Am6                  Am
Everybody got treated worse than trash
D9
Punch the card in the company clock
Am7/11
Load trolleys and the company trucks
  Am
And around and around the whole day through
    D9                       Am
And you couldn't sit down when there was nothing to do

Verse 2:
        Am             Am7/11
Well, they had beaten up people from every land
Am6                  Am
Fools like me trying to be in bands
  Am              Am7/11
A little French girl so good to me
    Am6               Am
But I couldn't love her back so lonely
     D9
It was a backpacker travelling through
  Am
A lumberjack with the travelling blues
    Am
We had worn out shoes and worn out cuffs
D9               Am
Big ideas that were never big enough

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

Verse 3:
Am            Am7/11
Some were grown up unlike me
     Am6         Am
And were dealing with reality
    Am              Am7/11
I was spitting, sulking, smoking, shirking
      Am6                 Am
While the lady from Jamaica was singing and working
   D9
I had everyone but me to blame
  Am
And everyday was just the same
    Am
Well, nobody ever said it was a righteous world
       D9                    Am
But if they did, they never said to that south sea girl

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

Verse 4:
      Am            Am7/11
Well, I've made my bed on people's floors
Am6                Am
Opened up and closed some doors
 Am              Am7/11
Dreamed that if my dreams came true
    Am6              Am
Then I wouldn't do what I didn't want to
      D9
Walking through the gates to the outside
  Am              Am7/11
To dream some dreams that never died
    Am
And I walked the streets of London town
 D9                 Am   E9
Looking for a place to put my head down

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